I did search the forum and can see there's been a few similar topics discussed over the years however, I REALLY would like to use a landing net head that folds down after use. My current large Korum Latex Spoon has been a good net for me and held together well, but it's such a cumbersome beast...

Morning all, Any Notts Fed members on this board? I've just paid up for the coming season with a view to having a go at Thrumpton, Viaducts, Clifton. Know bugger all about these places so wondered if any BFW members frequent these places 😅👍 Cheers, Rob

Thought I'd start a new thread about this topic, I'm so excited 😂 Will report back when I have some useful feedback, so far I've charged the batteries and tried one on :p

Well I had no idea what I had caught, but a good friend reliably tells me that it was massive for the species! Took a liking to 10 maggots on a size 8 hook 😂

Hi all, after a pair of reels to go on some flood water rods. I'm probably trying to push custard up hill asking for 2nd hand Shimano 6000D or OC reels but if anyone has a tidy pair laying around they would like to part with for sensible money then please let me know! Failing that, anything...

Sorry for the daft question 🤡 I have been mixing and keeping my groundbait in a large maggot type box. The main reasons for this are: it fits neatly in my rucksack, it comfortably holds enough groundbait for the length of sessions that I fish and at the end of the session it goes straight into...

I'm sure it's been asked a million times so I'm sorry 😂 I'd like a chair that's comfy, not too heavy and that I can nap in basically. Does such a thing exist?

Hi everyone, I'm going to ask this stupid question as feeding a swim with free offerings isn't something I'm skilled at, at all! I'm OK throwing a few freebie boilies in every 20 minutes/half hour, but often left feeling that i'm missing a trick by not feeding more in the way of loose...

What does everyone use for storage of long hook links? I'm currently using a gardener rig bin which as good as it is, is actually rather bulky and takes up a good chunk of space in the rucksack for something that takes 10 made up rigs. I'm thinking of getting something perhaps with little...

Hi all, Still not happy with the rod bag for my Free Spirit rods. When I got them I was all out focused on protection and having them in an enclosed bag. Having used the rods this weekend, getting them in and out was a bit of pain. I have tried the Korum Total Protection 2 rod holdall (great...

Hi all, great rod bag offering super protection, all the right external pockets - two to cover landing net/handle, storm poles and banksticks, plus a brolly attachment on the other side. Inside there are feeder/lead pockets and a sleeve for quiver tips. This rod bag has never seen the river...

Just thought I'd share some good news, these babies turned up today...!! :D

Hi guys, not sure if any interest in these lower end reels. I bought them for a couple of cheaper 11 foot rods I've bought, but have decided to put my existing Shimano 6000's on them (I initially thought they would be too big and heavy but they are fine). These are new boxed reels, pre loaded...

Brand new in packaging. RRP £69.99, I paid £60 for this beginning of December. Still in packaging. Retailer won't accept returns so I'll have to sell at a loss. I'll be honest, it's not suitable for me for the sole reason that I cannot fit all I want in the outside pocket. That aside, it's well...

Hi all, After advice on a good 2 rod sleeve that will offer complete protection for the rods and reels? Been using the Gardner 2 rod sling this year which has done its job, but has meant rods have been clattered next to bank sticks/landing net handle, scraped against foliage on the bank, bashed...

Hi everyone, Having just completed my first year of barbel fishing I am looking to upgrade to some better rods for next year. I have the opportunity to get some Free Spirit rods with considerable discount, and i'm specifically considering the Hi S model. This particular model seems to be only...
