Pallatrax GRIPZ Match Fishing Hooks - Pallatrax I've seen the odd babel angler mention the eyed Gripz hooks, but has anyone got/used the spade end version? What's the sizing like compared to something like the Drennan Wide Gape Match or Drennan Acolyte Gripper? How have you found them...

If anyone remembers the old Korum Multi-mat (a mat/bag combo with handles and a proper carrying strap), have you seen anything similar that's currently on the market? Mine is showing its' age now after years of abuse. It has served me well as hip/back padding when carrying chairs/seatboxes, wet...

Since the 13th of May I've been out most afternoons/evenings fishing a fair sized, deep, gravel pit. The stock level, of all types of fish, is pretty low. However, there are some good carp, bream and tench for the part of the world it's in. So far I've had seventeen tench and only a couple of...

Richmond & District Angling Society season tickets for the forthcoming season are now available through our website. Current and past members should note the loss of our existing stillwater and the gain of access to another, far better, alternative. Visitors to the area are welcome to join on a...

Anyone out there using the Wychwood Quickfold Specimen for barbel, any thoughts on it from a user? I've just got the small 22" version to replace a broken Drennan 22" Specialist and it seems to be excellent. Seriously considering buying the 30" for barbelling and roving carp fishing.

Forgive me for asking, I'm not doing a great deal on rivers at the moment. Is it still the closed season?;):D:rolleyes:

I've got my bits of old landing net handle, pole sections and hacksaw at the ready (I knew they'd come in handy one day!;):o). However, rather than hacking them to death blindly, has anyone done any experimentation on optimal lengths, opening angles, bung depths etc etc? What were your...

Anyone else out there that has three piece rods that they struggle to find rod sleeves for? Take standard three piece float rods with you when barbelling, three piece barbel rods or three piece carp rods, if you are that way inclined. End up faffing around with sleeves that are too long or...

Might pay to have a look at Bobco. They've just started their usual bank holiday 20% off sale.

There's something weird going on with Fox rods. When their range is current there tends not to be much positive comment on them. Very often they get cleared at rock bottom prices by the likes of Climax. Then, somewhere down the line, prices climb above and beyond the clearance price. Given...

Forgive me asking the question, but it's been an age since I've seen one of these offered for sale anywhere. What's the going rate for these rods at the moment?

I hate cold feet. I don't much like wearing wellies when fishing. I'm giving these a go and found a couple of places offering big discounts on what are pricey items. I wondered if they might be of interest to others. CLEARANCE LIST Sorel | Sorel Duck Boots at ASOS

Sonik Sk3 Pro Specialist Rods – Chapmans Angling No comment on the rod as I've done nothing with one beyond having a waggle of a pre-production proto-type. The price looks right for those on a budget though.

Three fishing related things that I've heard suggested are gimmicks that I firmly believe aren't. 1) Oval blanks (Aerocast). 2) Tri-Drag (front, rear and fightin'). 3) Cralusso floats (expensive but worth it). What have you encountered that was reported to be a gimmicky that you've found...

A possible new cheaper option for fans of the flip screen cameras.Samsung MV800 I suppose it'll depend on whether there's a remote or timer option though.

Using some old expanding pellets that you had lying around to stiffen up a groundbait feeder mix works damned well. Bit too well if truth be told.;):D:o

What's recommended and what's not? I'll be buying blind so would appreciate the nod as to what's good and what's not. The three I've found so far are Nash, Korda and Gardner. Thanks in advance.

I already have one of these but bought another as I'm using the original far more than I ever thought I would and it's excellent. I'm constantly swapping kit in and out of it, adding sleeves and switching between the two available capacities. Greys Platinum Expander Quiver. Very good quality...

Tried it and finally done it, admittedly with a float rather than a leger. I'm pleased to have done it but it's not something I'll be looking to attempt again. I can appreciate the fantastic control of the pace of a stick float that a pin gives. Other than that, everything is negative in...
