After reading many of the river report threads on here, it paints a pretty grim picture all over the country, apart from the big rivers, (trent, severn? Any more?) The general opinion seems to be it's "the otters" but I'm afraid I do not believe that that is the sole reason, nor do I believe...

Hi all, has anybody had any experience with these products? My landing net handle has given up so I am in the market for a new one, I had almost decided on the drennan ss twist-lock although after reading some old threads on here it seems to have quite a few problems, whereas the chris...

hi all, have just been looking at a couple of reels but before splashing out on any was hoping for some advice or opinions. i've decided on the shimano baitrunner as that is what i have at the moment in the 6000 size but i use them for nearly everything, so i'm looking to get 2 just for...

Hi all, does anyone on here use fake baits, (caster, sweetcorn, etc.), and if so, with any success? I have used fake casters but always with real ones, never on there own. Would I be right in thinking that the barbules on barbel can taste and therefore a rubber caster or whatever would...

hi all, looking for some thoughts on pre-baiting, i know of a stretch of river that has a good head of barbel, but, gets very little or no attention from serious barbel anglers, so i assume they don't see a lot of pellets/boilies, now i intend to give this stretch some serious attention...
