Well, not quite an apron, but something to put maggots or casters in. Could someone recommend a brand, having trouble finding any. Cheers

Anyone kind enough to direct me to any day ticket stretches. I live in Manchester so dont know preston area too well. Thanks

Hi all, Never fished for them before but I m going to have a go for them over the next few seasons when conditions dictate. The waters I will be fishing don't require huge casts 30-40 yards being the furthest, with much of the fishing done closer than this. Carp being high duobles to mid...

I just read something that in a carp mag (im not a carp fisherman), and I wondered if someone could clear up what the thing I read actually means. When referring to casting out a decent distance, the anglers said he "likes to cast with the biggest drop possible, 8ft if I can get away with it"...

Hi I dont know if it exists but does any company make a black or very dark braid, but not a coated one?

but before I got my hands on it the drag had been taken out. One spool, no decal on the side. £25 +p&p :o

Hello, I guess ive already asked the main question in the thread title, BUT, all the cheaper reels Ive found thus far, (okuma etc) have had a small spool diameter and i really dont like this. So if anyone nows of a cheaper model with a nice diameter spool Id be very appreciative of the...

Hello all, I fish a small river for its chub but last year I decided to see if I could catch the barbel from it that are definitely in there (what people have told me). On my third evening session I caught one of 9lb along with my PB chub of 5lb12oz. I fished the same tactics for another...

Ok, this may sound like a weird question but its one that always annoys me. Hoe do I know (when fishing stillwaters) what type of water Im on. I mean, when does a pond become a lake, or a Mere? Is it regional do people call the same thing something different? I sometimes wish I could shut by...

Hello, Don't know if this fits here, but I have been making pole floats and have countless natural balsa ones. I have been using a super tough floor varnish to protect and seal. Works a treat. However, Im fed up of colourless ones and would like to know is there any way of colouring the...

Ok, two questions here that are linked. The shallower runs over gravel with the streamer weed that split the deeper sections of the river, how shallow would it have to be for a say 5-7lb barbel to NOT think about hanging about there.... make sense? Secondly how soon after these sections...

messed this up please delete

Ok, so, I fish a relatively lightly fished river and due to my success (or lack of) from a roving approach, I want to target one or two swims for a few sessions to see if there are any fish present. My predicament is feed hemp/4mm halibut pellets, but what to go with for hookbait? Would you guys...

anyone else being defeated by this annoying thing? :D Any old wives tales or remedies, as i can survive for about 30 minutes outside at presnt, before becoming a swollen, sneezing mess :eek:

Hi, Having trouble sticking on a decent 8lb mono. Could some of you lads suggest some brands you swear by? Thanks a lot

Hello, This is going to sound a littlestrange I think, but if it doesnt, then ignore that. Im looking for a unhooking mat for smaller species, say fish up to about 8lb (tench, chub, roach, you get the picture), so I would ideally like the mat to be smaller in size, any suggestions? A...

As in the title, its brand new and never been used. 2 Piece of course... Acquired it thinking I would need it, but I don't. £75 ONO. Not taking into account postage if required :rolleyes: PM me!

I have been trying to catch some of the ghost carp that live in a large mill pond. They're easy to locate in amongst the other commons and mirrors, and its been difficult with the temperature being all over the show, but, as yet, they are proving infuriating. I've had commons/mirrors shallow...

Hi fellas, Quick question, does anybody know where I can purchase a glass tip section or donkey top so i can make a nice sensitive tip for chub? i have a korum neoteric 12' quiver and the carbon tips are fine but not for mr chub. want to make one or two push in's out of said material but...

Hello, I know not strictly barbel orientated (more finicky chub), but can anybody share any tips/places to buy so I can make a really sensitive quiver tip? Any material recommendations also? Never made a tip before before so sorry if this all seems vague and amateurish! :D Thanks in advance...
