Well done, got to do whatever we can.

Thanks Michael, will keep an eye on it.

Thanks David

Morning All I'm hoping to have a few days fishing somewhere different next week, weather and river levels allowing if course. Could anyone point me in direction of free or day ticket stretches of the Thames where there's a chance of of chub or two ? It's not somewhere I've ever fished and a a...

Yes , Legermaster, that's the one. The Mk1 was much more powerful than the Mk2.

Going back maybe thirty years they did an 11 foot three piece Avon with detachable butt. The Mk1 was very tippy and powerful. Mk2 was completely different, ultra soft, bit floppy for my liking. Still got it though as "might come in handy".

Used Mitchells and ABU Cardinals for years and liked them at the time but would never go back to them now.

But fair.

Try Robin Howard in Brighton. Small fast boat, lure fishes for everything. Very very knowledgable bloke and an affable chap too.

Yeah, small sizes fine for me too. I contacted Drennan. Bloke just said that he'd used them for years without a problem and " the larger sizes are more likely to open up because the gape is wider ".

I've used these in small sizes for years and never had a problem. Always impressed with strength for their size. Tonight used a packet of size 6 and had two small fish open them up and four others lose their piint on first fish. Anyone else had any issues ?

Yes, I somehow got a cut in my shortly after I bought them. Repaired with Aquasure ( it creates a " soft " pliable glue ) and still fine seven or eight years on.

Thanks Robert.

My mate caught a cod in the spring with a lamprey attached to it. It had burrowed a few mm into the flesh and was very difficult to remove. Not a cudley creature.
