    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    One of the best things I ever did was get a snowbee xl folding salmon net and switch out the mesh for that of small/medium triangle carp net. Folds to nothing and is lovely and strong and has a built in sensible length handle. I have a bag the size of a toaster that contains all the gear I need...

    Touch legering and rolling baits

    I did exactly that. After spending years sat being a pair of torrix’s pointing at the sky I had a whole season using nothing but my four piece Harrison with a modified tip section to make it a quiver tip coupled with the tiny daiwa 750ss. Since starting the wandering lifestyle with 3ssg link...

    Three piece barbel rods

    another vote for this excellent rod. I use it for all my barbel fishing. Ive also managed to butcher another rod to give myself an alternative top section that has a quivertip...... game changer

    Polarized sunglasses

    Maui Jim's were originally aimed at golfers, a lot of the designs are available with a small reading segment in the bottom of the lens.... Perfect for us older farts who need a bit of help up close...

    Prescription Polarised Sunglasses

    Hi! If you want prescription maui Jim's I am your man. Happy to do them at cost price plus postage for members which is around half retail. (they still ain't 'cheap' even at cost price but they are the best polarised lenses around in my opinion and I've tried everything there is! I'm also...

    Vehicle of choice

    I've got a 8 year old range rover, never gets stuck in the mud. I can fit the entire contents of my house in it and it will pull my boat effortlessly down to the south coast whilst averaging over 30mpg. The only downside is it's on nearly 100k now and is bound to start costing me a fortune to...

    Question for the braid users out there

    Flood Conditions...

    I find my 1.5lb Avon and an ounce or so of lead more than adequate. I cast just into the flow straight in front of me or slightly upstream, feel the lead down and then let out a few feet of extra line to form a bow. The flow pins the line down nicely, the barbel pick up my lump of meat, the...

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    Whereas I don't support this type of behaviour, we shouldn't loose sight of the fact that we are all out there putting hooks into fishes mouths, if we were THAT concerned about fish welfare, none of us would be angling...... Martin has made an excellent contribution to angling over the years, I...

    Combi rig knot.

    I also use a double grinner. 4 turns on the fluorocarbon side and 5 on the braid. As long as you moisten it - never fails* *disclaimer.... I dont catch many fish, they're there may be others on here who have had it fail on leviathans
