    Interesting bait vid

    I was referring to the guy at Asylum baits who said in his last video (posted on here ) that Brocacel doesn’t work with fish meals, I suspect JB was referring to that comment . Yes JB was probably hinting at better yeast products out there . Plenty of ready made base mix’s have brocacel and...

    Harrison Advanced Rods

    Where did I say anything is wrong with a factory build ? JC you’re like a pack of wolves ! You’ve just quoted what I said and read something else !

    Harrison Advanced Rods

    Personally I don’t like the blingy stickers and they usually have too many rings , not sure why you’d buy a used custom build that didn’t suit your requirements ?

    Daiwa QD Reels

    Must admit these QDs got the better of my curiosity after reading this thread many times 😣 always used baitrunners , I panic when it comes to a 3 foot twitch and always cup the spool anyway , then turn the handle to disengage the baitrunner , so I’m pretty sure I’ll get the hang of a QD . And I...

    Harrison Advanced Rods

    That looks like a factory build , which may not suit your requirements? A custom built Harrison blank built to your specifications is as good as it gets , but also it comes at a price .

    Drennan Specialist landing net handle EUREKA moment

    I have both , need arms like Popeye to use the Gardner one ! The Drennan is much easier to use and I’ve never had a problem with mine apart from losing the end cap ( user error)

    Mighty Trent Day Ticket. Fiskerton v Stoke Bardolph Road

    From my research the NPS Fiskerton stretch is a decent walk and a locked gate to navigate , only NPS members have a key . The Barnsley stretch is much easier to get to some decent pegs , Post office is usually open around 06.20 Can’t help on the Stoke bit .

    Daiwa br25a vshimano 6000 oc

    I have a pair of Castizms and I’m looking for a pair of 6000 OCs to be honest , the Daiwas seem to have a sticking clutch and BR , both have done it since new , sticks initially then lets go , doesn’t seem right to me and a bit disconcerting.
