A legend. Sight fishing with a Speedia. Glory days. I have so many memories. But not for here.

The isotope slot looks to be 12mm long. Can anyone advise which isotopes I need? Anyone use these?

Much food for thought. Doing my research now based on comments, but the 4000 OC does look nice; compact and good build quality.

I sold both my 5010's a number of years ago but now want to replace them with a good quality smaller baitrunners. Shimano now seem to have so much it's hard to work out what's what! I'm trying to find a pair of old 5010's, but what do you chaps think is compatible nowadays for a nice smaller...

Any type of bolt or fixed lead (inc. safety rigs) banned on my water. Must be completely free running. Should be the norm.

Pork luncheon meat impossible to find in my local Halal mini-mart. I'm glad I never asked for it.

I think it's best not to know. Ignorance is bliss.

Or halibut, cheese or pepperami!! Maybe chicken luncheon could be the new super bait!!

On the same subject. Sort of!! I got a load of tins of 'Luncheon Meat' but then discovered that it was 'poultry' based and not pork. Has anyone used chicken based meat and had any joy? Does it need to be pork that barbel like, or do they like a bit of chicken as well? I really don't fancy...

So it's either a size 2 or 10!! I guess you can go smaller on a hair. It's just taste and fancy I think. Too much choice these days!

Thanks. Any merit is using curved shank hooks? I guess we have to be aware that carp hooks are used in still waters. Just seems so confusing these days. If it aint bust then don't fix it I suppose!!

Back to barbel after a bit of time out. Things seemed to have moved on a bit and it appears hooks getting smaller? If I was using meat on a hair on a narrow slow moving little river, what pattern of hook would you all using these days? (Running rig btw).

Looks what I'm after. I use pins most of the time so not worried about reel space. I think I'm going to treat myself. Thanks for the info Dave.

Hi. First post for many years but getting back into barbel after a long break. Is there a definitive fully zipped / padded rod holdall that fits 2 made up carp rods, brolly, landing net pole and net, and bank sticks. Looking at the Greys prodigy but just want to make sure this isn't a little bit...

That's a half decent fish these days.
