    Deeper pro +

    Treated myself to one of these for Christmas and was wondering if any of you have one how do you hold your phone while using it? Iv seen on a pic you can attach your phone to your rod but I’d be too worried about it flying off on the cast into the river. I was wondering if there is any bankstick...

    New rod advice

    I got a mate of mine into fishing a few years back and I brought him a cheap rod off eBay just to get him started. He’s just moved house from Brum to basically right on the banks of the middle Severn so he’s going to be doing a lot more fishing. His mom messaged me yesterday to say she wants to...

    Boreley angling club

    Does anyone know anything about this club. Had a google and nothing really comes up about it. Is it even a club or is it just that one stretch?

    Hook sharpener

    What hook sharpeners does anyone use? Iv got a Berkeley battery powered one Iv had for donkeys years which seems to be getting harder to use these days. Don’t know if it’s knackered or what. Isn’t the easiest thing to use anyway as you have to put the hook in the hole and kind of wiggle it about...

    Spam (from hijacked thread)

    I know the feeling. Brought 24 tins of hot and spicy spam today ready. Love the peg that photo was taken in. Hit the right spot and you hardly get chance to put the rod down before a take. Can’t wait to get back there

    Bfw rods

    Could anyone who has purchased tell me please if you have to pay fully up front or can you do half on order half whe complete? My mate had some custom barbel rods built and that was how he payed. I know it isn't any cheaper but would seem cheaper as your not paying one big lump sum. Cheers Jon

    Best winter baits.

    Sorry if threads been done to death in past but what baits do you guys go for over the winter? I don't fish a great deal for barbel over the winter because I'm a funny one when it comes to being hot/cold so generally stay in the comforts of my home in the winter. Used to fish for carp in...

    New net needed

    Hi all. I'm sure there was a thread on here not long back about nets but I can't seem to find it so was wondering if anyone can recommend a good pan net. I'm not bothered about it being a folding net just want one big enough to be safe but not ridiculously huge. Thanks Jon

    Ill barbel

    I hooked into a fish tonight and literally just reeled it in as if it was a 4oz roach. When I came to net it I saw it was a barbel which by the length of it should of been around the 5lb mark but it was incredibly thin. After it's head it's body just went in and it was just like it was hollow...
