I've had a time of reflecting on some of the centrepin reels I've recently acquired and have decided with the amount of time I go I cannot justify keeping hold of this and a few other potential decent barbel pins. I'm therefore selling this for what i paid for it. A lovely reel manufactured in...

Just putting feelers out to see if anyone had a Bob James in nice condition please for sale. Thanks Jon

Afternoon lovely people, just a quick ask which centrepin people rate the best. I know this is a barbel page but I know lots of people fish for other species. This will be a small river trotting primarily chub reel. Any thoughts above or experience would be helpful thank you Jon

I'm considering buying the superlight weight pin. Has anyone used one and recommends them for in the water trotting for barbel and chub? Annoyingly I was offered a good price on the light weight but missed it! I've bought the cadence 14 #4 float rod and it's a tad on the heavier side! I was...

Hi folks not messing to take over the forum discussions on news year day I promise. I've been laid up after routine operation issues which has given me plenty of time to reflect and think about fishing. I love in North Devon so trips to the wye (primarily) or Severn are limited each year. I'm...

Happy new year one and all. I'm vowing to get on the bigger rivers primarily the wye but maybe the Severn to this season and coming seasons on a much more regular basis. Anyway my question is what are peoples thoughts on ledgering upstream versus downstream? And when would favour one approach...

Morning all I bought this off Mike a Lovely member on here just before Christmas. Anyway despite it being a lovely pin and being delighted with it I bought it on a wim and didn't really need it. Sadly I don't get on the rivers that often and when I do I have a few lovely pins I can use. Anyway...

Always a massive point for me personally when buying any equipment is good customer service. No point having the best products if there's no faithfulness to customers once sold. I'm doing my first wye trip sat in 2 years. I bought the cr10 #4 feeder rod 2 years ago but never used it as the...

Hi guys I've fished for barbel a fair bit over time but not this time off year and after a bear 2 year lay off!! I'm heading to wye lea this Saturday 29th Oct. To add to the pressure I'm taking my brom who is a newbie to coarse fishing. I've fished there 2 days before but so long ago. I wanted...

Evening folks bought this but not going to be using it. Decent used condition spins well and lock works well. Some paint damage on the front and a bit on the rim. Ideally suit someone who's after the bigger reel but also not after aesthetics. I've not seen many this size around. I could weigh it...

Evening all I wanted to ask a bit of friendly advise please about guiding the warks Avon. I'm not expecting any hidden secrets etc. I'm finally getting my arse back on the rivers after 2 years absence from the wye! I'm based in North Devon so have to travel. Anyway end of next week and the...

Hi guys I'm looking until whether anyone has got a cadence 15ft #3 (so biggest power rating) float rod they washed to sell? I've got an lovely diawa connoisseur 15ft float rod I could swap as a consideration. Been used once so immaculate with carry case thanks Jon

Being a north Devon barbel deprived Fisherman I'd live to hear your stories of what's been doing in on the rivers? Hopefully you've been catching and getting out there regardless 👍

Afternoon people, just thought I'd share some centrepin casting success. I love fishing for the fact that it offers so many different forms and techniques in which we can enjoy to essentially do the same thing of catch fish be it fresh water, bait spin fly salt etc. Anyway I have wanted to use...

Hi guys on my last trip to the wye I managed to fold my korum neotric 1.75lb top. Despite it being old its only been used a couple of times. Anyway no come back as expected from them. I was forced to use the quiver tip top and found that an eye ceramic was missing from the 6 oz tip. Best to...

Just had a thought as to whether anyone else does? Ive just a tank service and water change. Only good a 120 litres community tank but love it. My algae eaters look like mini barbel :cool:

Well I've decided to take today off. Im self employed and thankfully still got work all by myself away from anyone else. However my dad's unwell in hospital (heart) and what with the stress of the current climate its all been getting on top of me. Despite not fishing as much as I'd like due to...

This came up in the feed currently enjoying a classic. Try to listen to that music and whistling at the start and not feel happy :D

Snapped the above on the back yesterday. If anyone has an old one lying around please let me know thanks Jon

Hi guys looking for other barbel and chub options. Sadly don't do many trips per year but thought I'd ask if it was worth a trip. Always keen to hear about new water. Particularly the Sydney beat. Like the ideas of the weir pool etc thanks Jon https://shrewsburytownfisheries.co.uk/
