Yes please, I’ll take them. Messsge sent

This years PAC Convention will be held at the Newark Showground on Saturday 21 September, see the attached poster for details.

I’ll second the rapidex, tough as old boots and reliable. The narrow drum isn’t a problem either as it still holds plenty of line.

After an expensive couple of days last year when rats got in my shed and chewed reel handles, cork butt sections and 3 bags I’ve no sympathy with rodents. I bought a poison box and a catch alive box, backed up with my air gun and Jack Russel, problem almost solved but still get them passing...

It’s always worth taking a rake. At the moment the shallower far bank (called the fingers) is under water, the near bank (between the larger specimen lake and match lake) is quite deep and shallows up as you cast further. There’s an old access track underwater along this side. I normally take...

I’ve fished hibalstow quite a few times over the past 2 years. It is the most prolific tench fishery I’ve ever fished, my best day was 24 tench up to around 5lb and half a dozen Rudd to over 2lb. Unfortunately as said earlier it’s been flooded with the wet winter and up to now isn’t producing as...

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...

I’ve been temped too long… I’ll take it and message sent

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...

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...

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

I bought the Vass 400E, after trying various ones at Angling Direct as they were the lightest in stock by quite a margin

I'm super cautious with the internet and my information and avoid sites like Temu

I had mine missing, angling direct said they weren’t included but contacted korum and they apologised and I got some within a week

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...

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.

I’ve taken this off his Facebook page A selection of FFF Fiskys Fantastic Feeders. FFF feeders cover a range of situations from small idyllic rivers to huge brutes like the river Trent. They range from 2.5-8oz and suitable for barbel, tench and I'd even be the could knock you up some for your...

I've had and gone back to Paul Fisks maggot feeders they are excellent quality, tough, Trent proof and in weights up to 8ounce. https://www.facebook.com/FiskysFantasticFeeders/
