A couple of the chaps on the Trent I know have the shimano purist bx3 in 13ft length 3lb test curve and both swear by them and although I say 3 lb t.c is maybe a tad heavy and stiff they both say the action is just right for playing big trent barbel and casting big leads with ease also the...

Thanks for your kind replies chaps, must say I find it strange to do all those sizes and miss the 10s out but such is life lol.

Does anyone happen to know if they do robin red pellets in a 10mm size. thank you

Amazon also do carp king which I buy 100 mtres a shot I think it's about 36mm or maybe 37mm about £31 with postage

I share your view Alex I just love being on the bank meeting old friends for a chinwag and a chat about old times and also of plans for the future, don't get me wrong I like to catch a few fish also.

Thanks for your reply Graham , I'm in the north east so a tad to far but thanks anyway

Saw this bivvy on flea bay and as my trusty wychwood bivvy coming to life's end wondered if anyone had any info on this as never heard of them a sd watched the clip on you tube seems a bargain and as I only do about 3 overnighters a year as now an oldie can't warrant spending a fortune, tha...

Have a look at the fox eos 2.25 I have a pair and to be honest a lovely rod with a nice action for about £60 quid apiece cant fault them coupled with a pair of the early korum 3k 2.50 test curve rods for flood water I find it's all I need. I have used these rods week in week out on the Trent...

Just wandering what people's views are of adding additives to hook bait feed pellets and the like , personally I add a touch of garlic oil to my hook bait and feed pellets but am I really improving the attraction by masking the already flavoured pellets with another flavour, ,been watching a few...

I too like Kevin ground off 3mm from the top of the collet maybe twelve months ago still working perfect the main problem with this handle is caused by people over tightening them, my mate has the gardner one and is a lot heavier and thicker and in my opinion not as good but hey ho whatever...

I have two of these and find that most of the problems come l,e locking up comes from over tightening and as time goes on the taper locking mechanism wears and the top of the thread allows it to jam tight on the upper pole, I found the solution was to trim about an eight of an inch off the top...

Thanks for all your help chaps but had a few issues in the last couple of months so haven't persuaded it any further .

wanted older type korum trolley , the one that makes a trolley out of the older square leg chairs had one but gave it away doh!!!!!! but wish I hadn't, thanks

Thanks for your replies chaps,I can see the advantages of using braid when rolling meat or touch ledgering as more in contact with the fish and bites but for float fishing personally I think I would prefer the added shock obsorbsion of mono but must stress I don't do any of these but it all...

I can understand that Chris and I have used it for fishing long range for roach and bream myself and can see the advantage for bite detection but know people that use braid for barbel and will argue black and blue how much better it is but I cant see it hence the question,cheers

can someone please explain the advantages of using braid for Barbel fishing, personally I use mono because in my mind it provides a shock absorber with the stretch it provides but braid has no stretch whatsoever and I think because of this there is always a danger of the fish doing damage to its...

Jrc not a bad budget alarm Joe,my mate had a set for four years and ready for a change this year but to do four years with this guy who's really hard on his gear to me is a worthy recomendation, Think they were the jrc Dr alarms .

Thanks Craig much obliged.🎣

Hi Craig been looking at those new direction alarms and without sounding a tad dumb lol hope you don't mind me asking . do you have to connect your phone to make them work or can you just use them like any other alarm via the reciever or without the reciever .

thanks to all for your help
