For interest - If you were to fish in a group, say of three people would your preference be to be upstream, downstream or in the middle?
I've got my own opinion, but I'm interested to hear what people have experienced :)
Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on the ATTa versus the TLB+?
Or general feedback on the ATTa?
They seem pretty equivalent, but I was wondering if the newer ones would be considered an upgrade?
I'm going to roll some baits and wondering what peoples go to flavours are (if you are happy to share!)
I'm currently thinking of getting a couple of flavours from John Baker to try. I've seen that Chicken Tikka has been mentioned on here before.
I'm wondering what reel size people typically use on the 2 3/4 Basia?
I currently have Okuma INC-6000 on them, but having used the 4000 Thunnus on my lighter rods, I'm thinking that I might go for a baitrunner instead.
I think that the 4000 would probably be fine on them, but the thought of the...
I'm thinking about getting a float rod - Inspired by an upcoming trip to Hay-on-Wye (which will rule out full custom)
I'm likely to be doing some wading and trotting and I don't really have a suitable rod for this.
I'm looking for something that will be a good all rounder - Ideally capable of...
I'm looking for some suggestions for accommodation for a long weekend.
Can be anywhere in the country as long as it is picturesque
Must allow dogs
River withing walking distance preferred
Access to areas where wading can be done, either coarse fishing or game fishing
I've had a look at the...
I'm thinking about getting some torrix built up and I want to specify the rings properly. I'm currently thinking of fuji K series alconite with double legged on the butt section and single legged on the top section. Are they anti-frap?
Anything else that I should consider (what size for the...
I'm interested to know what everyone's favourite hooks are and in what sizes...
I'll kick things off with the drennan wide gape specialist in a size 8 or 6. I use them because they are cheap and sharp (and I'm one of those things too...). They are quite small for their quotes size
Looking for...
I've got a short break planned before the end of the river season and I'm hoping for a little local knowledge on which club might be the best to join for some fishing near to Balderton where the accommodation is.
Day only fishing is fine.
For those with experience, what is the ultimate setup for a relatively long walk? I'm thinking mats, rucksacks, nets etc
I was asking myself this as I was struggling back to the van yesterday, so thought I would throw it out there!
I had gone for an unhooking mat/sling rather than a rucksack...
Hi all, I'm thinking about getting a pod and have just seen the defiant MPS river pod - Has anyone tried one yet?
Defiant River Pod
There is also the Chris Brown one which looks a lot more chunky...
Chris Brown Pod
Any other ones to consider?
Hi all,
I've been lurking for a long time and finally joined!
I am considering a pair of custom chimera 3 rods for the occasional trip to the Severn around Bridgnorth (and floater fishing for carp). I was tempted with Basias, but a bit of a Harrison fan at heart!
Just wondering which...
