    When is an upgrade really an upgrade?

    I started writing up an inventory of my rods and reels this weekend. I wanted to take some time to reflect on what I have and what I like or dislike about those things. It also gave me the opportunity to think clearly about any items I may want to upgrade and why. One of the rods I have a...

    J. W. Young & Sons Trudex Mk 1

    Hi all, Here’s an old warrior if anyone wants a reel that will take abuse and they’re not fussy about looks etc. It was originally black, but I have stripped back the paint on the outside. Decent ratchet and tensioner works fine. Handles are spot on. It wobbles, but it’ll still run a float...

    **Sold** Maver Signature Pro Classic Float 15'

    Hi all, This is a bit of a tug to be honest, but I'm just not using this fantastic rod and I need to raise some funds to buy something else. These are incredible float rods. They are light (177g so Acolyte territory), fast tip and deceptively powerful. Official line rating is 6lb and that is...

    Aero Baitrunner spool sizes?

    Hi folks, I’ve got a pair of Super Aero Baitrunner XTE 10000 reels and would like to know if I can get smaller spools (maybe 6000?!) to fit them. Anyone know if it’s doable or where I might find out? Cheers, Alan

    Centrepins: A Bit More Variety Needed?

    I love centrepins and fish almost exclusively with them. I own- and have owned- a modest number of different reels; some old, some new, some true-pin and some bearing reels. Trial, error and personal preference have taught me that my favourite reels are true pins, and on balance I like narrow...

    Well, that escalated quickly!

    Started fishing just before noon. By 1pm I’d almost lost my unhooking mat. Must have hammered down in the Dales somewhere.

    Seating arrangements when fishing...

    Okay, apologies if this isn't in the right forum (wasn't self-evident where it should go!) I've got a chair for sitting behind rods and alarms, and I have an old Boss seatbox (for when my boy wants to get a pole out). Can anyone recommend me a small, compact seat for waggler fishing? A few...

    **Sold** Greys Prodigy Tackle Base Rucksack

    Hi guys, I'm selling this because I am downsizing the gear I take with me. These bags are absolutely brilliant if you want to take plenty of stuff with you. More storage than you can shake a stick at, comfortable, robust, nice big insulated compartment for deads or lunch! All the zips work, no...

    How on earth do you get your hands on...

    ... a Shimano Aero XR C5000?! Seems to be the least well-stocked item of tackle I have ever tried to find. Does anyone know why (other than the obvious fact that people have bought them) they're out of stock everywhere?

    Thermal gear for juniors?

    Hello! My son is eleven, and I’m looking for some thermal clothes for taking him fishing in winter. Obviously don’t want to spend a fortune as he’ll have grown out of them in about a fortnight 😬😉 Any recommendations? Al

    Facebook Marketplace

    Evening all, I found a rod I was looking for on FB marketplace from a seller with an apparently well established profile (2007). Agreed postage and paid via PayPal items and services for security. That was Wednesday. Messaged Friday to ask when it would be posted and had profuse apology and...

    **SOLD** Drennan Acolyte Ultra 15'

    Hi all, I've decided to put this rod up for sale as my spliced-tip Sphere has basically rendered it redundant. I've used the rod maybe six or seven times and it is in as close to mint condition as you can get really. The one minor blemish is a bit of light staining from red maggots on the...
