25 approx 12" long, 25 9-10 inch long, would be ideal for some trotting floats. £15 posted.

It's on now ITV 4 - looks like they after barbel on the Trent, Gunthorpe. Possibly awful .....

This is a lovely rod with a relaxed `bamboo action` from a good maker. It’s in sound condition but would benefit from being spruced up – the whippings are sound but have faded from purple to greyish & the varnish has some nicks in it, mostly on the butt section. The wooden reel seat needs a rub...

Hoping there might be one in your attic - glass `particle carp` or `carp` - wouldn't mind if it's scruffy as long as it's useable. If you might help please send a message, Many thanks, Julian

Hopefully of interest to a glass rod enthusiast on here : It may be an early rod & a `special order` with the graphics on the butt. I’ve decided to put it up for sale due to lack of use & it seems a shame it isn’t being enjoyed by someone who would appreciate it. I’ve added some extra photos...

A very versatile & beautifully finished rod which was ~ £200+ 20 years ago. An old review here: https://www.fishingmagic.com/the-shimano-antares-specialist-rod/ Approx 1lb 6oz t.c. If you fish smaller rivers it would be a first class rod for your barbel, either with the quiver top or as an...

In excellent condition & a lovely light rod for chub perch or smaller barbel. A classic Avon through action. I only have one put over quiver top for it, approx 1 ½ oz as best I can judge. I would prefer collection from Ripon North Yorks, as the best courier price I can find these days is...

Lovely Simpsons rod, I've used it for chub a few times over the years, had barbel up to 7lb on it & it's been up to the job. Test curve just about 1.25lb as far as I recall, threaded tip - I have swapped from float to leger with it as well. Action is well down the lower section when under...

Very useful as a chub rod, probably not pokey enough for serious barbel fishing. Lovely action & the lighter`2` & `3` tips are ideal for stillwater - seems to be a favourite with bream anglers & the rod will handle carp up to doubles Ok in open water. A review from when the rods were released...

Hardly used & a useful tool for when the Swale or Wharfe is pushing through with extra water, or for bigger rivers. 2 quiver tips, 4oz & 6 oz. All rings & whippings perfect. Avon top never used. Original bag. Collection from Ripon only please. £65

I bought this ages ago & it's had hardly any use - the carp spot never came to fruition. I did wonder if it would suit heavy water barbel fishing for some of you on here. My local rivers don't need such a powerful rod. Ref no is ANT12275FA. I have the original bag for it. I'm at a loss to pick a...

Best news I've heard in a long time - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-65339969

Hope it's OK to post on this forum - looks interesting & starts with a look up North, focussing on the Wharfe I believe. https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/proginfo/2023/10/paul-whitehouse-our-troubled-rivers

Spotted these this morning & they look just the job for travelling light - https://www.aldi.co.uk/crane-fishing-holdall/p/811973605867000#product-reviews

Have had very few days out over the year & was hoping to get out today but the weather is really foul so stuck at home. To do something fishy thought I’d ask here for any opinions / advice: On my last 2 visits to the Ure I’ve struck into a fairly tentative `chub` bite, feel resisstance & a...

Can anyone help with selling me their old net & arms - would prefer something with a fairly open mesh. Not bothered about a few `extra` holes! Fibreglass or carbon OK. I have a strong spreader block so don't really need one with the arms. If you have something & can post please let me know...

Picked up a couple of these & it might be useful for spicing up meat - £1.49. It's tucked away in the middle bit somewhere as I don't think it's a regular line. Haven't dared taste it yet ....

Has anyone got a fullish spool of the above? Seems it's difficult to find & maybe out of production but I do find it reliable. Thanks if you can help, Julian

I'm fortunate to be able to get back to some fishing & having checked over my stuff find I'm low on these. Can anyone recommend a brand/supplier please? I've got a few of what I think are Dinsmores with a black finish & a bit of copper showing through which seem well made. Not after anything...

Can anyone advise on a decent quality flavour please? I'm totally out of date with manufacturers & see some stuff for sale on Ebay but have no idea if it's useful or not. I did use Hutchinson stuff years ago but can't see it with the cheese flavour at the monemt. It's more for winter chub paste...
