    another sunk and lost

    Reminds me of my first ‘barbel’ i caught on a light tip rod when i was in my teens. I hooked into the monster and battled it for about 10 minutes, i shouted “BARBEL ON” and asked my mate to bring the ‘big’ landing net, by which time a small crowd had amassed behind me to witness the capture. I...

    Drennan specialist extension

    I love mine : It feels good in the hand, will double up into equal lengths and fit in a quiver with a bottom rod if I wanted to chop and change on the day. You already said it all really! Does everything i’ve asked of it. Nice with small Roach, decent Chub & i’ve had the odd Pike to 14lb (while...

    Set of 2x Gardner TLB+ with V2 attx receiver

    It’s now a set of 2 as my mate was desperate for a single to make his a set of 3!

    Polarising Prescription Sunglasses

    Just for info: not sure if this is a country wide ‘law’ but where i work you are supplied PPE (personal protective equipment) boots, gloves & safety specs etc. There is a scheme whereby you can order prescription safety specs (not widely offered as it costs the company but it’s available if you...

    Freespirit Pike Tamers

    Thanks, i want them for bank fishing on large lakes so perhaps they’ll be well suited (all the reviews seem to think so). For boat & river i use my 10ft Drennan 2.75’s which are perfect and the price they are, i dont mind them getting knocked about on the boat or shoved through bushes on the...

    Freespirit Pike Tamers

    I’ve had a look and it instantly became obvious why i haven’t been on there for a long time…….

    Freespirit Pike Tamers

    Is there much difference in the .25lb extra? I’m tempted to go for the heavier ‘big baits’ version…..pity i can’t have a waggle locally. Sick of buying rods by description and having to buy replacements the following season. My experience is pushing me to step up but dont want a poker 🤷‍♂️

    Freespirit Pike Tamers

    Ref: Pike Tamers. I’m tempted to get a pair but have the 10ft ‘e’ class Carp rods which are lovely to use but feel slightly under gunned (more like 2.75’s?) but suit me for the smaller waters i fish. I also have the 12ft Barbel Tamers which again are lovely rods but feel like tank aerials...

    Carp landing net

    Just for info the solar tackle bow-lite is down to £69 tonight on total fishing tackle. Not used one but supposed to be a top net?

    Carp landing net

    I bought the Korda Kaizen green 42” net as it was unbelievably light (ridiculously light!) and expected it to not last long but it’s great! Very strong, well made, really rigid (and i’ll say it again) weighs almost nothing 👍

    hook packets

    I used to empty everything out of packets into lidded compartments in a tackle boxes but unless you label everything you’ve got you’re never sure of sizes etc when restocking. I now keep everything in the packets i buy them in and keep them in an EVA pouch. Easy to see what you’ve got and when a...

    Smart cast

    I subscribed for a year just to get a headstart on the shared maps locally and save time but have noticed that when i use mine it overlays the info on to the existing map (as expected) but the depths and contours are totally different than what is already there?? I can imagine slight variations...

    Anguilla book by NAC

    I find them fascinating and if i had a spare lifetime, i’d love to specialise in them but too much to do and my nightfishing days are over (pretty much!). I had a couple of seasons after them back in the day but only managed a few up to 6lb but glad i did
