    I see the price of grub has gone up

    Maggot prices will be going up. Mostly due to fuel and electricity cost. Also cost and difficulty in getting meat is making it hard for farms. A couple have recently closed down, so expect shortages.

    waterproofing jackets

    Diver Daves repel for me too. Water just beads off, read the instructions a couple of things to be aware of. Top bloke too if you need breathable waders. Dave

    On my third Stanley 1.9 litre flask. lifetime warranty, they keep replacing them . After around nine years the outside of flask gets warm, so cold coffee. Never quibble about replacement.

    Very difficult on a forum to protect your brand and who posts on there Shimano, Harrison etc must owe this site thousands in product placement and Shimano still dont make a 5000 size baitrunner! Maybe we should all email bait tech and get them to put a link to this fine site on their web site...

    Ebay madness

    Surely someone paying over the odds at an auction does not make the vendor a "pirate"? I have two, but knowing my luck they wouldn't reach such heights. dave

    landing net

    I like the idea of the folding wychwood its new out I think as no one seems to have stock. still using my Leslie insight net, heavy but sturdy with a deep net for resting fish. trying to cut my kit down a bit so a lighter folder would be handy. I carry way too much kit:o dave

    Reels

    Had a Suveran 3000, nice reel but the spool was a bit too narrow for my liking. Best drag ever but expensive. secondhand you get your money back and a bit now! I like my Daiwa 4000z baitrunners. Nice wide spool, quick fold handle and good price. If you dont want a baitrunner the new Aero...

    Korum 'Fishing Made Easy' DVD .

    tut tut indeed, first thing I spotted on their rules list! maybe thing were getting a bit desperate during filming, usually the way when cameras are involved. I don't find two rods help at all, always done better concentrating on one. dave I bet it was a genuine mistake, two people spotted...

    "Our" Governments always seem to cherry pick the E.U. legislation that suits them at any particular moment. Let's hope not this time.... dave
