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

Thanks Craig a little story for you, about five years ago someone bought me a set of these savers z3 for my birthday and they are still going strong in between I thought I was bettering myself a couple of years ago and treated myself to a set of prolific snz and over two years they have...

I have been looking for a set of budget Alarms and sonik SKS in particular but also I see sonik do another called the Vader x, so looking on flea bay and I notice another called Hirisi and they do an alarm that looks identical to the Vader x so wondering if they are one and the same alarm...

Hi guys looking for a bit of advice for the use of Shimano 5500 lc medium bait runners. The troublesome plastic line guards on mine don't seem to last long before I need to replace them but they are becoming hard to find so since the beginning of the season I have been using the reels without...

Absolutely agree with you Phill, there's only one way to determine the weight of a fish and that's to weigh it, personally I only weigh a fish if I think it may be a double and the number of times I've been wrong is remarkable, there's a chap on our syndicate who insists he can guess weigh...
