Sent you pm.

What they like size wise with regards body shape. I'm 6'3" and 20st so not slim, but not massive either.

Hi @Russ Pike . Do you still have these or have you sold them ??

Hugglescote, near Coalville.

Where you from, Niall ?? If you fish the Derwent and the Soar, you're pretty close to me in Leicestershire. If we could arrange it, you could have a gander at my Basia's.

I bought them during Covid so couldn’t get to see any, not that anywhere nearby had them. Went off what was said on here and the fact that there were Daiwa’s top barbel rod. Took a gamble, but it paid off. Probably get what I paid for them, or close to it if I was to sell now. I’ve fished the...

They're nice and slim, look nice. The playing action is forgiving rather than tippy. You never feel out of control. I wouldn't say they are out and out casting jobbies, but will get you a good distance. My 2.75s feel slightly less in the test curve to me, that's why I probably use them a lot...

I've got the 2.75 Basias and really like them, even the rings. I use them on the middle and tidal Trent. They're that nice I tend to use them all the time now.

I don't use pellets much of any size on the hook, but do feed them in moderation. I'd normally square off a halibut boilie, and use that instead. I'd fined down due to the conditions, fished an 8mm banded pellet on a 12 hook to a long 9lbs Supplex hooklength, in the hope smaller baits would...

What's the smallest size pellet you would use as a hook bait ?? Had my first trip out this season on a very low middle Trent last week. I fished a banded 8mm pellet with a mesh bag of mixed sized pellets on my upstream rod, and a whittled down boilie with a few freebies on the bottom rod...

Brilliant isn't it. How do they do it ?? My first one only took 40 minutes. Get well soon. Amounts to pretty much the same thing going on yesterdays performance,......

Whishing you all the best, Tom. At least you'll know what to expect this time around. Although, I'm not sure that's any help, as you know what's coming. Had my second one done 27th Feb this year.

I use 18lbs Supernatural, and get on with it alright. I also use Drennan Gravel braid, but find it a little think in comparison.

The electricity industry is looking at different ways to supply the extra demand. Local "smart" networks where those with home generation feed back into the local area, powering houses locally, rather than just the grid. Come home in your 50% charged car, plug it in and it feeds back into the...

......And hope it rains. It's time to think outside the box. Not just for water, but for all utilities and other essentials. We keep adding houses to everywhere, but the infrastructure doesn't keep pace. We were told we had plenty of water earlier this year, and wouldn't need to worry. Now...

Surely a better option would be building de-salination plants rather than reservoirs.

After a day on a building site removing a power line, and we're back there today, I retired to the shade of the house when I got home. With the forecast being the same all week, I doubt I'll get an evening out this week. not looking too good weather wise for next week either. Nice to see some...

I use ATT underlit alarms with snag ears but with the receiver turned off. The light coming on is enough to alert me of a take. If I start to feel drowsy, I'll put the receiver on, but even when I'm Carp fishing I find it difficult to sleep with rods out.

It's time it was scrapped and let the clubs decide when we can fish. Seems to work on the big Carp waters. They just close when the fish are actually spawning.
