Superb fish and a great photo, I'm made up for you Richard.

Fabulously good feeders and they really are as rugged as described.

I've noticed much the same, and it is also apparent in the "medium 6mm" size too. I say this as I had a small surplus of both left over from a previous order and noticed the difference whilst I was transferring them to air-tight storage containers in the garage.

Whilst not Wallis per se, I would search for old Paul4 posts on pin fishing for Barbel.

Homemade baked biscuit/pellet, using ground up feed pellet (v low oil) as the base.

That video content very much reminded me of Kevin Baynes, whom I can quote.. "..a rod is a lever and regardless of Tc, they are defined by their action.."

Richard bakes exceedingly good feeders ;)

The 13'6 is a wonderful tool. Never caught a double figure Barbel with her, but I have been down to 3lb main using her and still had lots of fun with the little Ladies and the Dace. Worth every penny.

Much the same exp here. I contrived to break the hard case that it was supplied with, so replaced the case with.. https://forcesuniformandkit.co.uk/products/nato-army-folding-shovel-dutch-issue?_pos=4&_sid=b7ad92677&_ss=r A nice snug fit.

Oh for that Teme-Severn Ultimate Feeder mix to be available again, that was my goto go anywhere catch everything solution. Another one "lost" to the ether.. CCMoores 2-3mm Hi-Betain feed pellets Down to my last few Kg's of the original large Elips, used as hookbaits only now, they do smell a...

Regarding the Sportex 11' blanks, I had a pair of them built by Kevin Baines, that were unfortunately lost in a burglary. They could exert in excess of 7lbs of pulling pressure to the hook and yet had a truly beautiful through action. They were initially acquired for snag and light flood fishing...

Sorry to have missed out on these, right up my street. Should more become available Richard, would you please pm me, I would be be looking at acquiring between 12 and 20 of them. I am also after some quality closed end feeders in 2, 3 and 4oz, I understand that these are a tad more fiddly for...

Wishing you an unencumbered and enlightened New Year. My resolution is to shake the poorlies and get out on the bank more often.

Using armour mesh, a thimble sized measure of 3mm pellets mixed with ground pellet is a go to alternative of mine in those more frustrating situations, the resulting hook bait is not as small as might be required as the mesh itself has quite the volume yet, and often enough to remain in the...

I can use that as an opportune present, will pm you.
