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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

Hi Justin,
Was a more prolific poster back in the old days but just looked in and will add my experience. I bought a Drennen ss back in 2005ish. Still looks like new and l love the feel although I do look after my gear. However it is now time to strip and service the bush...
Hi Mike,
I am well thank you and as usual you always have a great post. Thanks to all who joined in too.
The tench are still there although the biggest I had was just under 6lb, Dave had one 6-4 and we had bigger two years ago. My real success of the day was four perch of which the...
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...
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...
Hi
I am contemplating some light sea fishing - bass, mackerel etc may be boat maybe beach.
I bought a cheap 2.5 t/c carp rod and have used it from a beach last year with ten pound big game line. Is this too light and can someone advise me on what would be suitable.
Cheers
Chris
