    Happy New Year and .....

    I hope 'my' rivers (Severn & Teme especially), and all 'your' rivers, have a better and cleaner time of it in 2025 than they did in 2024. All the very best to you all.

    Gamma POLYFLEX High Performance Copolymer Line

    Has anyone on here had any experience of using this line (as sold by Pallatrax). I'm interested in the abrasion resistance vs limpness/softness perspective, as most/all lines with high abrasion resistance tend to be quite 'springy'. HAPPY CHRISTMAS, ONE & ALL!!

    Korum 2.5lb/12ft rods

    I'm thinking of getting a pair of these rods for when there's 3-5m of extra water on the Lower Severn, I'm over my ankles in mud, and 4-6oz may be necessary to hold bottom. Any thoughts on these?? I've never even handled any Korum rod so, to anyone that owns one of these rods ... how wide is the...

    Freespirit Hi S SU 12ft/1.75lb pimped rod (pair)

    Hi All, I've had a pair of these put aside for selling next close season (when the market's better), but if there's any fully paid up member on here that's thinking about buying themselves a pair for Xmas .... they'll know that you can't buy a pair new for under £730. Plus you'll know that...

    Cheapo Spoppering Rod

    Hi All, for the last few years I've been using a manky old carp rod**, cut down from 12ft to 7ft (test curve >30lb 😂 ) for my spoppering. It was unwieldy, very heavy, and had the 'action' of a Trigger's broom handle. But for this season I've splashed out on a 6ft, 3lb t/c 'Spoppering Rod'. It's...

    Savage Gear boot foot waist waders

    Hi All, got a pair of above (#9) that I bought a few years ago, wore them once, then went back to neoprenes (got cold knees 😂 ). Reckon they must have stopped selling them now as I can't find a single advert for them except for the denim version, and I'm wondering what would be a fair price to...

    Palltrax Whisker Sticks .... waaah???

    Just been having a trawl through my bait fridge and found an unopened pack of shelf-life Palltrax Whisker Sticks (Elixir 6) Can't remember when I bought them but it must have been many years ago, and bag's unopened so I know I've never used them. Anyone had any experience with these?? (I...

    John Wilson Masterline 11ft twin tip Avon/Quiver

    Hi y'all ... I've decided to thin my rod collection down a bit as there's some rods that I've hardly ever used/not used for years. I'll be selling a Nash Tri-tip (as I've got 5!!), a pair of F/S Hi-S BW (only seen 4hrs on the bank as I've stopped fishing the Lower) and a J.W Avon. Unfortunately...

    NOW SOLD FISHING BOOKS ... to be also listed elsewhere from 19/01

    Hi All, during my 'decluttering for dogs' 😁 I decided to get rid of my small collection of fishing books. I initially intended to just give them straight to my local dog charity (Far Forest Dog Rescue, which has a shop in Kidderminster as well as kennels etc at Far Forest), but they won't get...

    6010 vs. 6000 OC

    Hi All, I know the 'which Shimmy' thing has been done to death but ... I've never seen a comparison drawn between the relatively new 6000OC and the 'old workhorse' 6010/6010GT. Has any of you got/use both and so in a position to compare/contrast? I'm thinking about size/weight/cranking...
