My Korum Ruckbag, which is several seasons old, has given up the ghost. It is still in fairly good nick but the long zip on the main compartment is knackered. I was going to just go for a straight replacement but have read some negative reports on the latest incarnation of the ruckbag and also...

My 15 year old Sundridge bib & brace has finally given up the ghost and I am in the market for some new kit. Does ayone have personal experience of these...

Had an email from google today saying some of my passwords had been compromised. I have run various checks and it appears to be genuine. I am advised to change the passwords for two sites, one is BFW and the other is a fishing club I am a member of. Not sure if this is just me or also a problem...

The first 12 editions of Catch Cult magazine all in great condition. SOLD Thanks for looking. Steve

I am after an 11ft Fox Duo Lite twin tip 1.75/2.25lb model number ARD051. This is the one without the white tips. Anyone have one in good nick that is surplus to requirements? Cheers Steve

I apologise in advance for starting another landing net thread. I have contributed to these discussions in the past but I have yet to identify my perfect landing net for barbel. I have more nets than the Grimsby trawler fleet but not one of them is perfect for barbel fishing. I have recently...

My barbel rods are in need of replacement due mainly to the fact that the rod rings are breaking with increasing regularity. Both rods have single leg rings that inevitably get bent backwards and forwards when kept made up in a quiver. Metal fatigue sets in and the one leg eventually snaps off...

I am off to sunny Florida in a couple of weeks. Should I take a shedload of cash to stock up in tackle shops over there or is it just as cheap to buy at home? Thinking of things like line, lures, flyfishing gear etc. Cheers Steve

I know the topic of radios has come up before and I bought a Pure Move on the back of others recommendations. That was a couple of years ago and it has gone on the blink. Instead of crystal clear music/talk I get a farting noise on all stations. Assuming it is knackered, is the Pure Move still...

Picked up a sack of hemp from Hinders today and was told that I might need to make it last. Apparently the Chinese aren't growing it for export any more and they expect supply to drop and prices to rise. :eek: Steve

My cheapo plastic gardner sausage gun has given up the ghost and I am in the market for an aluminium model. The gardner XT guns are a bit pricey - does anyone use one of the much cheaper aluminium guns being flogged on ebay and elsewhere? Are they any good? Cheers Steve

I am after a Speedia Wide drum in good condition. Does anyone have one they want to move on? Cheers. Steve

My Jennings Ultrasport 25's have given up the ghost after years of accurate service. Sadly they are no longer available - does anyone have any experience of these scales that appear to be the replacement model...

Picked up a nice Canon G5 a few months ago and have been taking some great pictures. Tried using it for self take shots this weekend but annoyingly the fish is ever so slightly out of focus. The sensor seems to focus on me rather than the fish. Is there a way round this? I am using the auto...

My wife's sister's husband's brother has a day a week on the Test at Timsbury. The heavy hints I have been dropping have finally borne fruit and I have been offered a day in June with a beat to myself for the whole day :). Whilst I am a confident and sometimes effective fluff chucker I have...

I am at the early stages of planning a family holiday to Cuba. Forced myself to watch Nobson Green last night and would dearly like to incorporate a day or two of fishing for tarpon or bonefish. I have no idea where to start planning. If anyone can point me in the right direction and give me an...

I have a relatively new Drennan twistlock 3m landing net pole. Just recently it has stopped locking. I have taken it apart and cleaned the inside of the tube but no luck. I suspect that I am not the first to have this problem. Any ideas anyone? Cheers. Steve

Nipped up to Farmoor Reservoir last night after work. The buzzer fishing at this time of year can be fantastic and I had a lovely evening fishing the floating line. I came home with my four fish limit and the bbq will be fired up later today. For anyone who hasn't fished Farmoor it can be a...

The Big One is taking place in Farnborough on the 20/21st Feb. Never been - is it worth a visit? Steve
