Or lack of, should I say. So I’ve lost both the male toggle clips from my ruckbag. Annoying as I do use the straps on the outside of this bag. I emailed Korum in the vain hope that they’d be like, “Well, Mr Clarke, you’ve bought 4 rods, several pieces of luggage, nets, handles, banks sticks and...

I need to re-whip a couple of guides to a rod. I’ve only ever worked on cane previously so have no experience of the two-pack epoxy finishes. I think I recall Flexcoat being advised to me before but Hopkins don’t seem to carry that any more. Any ideas on what I should use, without having to buy...

So I’m after the above mentioned size reel but I’m so out of the loop with new kit that I know nowt about what‘s about. Most of my fishing is either c’pin, or if I am fishing fixed I have my dearly beloved 3 x Shimmy Stradic x,’s. But I’m after something dedicated for float fishing that I can...

Chaps and chappesses, apologies for starting another which thread, but given that I own far more tackle than any one man should rightfully own, I have long since stopped looking at tackle retailer add and website. Nevertheless, I find myself needed a new brolly but have a few specific...

A long shot, I know, but my brother is after one of the above. If anyone has one they don't mind parting with, preferably in good nick he might be interested.

This, from Bedford today.... https://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/news/environment/it-s-a-right-kettle-of-fish-1-8390809 ...reminds me why I really haven’t bothered fishing much these past few years.

So it's getting near Christmas and my other half has asked me for a few pointers. I've never had a decent pair of wellies, having just used good walking boots previously, but now I think I'd like to get a pair. Knowing nothing, but with the faint recollection that Muckboots seem to be well...

Chaps, does anyone know what the current state of Bedford angling society is? Their website is no longer live and there's nothing else out there in the internet ether that suggests they are still a current entity. Seems strange that a club or society would let their web hosting elapse, given...

Anyone used or seen one of these? Chub Superlite Chair CARP PIKE FISHING CHAIR WATCH VIDEO ON THIS PAGE BRAND NEW | eBay Got some tackle shop vouchers I need to use and fancy a mega-light chair for when roving. Just didn't want to part with them if it's as good as useless. One last...

Not sure if it's a good deal or not; I got one anyhow. Nice and light, quite well made and very versatile. Obviously a cheapo rip-off of the Joby Gorrilla pod. http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_21313.htm

Just a thought I had. Would one be viable on this site? I know there is one on the site with a similar name to this. I have had a look over there but it's not really my bag, just seems to be people calling each other names and that. Might be good on here though.

Mine was back in the summer. I intended to fish the Great Ouse at a section near home but on arrival I found the river very low, very weedy and gin-clear, all on a very hot midsummers day. My hopes of catching anything quickly evaporated and I decided to head off down to some near-by gravel pits...

Just a reminder chaps.

Any ideas where or who makes a stalker seat (the padded foam fold up type) anymore. I have the Shimano Stalker and a mate of mine's trying to get one but no joy. Even the prologic one seems to be hard to find now. Cheers, Haydn

Gentlemen, I have been using these things for a few seasons and have found them to be indispensible. They are the most useful non-fishing fishing item I have and can be used for a number of purposes. They weigh nothing and cost pennies. They are called twisty ties. They are flexible wire...

Some time about two and half years ago I managed to bury a size 8 barbed hook in my thumb. Like the big girl's blouse that I am I had to go to Bedford A&E, to have it removed. What followed was a few hours of friday night "entertainment", sitting with all the dregs - **** heads, winos, druggies...

Can't think who makes them but I used to have some in-liners that could be removed from the line without breaking down. I liked them because you could break a rod down without fear of the lead damaging the rod in it's holdall. The leads themselves have a slot cut in the side that when you slide...

Used them for the first time out on a small lake in Rickmansworth over the weekend. I picked 'em up on Ebay on the cheap, a good conditioned used pair for just under a ton. I've gotta say I'm well chuffed. Great rods for the money and very versatile too. After using Grey's prodigies for small...

Chapman Or Agutters Blanks? If you were building a rod which would you go for? I would like to have a crack at making an 11' barbel rod, of which agutters make a blank for; chapmans don't. So clearly I have no choice but to use Agutters. But what's troubling me is that Chapmans appear to be...

Has anyone else noticed that the prices on second hand and vintage tackle seem to be on the march? It seems like only a short while ago that MK IV rods were fetching between £150 to £200 for good'ns. Just watched one tick down, that I naively thought I might nick for just over a oner, fetch...
