Just a heads up guys there is a Daiwa Spectron on E-Bay £150. If its like mine (I've the 13/15' Spectron) It the best barbel float rod you can get. You need to ask them about the line rating should be 2lb to 8lb if it is that model, anyone that asks about float rods for barbel, its ideal. It's...

Guys. Anyone fished the Trent at the week-end of today please? Just wondered what the water height was like please? Thinking about a days float fishing in the coming week. Thanks all. Richard.

Quick one this. Is it the high oil pellets you want in winter time, or the other type please. And what are the best available these days please guys.

I've not fished the river Trent since we shut down in March. Many have told me the river has not fished well for barbel this season, is that right. How have others done this season, is it the fishing or weather?

Guys just wanted to ask about this area and the tides. Is it reasonably safe to fish this tidal beat please? Are there platform swims, or just cut out from the bank, I'm just getting a bit unsteady on my feet nowadays that's all, I have to take a bit of care. Is the bottom rocky like the rest of...

There is no doubt meat still catches a lot of Barbel and Chub. I just wondered if anyone fishes it in the bait anymore? When I float-fish I always fish it in the meat, that allows me to fish it along the bottom. It still gets caught up at times, but not as often as on a hair. I've never found a...

Just wondered if any kind sole would give me a heads up? I'd like to do some summer hemp and caster fishing for big roach, (if we ever get back) does anyone know of places on the Trent that throw up some better roach? I know most of us fish for barbel in the summer, but i do fancy a big roach to...

Just wondered what you guys use in flood and if it works well? I'm going to try the Trent soon (once its down a bit more) with meat and worms, feeder too. Thanks all.

Just wonder if anyone using a helicopter rig for river barbel? I'm expecting most use a form of running rig, if so is it a simple set up, or do you double the line for the weight, twizzle boom maybe? Just interested, I fancy to rotary for several reasons, just a simple one.?

I brought some Daiwa Longbow DF floater rods some time ago. I must say the action is light and quick with a nice soft tip, they are making ideal barbel rods. They will not cast 4oz, but I can lob them, 2.25lb test, worth a thought guys, I'm really pleased with them.

Two points about the combi. Is it worth having the braided section a little longer, like 3''. And I'm thinking you could use a swivel to join the two lines, and then shrink tube over the top? Just random thoughts while it's raining outside?

Would like to find a two rod rest for the river Trent. The banks are too hard most o the time, so a pod style version would be ideal really. Any thoughts, not too expensive please?

Anyone know who owns the water near the Lord Ted pub, the A46 goes over it. Upstream to the Marina and down to the Power station please?

Does anyone have any feedback on this coat please? Is it warm and waterproof, and does it come true to size.

Anyone know of a good short quiver rod 9' to 11' that would take line 6lb to 8lb B/S. Its for small river close quarter rod to fish chub and barbel. Thanks. Rich.

Hello. I'm looking at buying a nice little 501 with the anti reverse removed. Is this a good idea, it's £55 from a person I know, but the reel is only seen in pictures. For the money I'm thinking I cannot go too far wrong. Quick reply please? Rich.

Just wondered if anyone had used this in lower breaking strains like 4-6lb please? Feedback?

Where I live these is a proposal for 4,000 new homes over then next few years. Now its a simple question, but rarely asked. WHERE WILL THE WATER COME FROM for all those people to wash, toilet, car washing etc. The local river is the Witham that suffers with low levels in summer anyway. Lets say...

I don't take asking people for swim location likely, but I've been around the forum some years now and hope you some know and trust me? I've managed to get a ticket of the Notts Federation and have the Viaduct beat on the book. I'm not after barbel this season, but would like a big chub. So if...

Does anyone know where you can buy this at a reasonable price, please? I've found some, but boy it's expensive. Thanks all.
