    Good bit of kit for self takes...

    Not sure how much that Korum version is, but I bought something very similar on Ebay, a bracket that screws into a bank stick and holds your phone, with a very bright multi function light on top. Have used it with voice control and it works very well both in daylight and night. Also doubles as a...

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    Hi Ian, As a recipient of some really helpful advice from you on Ribble barbel fishing with a float, I will definitely subscribe, and look forward to learning more this coming season. All the best, Steve.

    Barbel Society - Is there a 2025 Show

    Never been before but thinking about going this year. I assume it is open to non members?

    New eyes or new rods

    Worth a look as you are effectively buying 2 rods, a 1.75lb tip for general fishing normal conditions on medium to bigger rivers, plus a 2.25lb tip which is capable of fishing with big leads (unless you have to cast a long way). We use ours on the Ribble and I have fished 6oz leads in flood...

    What are you favourites hooks?

    Yes, thats what I have. I thought they were still a little bigger ........a size 12 would be nice, but the 10's I find fine for larger baits like boilies.

    Landing nets handle

    That's just bloody rude 😂😂 .............£95 for a landing net handle, no thanks!!!

    Landing nets handle

    Looks good. I saw something similar in Angling Direct recently - can't remember which brand, as the £95 price tag soon put me off looking closely! This one seems more reasonably priced. Might be useful when wading.

    What are you favourites hooks?

    Bank tackle hooks are generally large. I just wish they did some in size 12 as I think their hooks are about one size bigger than most of their competitor brands. I use them in size 10, but it's bigger than some size 8's i have from other manufacturers.

    New member going on an adventure to the river Severn.

    Am sure some locals will give you some up to date advice, but until covid me and a group of mates would holiday in Bridgnorth every year for a week in September.We would buy the BAA ticket, good value even at £40ish. Have fished most of the BAA stretches, my favourites being Knowle Sands...

    Fish Locker

    I have done a bit of sea fishing nd agree that his videos are entertaining. Not always just fishing, some are quasi travel videos when he holidays in exotic places with his family and some about foraging etc.. He is, i believe, the current UK shore bass record holder, unless it has been beaten...

    Wading/Trotting Net

    Thanks Terry, but believe you are referring to the nets that fold for carrying/storing, rather than the fast net wading type nets that unfold when you need to net a fish.

    Wading/Trotting Net

    Thanks guys, back to the drawing board I think based on your comments about the Korum Fastnet :p

    Wading/Trotting Net

    Brian, was that the standard folding spoon or was it the fast net like this? Ive been considering one of the latter for wading.

    Landing net for wading

    Sorry guys, just found a thread asking the same question......didn't check first! Mods can delete this if necessary.

    Landing net for wading

    Looking to try for barbel on the float this year, which will involve some wading and using a 14' rod with a pin. I'm after advice or recommendations for a collapsible landing net. Options seem to be the fixed handle type trout nets, which seem too small, or at least too short in the handle, or...

    No, yesterday 😝. Last session for a while I think 😫

    Ebay

    I have just read about this too. Looks like they are moving to a scheme similar to Vinted, where the buyer pays a compulsory fee to give them buyer protection. Think this will be included in the item price so won't affect the seller. I have bought a couple bits from Vinted and never had any...

    Chasing chub....

    Despite the title of the thread, I know lots of posts on here are more about centre pins and trotting, so please indulge me for a minute as I share a pic of a roach I caught on the 2nd ever time I used a centrepin. Have always fancied trying one but never have until I picked up a cheap Marco...
