Bought this years ago and had it serviced by Garry Mills. Used it twice (and caught both times!) but then been sat in my basement unused for years. Obviously it's not pristine but for it's age it's in very good working order. Spins very true and no wobble. £110 posted

2 x Shimano Baitrunner Aero 8000 GTE-B reels - bought them second hand but only used them a couple of times. Full working condition and cosmetically all is fine. £110 posted

Had a bit of clear out and found some stuff I don't think I'll ever use. First up is a JW Young lighweight centre pin. I got as far as loading it with 12lb Gamma Edge line and set up a rod with it, but that's as close to the bank as it got. And I've had it for years....! It's in pristine...

Not sure how good they are but if you're only occasionally fishing the big rivers then the 2.75lb/13ft at £45 must be a bargain. Free postage as well...

Does anybody remember the controversial tale written by an angler who was barbel fishing in what was Yugoslavia (or somewhere similar) back in the 80's? I seem to remember he wrote of huge (16lb+) Barbel caught that were unheard of at the time, but was then had his tales doubted by all and...

Hello - it's been a while since the last thread on this topic so here goes.... I am in the market for a travel rod. I'll be fishing for big chub but would need the ability to deal with a decent barbel if one came along. It seems that the good ole John Wilson Avon Quiver is still going strong...

Just thought I'd share a short tale - with a bit of a preamble.... Having grown up by the banks of the Bristol Avon at Limpley Stoke the mighty Barbel has always been the fish I hanker after. As a kid in the 80's I caught an eye-poppingly large fish of 8.11 which was the biggest I'd ever seen...

Anyone interested in buying my Avon Scales? Had them for 25 years and had them serviced around 4 years ago by the Avon Scale Co. but the screen is a bit foggy for my dodgy eyesight. Screen has a small crack on it as well but otherwise in perfect working order. Checked with a certified 7lb weight...

Greys GRXi+ fly rod - 9ft #9. Only used a handful of times. Had Pike to over 20lbs on them. Comes with rod tube - zip tag is broken but zip itself still works fine so no bother. Okuma Airframe #7/9 reel with spare spool. One spool is loaded with #9 floating line that is unused. Comes with a...

Last weekend I managed to land a lovely barbel of 12lb 7oz at last knockings. However taking the obligatory trophy shots (admittedly only with an iPhone) has resulted in some pretty poor photos with flash glare and the such like. While I'm not overly bothered about this particular occasion it...

I've got the chance to fish a stretch of a chalk stream that's reputed to hold some decent Roach. It's quite fast flowing water and there are lots of little sluices and weirs, and it's also rammed full of trout. The only slight problem is that I'm only allowed to use 'vegetable' baits - i.e. no...

Hello - does anybody know anyone who does minor repair work to rods in the Bath area? Fairly basic stuff like mending a cork handle and whipping on hook keepers etc.. Too advanced for my clumsy hands I'm afraid...

Hello - me and a couple of mates are having a 3 days trip in search of Barbel at Bridgnorth and was hoping for some pointers. I've looked at Hampton Loade and Unicorn on Kinvers Freeliners as well as Northwood and Trimpley on the BAA ticket and they all look promising? But where would we start...

I am thinking about taking a trip to Linear after the Tench. Has anybody had any experiences positive or negative? I'd probably arrive the night before and camp, before getting up at first light to see if I can spot them rolling. Manor Farm or St John's would appear to be the lakes to target but...

I found this usually useless but occasionally very useful. However I think I have managed to break the remote sensor. I was using it when boat fishing and managed to bash it about a bit. It still tells me the water temperature, but not the depth! I have tried Humminbird customer service over...

Greys GRXi fly rod #9 / 9 ft long - unused so perfect condition. Ideal for Fly Fishing for Pike but also single-handed Salmon/Sea Trout and apparently light saltwater work although cannot confirm this. I bought two of these and on the other one I've had Pike to over 20lbs and there's plenty of...

Drennan Series 7 Avon/Quiver twin tip rod. It's the 1¼lb version however it comes with the 3oz and 4oz tips rather than the lighter ones. I wanted it for river fishing so this seemed sensible. The Avon top is standard. It comes with a bag (marked 1½lb t/c) and a protective tube. Bought...

Greys GRXi Rod #9 / 9 ft long. Comes with an Okuma Airframe reel loaded with a #9 floating line and three Pike Flies. Only been used a couple of times (the fly line itself is unused) so perfect condition. £90 posted

I bought it off someone on BFW about 3 years ago and it's been a great rod to use, particularly for rolling meat. It's in decent condition and I can email photos to anyone interested. I would be looking for £80 plus postage.

11 foot Seer Barbel Specialist - 1.5lb t.c. I bought it off someone on BFW about 3 years ago and it's been a great rod to use, particularly for rolling meat. It's in decent condition and I can email photos to anyone interested. I would be looking for £110 plus postage.
