My long standing weigh sling has gone. The type that you simply used to weigh the fish & not the unnecessarily complicated (with fold down plastic tubing 🙄) and 'heavy' types you find in todays tackle shop. In anyone has an unwanted/spare crescent shaped sling (or similar) that they want to...

Lovely looking reel. Those old enough on BFW will remember these as being well engineered.
Fully functional and in good condition. Very slight bend on the reel handle. I could get this sorted.
BFW members first dibs before it's loaded onto Gumtree.👍
£110 posted.
I was wondering what the forum members think of fish cradles? Owners have the best of intentions when it comes to fish welfare. However, in the heat of summer, the green colouration and material of construction, can easily absorb heat, upping temperatures, that can cause heat stress to species...
Hollow glass, brown, fuji rings, clasp reel seats. Approximately 1.25 lb TC. Cork full length handles. Vintage. Both come with original rod bags. Sorry no pictures currently. Will post pictures later.
£180 the pair. Will post at cost or possibly meet at a mutually agreeable location for pick up.
I've gradually built up a multi-species collection over the years. I am starting to sell/give away various titles that I no longer want. There are certain favourite titles that I'll keep. What's your top 5?
I know this may be controversial and I'm all for embracing 'new' technology. But, digital scales. Why bother? They seem to me more hassle than they're worth and I see a lot of dubious weights of fish, claimed to have been weighed, using digital scales. I know that in the hands of experienced...
11 foot 3.5 lb TC . Black with cork handles. Self build. Can also supply with matching Mitchell 306's for a truly retro outfit. Verging on the 'golden scale club' 😁 The rods need a bit of a refurb, but the cork handles, rings and joints are in good condition. £200 the pair with reels. Pick up...
Slightly different format this issue. Really enjoying it with some good photography. Quite a few feature articles, by different anglers, on what makes them 'tick' and the way in which they approach their barbel fishing. I especially liked the Lee Swords and Neil Wayte features. Not finished yet...
I've Fred Crouches book which is OK, and probably good at the time, but now seems a bit dated. Although behaviour descriptions still apply. I also have Barbel Tales which is mostly quite good. Also a 40 plus pamphlet type barbel book by Tony Miles. Good but a tad too brief. Can anyone recommend...
I am having a clear out. All books at the prices quoted plus postage at cost 2nd class. All hardback unless stated otherwise.

Hello all. My name is Ady and this is my first post on the forum. I've been visiting the site on and off for some time and there are some interesting posts and topics up for discussion.
Here we go. Over the last few decades, barbel, along with other species of UK freshwater fish are growing in...
