    Leeda Blue diamond 13ft specimen float.

    I brought one of these last year, payed about £30 on market place. Great rod for grayling fishing , handled the trout no problem on a fast flowing river test.

    Help with server costs

    Done. I haven't fished for barbel for a few seasons, but get great information from the site, for grayling and tench , not to mention the classified section. Keep up the great work . 👏🎣

    I do use three rubbers , like I said to Richard, probably my error , I will try feathering the line more thou

    So I’ve got a little range of bolo floats.

    To be honest it's probably user error, I'm still getting used to trotting rivers , always ledgered before, but there's nothing quite like it when you get it right, and the float goes under.

    Yeh, it's just much prefer a shorter float . I find I get a lot more tangles with larger stem floats, when using olivette's for some reason. I end up just fishing chubber floats most of the time.

    Sounds good Richard I will have some when you are ready, the thickness of the top is a great idea, i struggle to see some of the shop brought floats,

    They look great, Richard. What sort of depth are these mainly used for ? I fish the lower Itchen , a fast river but not very deep in places . What would happen if you was to shorten the wire stem on them ?

    Grayling

    I fish the lower itchen, I always used red maggots, until last season, got speaking to someone fishing it and he was using corn. I haven't used maggots since, a lot cheaper too.

    Grayling

    Had my first trip of the season on Sunday. Weather was awful but managed 12 Grayling, and a few out of season brownies. Good stamp of fish most of them over a 1lb.

    Wanted 15ft float road

    I fish the lower itchen for grayling, and use the 15ft acolyte plus. It's not the grayling I have problems with it's the trout steaming off , doubling the rod over, I'm normally chasing the bloody things along the bank.

    Bobco - In Administration

    Bobco had an eBay shop, I spent enough on there . Quite a lot of shops use it.

    Whip round

    Sorry Paul, I didn't realize it was like that. It just goes to show what goes on behind the scenes of running a website. Great job by all 👏
