Just after some recommendations for decent, well made auger/ PowerPoint type banksticks.
The old Fox cam lock/ power point sticks were perfect for what I want but as with everything in fishing they’ve long been discontinued andhave brought out similar but not as well made versions. I bought the...
A question for those who take water temp readings and base their fishing trips around them?
I’m talking about smaller rivers here, not the Trent, Thames or seven etc. with rising air temps incoming (double figure daytime) from tomorrow, how soon would you feel confident of the barbel getting...
As above what’s your tactics in this situation? Semi fixed or running? Light or heavy lead? The swim I’m talking about has the flow coming from right to left. Also to the right is the point of an island so the river is split coming down past the island and then joins just to my right. I’d be...

In the market for a new rod. 11ft 1.75 either a torrix or FS Barbel seeker.. was looking at buying new or having one built but just seeing if on the off chance someone is selling either.
Message me if you have anything of interest.
Thanks, Neil.
In the market for some new footwear as we move into winter. For the last 6/7 years I’ve had a pair of walking/ hiking boots (Scarpa terra gtx) and in hiking boots terms I’ve loved them.. seriously comfortable, 100% waterproof and excellent quality that have lasted much longer than I could have...
Does any tackle company do a single rod sleeve that holds a 5000 size reel not big pit size. With a pocket or 2 for bank sticks and net handle. Want a sleeve for protection due to brambles etc. small river one rod fishing but with a bit of added protection?
As above, I’m looking for some info on the older Drennan Avon Rods, I’m sure a few of you will be more in the know than me.
Forgetting the more recent specialist twin tip duos and even the series 7 Avon/ quiver rods. Prior to those I have a pair of super specialist Duo rods that I think were...
Just wanted to see people’s thoughts on this..
I’ve caught a fair amount of barbel on my local river over the years, always on the same method, running lead, rod on the rest and wait for it to “3ft twitch” and away. That’s becoming less and less the case now and the majority I’ve had this...
Hi, hoping to get some advice/ info on club tickets on the Mole or wey in Surrey. Looking to get 1 or 2 tickets for the coming season after mainly just fishing my local river Wandle and occasionally the Thames for the last few years I fancy a change.
I’ve looked at the byfleet ticket (waiting...
