    Book inspiration

    It’s a great book, much of it may be lost on those who don’t know the Ouse stretches written about but for those that do it’s a lovely reminisce

    Footwear Advice

    Agree on merrells, good quality and last well if regularly cleaned and treated with nikwax spray after a good soaking…just get a size larger than normal

    Which braided mainline for rolling meat?

    How about trying something like drennan double strength in 10/12Ib, it’s pre-stretched and should transmit knocks and plucks etc…it does when touch ledgering for chub, you just need to be light handed with playing them. Only problem I see is the potential for twist if using a rolling pin??

    Flavours for home rolled baits...

    If you want to keep it simple from a starting point go for JB Search4 flavour on the Taste F2 base…it’s a proven recipe, easy to make and will keep the cost down a bit

    Treasure trove - still useable?

    If it was me I wouldn’t use it for barbel on a low stock water as too much doubt on effectiveness - on a high stock water go and try it you’ll soon find out. However, I would still make some bait up and use for chub…they’ll eat anything! My cheesepaste is 4 yrs old now and in/out of the freezer...

    Wormery

    Nice! Couple of tips…keep it out of direct sunlight and check for/remove dead ones a couple of times a week, if left in they can soon spoil the whole wormer; and they particularly love eating cucumber!

    Insight GR60X Line or ESP Syncro XT Loaded.

    I tried the GR60x and found it very wiry which was surprising as a big fan of the original gr60. Also tried the ESP and was okay but a little wiry…personally I think there is far better line available - Fox Exocet to name just one
