    The best mono line I have ever used

    Can't give a comparison to GR60 butt I like GT80 and would use it if I couldn't get hydrotuff or synchro xt. All three are good but I've currently got hydrotuff on my spools as it just seems 'better' - and that's the thing about lines, everyone has a favourite for logical and sometimes illogical...

    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    Fishing the lower Severn on a summer's evening a few years ago it had been dark for an hour or so and a light mist was forming in the river valley. I heard youthful voices coming from the direction of the car park a couple of fields away and saw bobbing lights from a couple of mobile phones...

    Isotopes

    I changed rods at Christmas and endured endless problems with line looping over the Enterprise holder when it was between the tip and first ring on the new rods. I then repositioned it on the tip ring - where you have put yours. Just like magic, I've had no more tangles.

    Normark repair - help sought

    Hi Richard. I don't think that's right as long long ago I built a 12ft normark float rod for my dad that came with two tips as described above. It had sliding plastic reel collars on a Cork handle with a plastic end cap, a hollow carbon tip and a spliced carbon tip. The joints also had stainless...

    Fishing line change

    Or, if you don't want to go to the park or break out the calculator and you have a garden, you could just use distance sticks set 12ft apart and go around them in a figure of 8 25 times for 100 yards. Then wind the line onto your reel spool. If you find it's under or over filled, wind it back...
