Does anyone know where I might get a rod bag/carry case for a Drennan 13ft Acolyte Compact? The original is shaped so that it can be carried with a reel mounted (see photo) with the extension piece of the handle tucked in a pocket inside the case. The zip has broken on mine and Drennan no...

Does anyone know if it is possible to repair a small tear in the neoprene part of a Muckboot? (Arctic Sport). I caught it on some barbed wire hidden in undergrowth just where the neoprene joins the rubber foot section. Most of the time it is of no consequence but if i want to go a little way in...

I am afraid this is another landing net post.....but with a difference. I am looking for recommendations for a landing net to use when wading. My preference is to be able to stand in the river with the net slung over my shoulder which I can detach easily. It would also need to be of a...

Despite living in Cambridgeshire I have joined Hereford DAA. Why you may well ask? I like to visit the Wye for a few days in early autumn and by joining this year (£55) I get a reduced price next year as I will qualify for senior rate (£35) which seems a bargain compared with certain agencies...

Anyone had a chance to have a waggle or bought one of these rods yet? The stock level on their website is reducing so people must be buying them unseen. Be interested in any feedback.

Just seen these on the LIDL website. Could be useful for attaching extra items to your rucksack. https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/diy/parkside-carabiner-clip-or-shackle-hook-set/p29566

John Norris are advertising and HD Waterproof Sports Action Camera for just £34.99 reduced from £54.99 which seems to cheap to be any good so I wondered if anyone has any experience with this camera. https://www.johnnorris.co.uk/airflo-hd-waterproof-sports-action-camera.html#tabs

Any one any experience of the Navitas Insulated Boot. Seem a very reasonable price but do they perform well?

What is the view of the panel on rods with multiple tips? I don't find I need a quiver tip where I fish to the extent that a lot of the barbel bites I get merely require me to pick the rod up very quickly before it goes in the river! I can see you advantage of having a twin tip e.g. 1.5lb &...

I am considering buying a "Kelly" type kettle but notice there are other brands and wondered if anyone had any tips on which one to buy. As well as the Kelly brand I have come across Storm and Ghillie brands. I found this one Genuine STORM Kettle, just over 1 pint, POPPIN Kit, new from...

You might need to be of a certain age to remember the Monty Python Spam Sketch but for you Spam lovers out there here is the ultimate Spam experience...

Anyone know if there is a screw fitting available to mount a camera on to the thread at the top of a standard bankstick? I mostly fish alone and presently take photos with fish in the net or on an unhooking mat but would like to include my mugshot. I fish roving style so don't want to cart...

I was talking to the club bailiff on our water today discussing meat baits and in particular he was recommending Polony Meat which as a newcomer I have yet to try. He did, however, stress the importance, in his view, of shaping the piece of meat to a rough ball by breaking/cutting off the...

This is my first season of serious barbel fishing and I have enjoyed reasonable success over the summer on a river not noted for it barbel but limited to some faster flowing backwaters and weirpools. Most fish have come to 15mm halibut boilies and I have loose fed 4mm halibut pellets and broken...

Why is it anglers never seem to catch small barbel? The smallest I have ever caught apart from a 9" fish I caught in a still water was around 2lbs. They must eat so why don't we catch them and they don't seem to get caught accicentally by anglers targeting other species.
