Hi Tim, pm sent.

Superb reels, an absolute steal lads!!!

Great price indeed Bob! Brilliant rods!

Hi Gerry, I would like to echo the advice given in the thread posts. Over the last two years I have bought 4 gts via ebay (6010s). No problems whatsoever, and the decal advice is the giveaway. There are a couple of 510's up at the mo, and as they are not new and sexy...cough :) the prices...

Looking forward to your "post waggle" test on the Guru rods Jon, very interested to hear your views.

Iv'e been using it for chub over the past couple of weeks Derek, they hammer it! It stays on the hook really well, not as pungent as the stinky garlic spam! I also look forward to whacking a lump out for the barbel next season.

In support of Rob's post... Chas Burns is a superb rod builder, and a true gent!!!

Same as you Mark! I power twin tip.

Drennan Sink Braid on short hook links. Gardner Ultra Green Skin coated for longer links or long chucks.

Hi Rich, These are far from cheap, but made for the job, I have had mine three years, its superb and designed for lower clearing of nettles and balsam. Fiskars XA3 on ebay for around £35. Super light and balanced. Hardly any extra weight to pop in the rod bag. Machetes are also I read going...

Try to improve my angling on all and every level. To try and evolve a little on bait and application, use my NOGGIN more! :) Fish more short sessions (and more long sessions :) ). Fish more roving sessions. Support all my angling buddies in every way I can, give them lifts, help them to get...

Hi Ian, there is a 6000 GTB going for spares or repairs on ebay, might be worth a punt!

BROOMSTICKS!.....BROOMSTICKS!!!! Prepare for the storm Terry! ( I am a Harrison fan boy....and the only Free Spirit rod I own is about as much use as Harry Potter's wand in a kids toy shop!)

Right fella's, Alongside the old adages like "Red at night...shepherds delight...Red at morning...shepherds warning" giving a foolproof way of reading the weather (or not!). How does the old adage "Barbel wont munch your boilies or pellets after the closed season until they get used to them...

Your smile shall be bigger than the one on your profile pici Alan!!!! :)

It is with great pleasure I can announce the resurrection of the LEGENDRY BFW I-Powers has begun! They could well have been lost forever, as BFW rod building "guru" Bob Gill put down his pot of rod varnish, multi coloured whippings, and amazing skills for the last time....but....BUT!!! I have...

You're like some old "rod building Guru" living in a cave somewhere Bob! We should have organised a BFW posse, kidnapped you, and held you to ransom until the rods of our choice were built! Top craftsman and rod building legend! :)

Come on now! CHAMP (Bob ) The pressure from your BFW fans is growing.... I think you should enter the ring just one more time for a shot at the title for us all :)

Bob.... I have a few hundred quid with your name on it as well Bob :) You should produce a "Limited Edition Bob Gill Barbel Range" Your rods are magic....simply the best!!!!

That is an excellent question Mike! The way the bream are showing in the Ouse (and to a lesser degree the Nidd) this season, a very good question indeed! :)
