Thanks for the advice guys, looks like I'll be reversing the braid and re-newing the mono..

Mainly fish the Kennet, only had a couple of dozen outins over the last couple of seasons, so not had a lot of use, just not too sure if the braid or line would deteriorate on the reel??

Just having a general 'spring clean and service' and was wondering if I should re-spool my reels with new braid and mono? The braid's been on for around 3 seasons, and the mono for two, any advice would be much appreciated...

Cotswold Aquarius Roamer Quiver for me, had mine for three seasons now, still as strong and sturdy as the day I got it. The Cotswold range is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, and it British made. Roamer Quiver | Rod Holdalls | Carp & Specialist | Angling | Cotswold Aquarius

Mark Tunley builds a great 11'6" 1.5tc Stalking rod on a Harrison blank. A fantastic rod with a sensitive feel, but plenty of back bone when needed.

Cheers guys, some great alternatives to play with. Graham, you still using the same mixed we used when we was on the bank a couple of years back? Thought you might have a new magic recipe you'd like to share!!!

Any suggestions on a decent feeder mix for small rivers? I've been using all different 'off the shelf' mixes over the past couple of years, but woul like to stick to a proven recipe. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm after some good recommendations for a weekend away in mid November on the Hants Avon or Stour, or somewhere on the Wye. I would preferably like accommodation within walking distance of the banks, any suggestions would be much appreciated. Paul

Is anyone staying in local B&B? If so, any chance of the details. Cheers Paul

I'm just waiting to collect my new 10' Harrison Stalker from Mark Tunley...I'll let you know how it performs.

Pmsl :)

I'm with you Haydn... My missus bought me a Pure Talk Sport...It's just a bit bigger than a mobile phone, has a built in re-chargeable battery which lasts for at least 3 good sessions, and has a crystal clear reception. I snapped the ariel off whilst packing up, back last year, I emailed Pure...

That's wishful thinking Paul :D

The gear ratio's the same, so unless you intend travelling very light I don't see it being a major problem Steve, It will certainly be a lighter option to your Pike reel. Paul

IMO, you just need to scale down to a 5000 size, if you like the Shimano, you wont go far wrong with their 5000 Super Baitrunner XTE-A RRP. £149.99 This web site www.poingdestres.co.uk does them for £92.99 Or keep an eye on Fleebay where you should pick one up for around £80-£85...

How about..from March 15th through to June 16th a new season is put in place by the EA.....Cray Catching..... I'm certain it would help with spawning during early summer!!

Thanks for the advice guys....I spoke to Glyn last Friday, he's preppin some boilies and paste up for me as we speak, will be picking it up from him over the next couple of days ready for a couple of outings later in the week. I'll let you know how it goes!!! Good luck to everyone for the new...

Ordered mine on 20th April, and still not seen them....think I'll have to go via the paypal route to get my money back........Just a bit P'd off as I thought I had allowed plenty of time for the start of the season. Have to start looking for an alternative now!!!

I've just read on another site that some clubs along the Kennet are allowing Crays to be trapped. Just wondered if anyone can clarify this, as I thought it had to be licensed by the EA ?? Tight lines, and good luck for the much awaited new season. Paul
