All Keith ever put on his rods was furniture polish, Mr sheen/pledge. Doing this a couple of times a year is all you need along with the odd rap on the rod butt when it's raining. His diaflash still has the rings it was supplied with as well. They haven't been changed, I just checked it.

That's the one. Mine is 20x16 inches and around 4 foot long.

The tube above is a fox pike tube, I have one. If you want a tube for barbel find a framed one, far less chance of the fabric closing in on the fish. Something along the lines of the original et pike tube or better still one of the copies of of a queenford retention sack. I got one new from...

Was weighed and and witnessed by Dave and myself. Dave is pretty sure it was the same fish he lost last year!.

Keith's ramblings on his and Mike's prebaiting. https://barbel.co.uk/site/vbulletin/forum/barbel-talk/7721-ever-thought-pre-baiting.html

I had one and landed barbel to a little over 15lb on it without to much trouble. It will be fine if you have some room but not if you need to stop them reaching snags. Will be fine for your home river but won't be great for long trotting on the Wye, not tippy enough for that. If you get one...

Looking for the above. If you have one gathering dust in the back of the shed drop me a pm. Cheers

Mark is spot on with his answer. Knowing where Dave is fishing it happens all the time on there. You will land the odd one if the hook finds the pectoral fin, but most just bump off.

Mark i can assure you lots of the barbel there have been caught on berry, Keith and i used to fish hemp and berry for the roach. We caught more than our fair share!. To give the roach a chance you have to feed twice each put in, first heavy for the barbel to follow then lighter for the roach to...

The 13 footer is fine for that bit of river. But it's not the one if you are looking to fish for doubles, go for 12'9.

Hi all. If anyone who can't make the funeral would like to make a donation in honour of Keith to the families chosen charity, The British heart foundation. A just giving page has been set up...

Lads I can confirm that todays chocolate was shared and it was a rather large bar. It was the second best thing of the day, bacon rolls came first:)

Simon Only saying what i saw with my own eyes when i stood with the chap in question he may of gone into Ron's water when i wasn't with him true, but he was fishing a short trot when i was with him. Whats with the big emphasis on the if in your last post, are you casting aspersions on my...

Simon why don't you do us all a favour and keep your opinions to yourself, you clearly have an issue with light line fishing as a crime against barbel even though went done in the right conditions it is absolutely fine. Do you see us doing it when the water is the temp high and when the oxygen...
