    Pair of Harrison Chimera 2 1.75lb rods. As new.

    Help settle an argument

    Make the complaint formal and keep going until you get an answer. People like this do the EA a lot of damage. If you get nowhere threaten to contact your MP - that usually makes the EA pay attention!

    Lightweight umbrella

    I will try and find out more. Adam Firth of Korum told me last week, so I will check with him.

    Lightweight umbrella

    Even better is the new Korum brolly is quite a bit lighter - I think about 1.5kg. Should be in the shops fairly soon.

    Specimen and Specialist Groups

    I think the closest a few on TFW got to classic car was Austin Allegro or Morris Marina!

    Specimen and Specialist Groups

    Too right about TFW Simon, apart from ooks I don’t think fishing got much of a mention.

    New Hinders Elips.

    Elliptical pellets were produced because they use less energy when drying them compared to cylindrical pellets. Sounds great but they have one major drawback which is they flutter when sinking through the water and fish find them harder to catch and as a result more go to waste through the...

    New Korum river feeders

    Might be! Never hidden it. User name came up as David as that’s the name on my credit card. If I knew how to change it to Dai I would! Regardless of being backed by Korum I like the Combi feeders. Not used the river ones yet but think the idea is reasonable.

    New Korum river feeders

    I love the combi-feeders. I’ve used them extensively for tench fining for two seasons and only once have I lost the caps. May be different in flowing rivers but I doubt it as Ade Kiddell designed them for barbel and he tells me he has no problem with them on the Lower Trent.

    River Sow

    I think you’ll find that’s the Sowe near Coventry! The Sow in Staffordshire once held a small pocket of big barbel but they are long gone. Izaak Walton may do day tickets - if not a club book is fairly cheap - if you fancy battling the odds! I’m sure there is the odd one about but...

    Korum Hooks.

    I think the Specimen are stronger, possibly as not so wide gape.

    Korum Hooks.

    I really like the Korum Specimen hooks - a bit stronger than the Power. In the last two seasons I’ve had lots of big tench in weedy swims on them without any problems. I find they stay a lot sharper than most hooks when used in gravelly swims. I keep trying to get Korum to bring out a Power Plus...

    What colour maggott?

    Bladder cancer is pretty rare compared to other cancers and I seem to recall that when a couple of anglers succumbed and doctors found out they spent years with orange fingers the link was made. As with many links proving causation is extremely difficult. I know I would steer well clear of...

    What colour maggott?

    Clive Smith died of bladder cancer which is not linked to smoking. As for chrysodine, I was told by a chemist many years ago its chemical structure is typical of many carcinogenic chemicals.

    Barbel framed print - john searl - rare - ltd - edtion -

    A man selling a barbel print puts it on a barbel forum thereby bringing it to the attention of members who presumably like barbel and might be interested in the print and might not have been aware of the print’s availability otherwise. The result is people questioning his motives, quality of...
