    Hi Stephen, I bought one last week off eBay as I am punt fishing next week and can't borrow one this time. When doing my research I did see there are some that come in ....yes sorry camo. Typical ones are 150 newtons bouyancy which is rated 40kg plus weight support - which is I gather an...

    Buy cheap buy twice - is this a problem?

    Hi Dave, Good point. Before the supermarket came along I was having continually to spell out my surname, so there are some advantages. I also used to have a large black dog (Giant Schnauzer) which bearing in mind the logo, was a double coincidence. Looking at Anthony's reply, I fall into all...

    Buy cheap buy twice - is this a problem?

    Just caught a comment on the landing net handle post which raised a question. Back in 2004ish I was on a BFW fish-in on the Teme where I met a fellow BFWer who I still fish with. He introduced me to the Okuma Interceptor 30BF. A cheap (£20) baitrunner. It came with two spools and an...

    Great Angling Mysteries

    Why do angling articles contradict each other and themselves. Eg one 'expert' says use same stick/bag bait as the one your hook. Another says use something different. One says use a brightly coloured bait to stand out and peek curiousity, another says don't as it will look suspicious. And...

    What do you look for in a rucksack?

    Hi jw, long time. Glad to see you are still posting and hope you are well. I will give you a call over the next few weeks if your mobile number is the same. I see the new Korum ITM has these straps so hopefully all I need to do is get some and thread them on? Did toy with the idea of getting...

    What do you look for in a rucksack?

    A couple of years ago I bought one of the original Korum ITMs. I find it ideal bar two points (which may be sorted with the newest version). 1. It really needs a chest fixing for the arms straps (which my old Fox one had) ie a male/female clip at chest level in addiiton to the one at waist...

    Hook slipping

    I was tenching two weeks ago with Dave Thompson (used to be OTMO on the old BFW) and we were at Frencham Great Pond. Now if anyof you have fished it, you will know it is best tackled with waders to assist with the long casts needed to get to deeper water. Well we were both up to our knees...

    hampshire avon.

    Welcome Neil, 44 looks and no answers! Well I thought I would start you off with a quick response. I have fished the Stour a few times so take a selection and use what ever the conditions dictate. You won't have to cast a huge distance and I would imagine the flow is low in the current hot...
