    FUTURE FISHING big update

    I don’t understand how it’s got to this, it was a well stocked shop that covered most aspects of fishing. I’ve bought a few things from them over the past couple of years and always been happy with their pricing and service. Good luck to them and hopefully they will re-emerge in the future in...

    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    Around 5 years ago a mate and myself were fishing the entrance to farndon marina on the Trent for zander. It got dark and around 9pm he came over to me and asked what did she want….He said a woman had been at the side of me in just a white dress and it looked like she had been saying something...

    Small river Rod recommendation

    I've an old Shimano 1.75lb Beast Master Classic All Round 11' AX I use on the Dearne. It's got a nice soft tip but progressive power under load, I suppose it's like a stepped up avon rod. On such a narrow, shallow river its a case of hit and hold and soon tames the chub and smallish barbel I've...

    Bail arms

    I've always feathered the line down to the water then tripped the bail arm manually, it feels more controlled.

    Barbel weight vs length. Etc etc

    Measuring fish seems to be creeping into most forms of angling these days, annoyingly usually followed by a Facebook post asking what people think it weighed. I’ve no problem with anyone doing one or the other, but I’m old fashioned and it’s weight all the way for me. from my own experience I’ve...

    FS Barbel seeker same rod but different?

    The top rod is marked ’SU’ presumably meaning ‘stepped up’, which could well explain the beefier rings. It’s also possible the blank could be a different action as well. I’d try hanging a 3 or 4 ounce lead off them side by side to compare the action.

    Unexpected 'cut-offs'

    I believe its either mitten crabs or crays. I fished a stretch on the upper Trent last Monday and late afternoon my luncheon meat and hard pellet baits were disappearing progressively faster up to dusk, so much so I packed in at 8pm out of frustration. This is an area not particularly known for...
