    Daiwa spectron sm2 17 20

    I'm yet to catch a barbel on mine but I've had chub to 3lb on the 17 and 20 foot length and it's a lovely action! Feels very powerful 😎

    New floats available

    My floats arrived this morning Richard. They look awesome with the thick tip and wire stem 😍..Don't think I'll have any issues spotting them down the swim 😄 Many Thanks Dave

    Bit of a 'back to basics' kinda question....

    I've mapped out sections of my local River Ouse with my Deeper and saved a lot of time. Btw I would recommend attaching it to a wire trace as ive had a pike or 2 snatch at it while I retrieve it! It's certainly been interesting to find out why certain swims produce in specific area's, and I've...

    Touch legering and rolling baits

    I'll second that Mark! Beautiful rod and action when hooked into a good size barbel.

    Wading/Trotting Net

    After improvising for a while using a wide mesh spoon net attached to a bankstick with a carabena clipping it to a belt i decided to buy a proper one and opted for the Korum Glide 26" wading net. Its attached to a cord with a magnet at the end which attaches to the back of my waistcoat or waders.

    Wanted-Cadence 15ft #3 float rod could swap for diawa connoisseur

    That's great to hear Josh as I have the 16 foot #2, but only had fish up to 3.5lb so far. I noticed when I started using it how light the tip section is considering it's designed for chub and barbel. That's given me the confidence I need now to push it a little more 😉

    Search for the ultimate roving luggage setup

    I've just 'downsized' and bought a korum progress roversack 25L. I can fit everything in i need for the short sessions i usually have, and the legs from my Korum compact accessory chair fit on the side.

    Well done with the December Barbel Barbel Alan Alan....I think I've developed a stutter! 😳🤣

    SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

    I was surprised how similar your Trevor West 11 foot 1.75 felt like my Torrix! ...And the Green colour in that sunlight was 'almost' as stunning as my burgundy Torrix 😍😆

    SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

    I know I've got 'Whiskers' but that's taking it to a new level of crazy 😵 🤣

    SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

    Alan had a waggle of my rod in my back garden 😲🤣

    SORTED! 11’ Torrix 1.75

    ..Did I do a good enough impression of an angry double figure barbel then?? 🤪🤣

    Light weight chair

    The Trakker Levelite Transformer Chair is without doubt the most comfortable and light weight chair I've owned..

    Specialist Videos

    Regarding youtube videos on Barbel Fishing I'd say there are probably more "Carbelling" style videos out there than the 'Traditionalist' way of fishing for barbel. If you are on much larger rivers such as the Tidal Trent then Carbelling certainly has its place I'd say , but on a small snaggy...

    Whip round

    Done 😉 I've been a member for a fair few years and remember the old bfw with some of the regular characters back then. I do think it's better now with far less 'Bickering' 😁

    Seems a worrying bit of news .

    My water bill has almost doubled too and I'm certainly not using double the amount! I did a 'double take' when I looked at the bill!! 😳
