£‘s if anyone is looking to relieve themselves of one. Thanks.

Thanks Neil - really helpful. I’m keen to get it fishing again.

Thanks for this, Neil. Much appreciated. It does indeed have the gold section collars you mention. The rogue spare top section must be a Heath Robinson quiver then, based on your info.

No Dave, it wasn’t John.

Thanks Richard. The in-laws aren’t far from Grafham so that’s good to know. Yep, the rod has most certainly not been in a display case, but was passed on to me and I fancy getting it back on the bank. I won’t profess to know anything about Normarks but this one comes with with two top...

I recently acquired a Normark NMB 156-3. The blank and the spliced tip look in good shape. The same can’t be said of the rings, with a couple missing and a number of others needing re-whipping. There’s also an issue with the reel fixing. The old locking rings remain but without any other...

Sorry to flex, but I won a game of Boggle once with the word, ‘marmalade’. Uhm, how long until the rivers open?

I tried a variety of rigs, tactics and baits this season. The most success has come with a relatively simple approach; 2mm krill on a flat method feeder, teamed with 2x8mm drilled halibut pellets hair rigged on a short hook length. Firing some 8mm scalded halibut pellets over the top of this...

Experienced something similar on Saturday myself (minus the excitement of a good chub 😂)

I live within 4 miles of Hatfield and fish the Lea and Great Ouse on VAC and LAA tickets. If anyone has any info about how to join the Hatfield and District Angling Society I’d be most grateful. Many thanks.

Done. Thank you Andy.

True. Personally though I’d rather see the fish up close than the angler (apologies to some of the super models on the Forum).

The carry bag is an extra at around £20. Sounds like you properly Dick Turpin’d the bloke down the road 😂

If you don’t have any luck finding the replacement part but want a like-for-like replacement they seem to pop up a fair bit on eBay (4 in the last month at c£60-70). I have been using the Drennan Twin Tip Duo for 6 months now and really like it.

Didn’t The Wurzels have a hit with ‘I’ve never seen a barbel eat a rusty bike frame’ back in the seventies?
