    Rods & Reels for sale - Updated with additions (& price reductions)

    See above, re the Finesse. The Standard version is still available. Just got it out of the fishing den while doing the photos of the Finesse for Julian. It’s a minter - plastic wrap still on the butt and compact dolly section. Drop me a PM, if you want more info/photos.

    Rods & Reels for sale - Updated with additions (& price reductions)

    I'm having a bit of a clear out - No doubt I'm going to miss a few of these if they sell, but they deserve good homes and more use than I'm giving them! Drennan im9 Classic 13ft Compact - 3 piece, but breaks down to 2x 6ft sections with the additional screw in butt section. Original sleeve...

    Podcast recommendations

    Keith Arthur does one called ‘The Strange Boat’. Just a general fishing one with a different guest each time. Always enjoyed his presenting style. The Korda & Guru ones are okay, but both quite long format and Carp & Match related respectively, as you’d expect. I quite like them both on longer...

    Bad barbel pics

    Can’t believe I left the strand of weed on my PB…

    Are you happy to pay to watch fishing videos?

    I was provisionally interested Fishflix, having seen a few teaser snippets via Martin Bowler's instagram over the past few months. It looked as though it was aiming at the 'Passion-esque' kinda vibe, rather anything overly instructional or specifically promoting gear. I much prefer that...

    On the Telly - Grand fishing adventure

    I watched a couple of last year’s. Ali seems to have taken all of the irritating elements of Monster Carp and cranked them up to eleven-ty stupid. It’s not for me. And I’m usually of the opinion of that anything fishing related on the telly is better than most of the other crap! I actually...

    Still water barbel

    I'm pretty certain they can't/don't and their spawning in stillwaters hasn't been documented. As a species, I think they're even relatively selective about spawning grounds in their natural habitats. If the above is true, any stockings or existence in stillwaters due to floods are going to be...

    Fish In Warks Avon. Update

    Hi Graham It doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it after all. Bloody work… I’d still like to put a charity donation in though. Gutted, to be honest. Always fancied a bash at the Warks and what better company to have a crack with than a few fellow BFWers. Maybe next time… Apologies. I...

    Highly reccomended

    I second that! All joking aside, I’ve had a couple of rods off of Rob and they’ve both been minters, exactly as described and too tempting on the price to turn down. Think he charms them with something as well, had a previous pb Barbel on the Hants Avon on the first outing with a Mark Tunley...

    Boilies.

    JB user here too. Tried Taste F2 & Big Rivers mixes but had most success on Bio Shellfish with the Plum & Alaar Salar flavours in the recommended low doses; I know it seems like an ‘out there’ combination, but it’s one of John’s recommended recipes. I prefer a softer bait to a harder one, so...

    Hook types...

    I’ve gone back to using Drennan Continental Boilie hooks. I like the way they ‘sit’ with a fluorocarbon hooklink, with their out turned eye. I think some of the stiffer/less supple fluoro or mono choices combined with the in-turned eyes of some of the main branded carp hooks can close the gape...

    River Lugg destruction court decision.

    If only… I’d bring back a nice, fetid and cramped Prison Hulk from the 18th century, anchor it up near me in Chichester Harbour and lock the Southern Water big-wigs in there. Ideally, coinciding the whole event with a touch of drizzle, so they could watch their final ‘floodwater’ turds of...

    Line recommendation.

    Silstar Match Team may be worth considering. Don't do much float fishing for Barbel, so others might have a better idea, but it's never let me down in lower breaking strains for other species. I think it comes in a 7lb.something BS and a 10lb.something BS at the higher end of the strength...

    VHS / dvd

    Have you still got a vhs player, Hatter? If you have and it’s got RCA outputs (the little circular red, white and yellow ports), then you just need a 3RCA to USB and some software on a PC. Or you can buy the cables & software together Once you’ve got the files transferred to your PC, you can...

    Moon Phases app

    Willyweather website does the job. I think there’s an app too, but I just put a link on my Home Screen. Tap the webpage url, then the little box with the arrow, scroll down to ‘add to home screen’.
