Thanks guy for the suggestions, will follow up the Guru and Dinsmore options. Mark the carp boys are using stainless steel distance casting weights which are used in sea fishing I think. Will try the plasticine option. Richard the adapted Korum combi feeder would be a perfect solution. I will...
Hi guys, I have recently joined a club which has a stillwater with a lead free rule. Not just lead shot but leads and feeders. I have sourced some open ended cage feeders made by Jaxon but no success finding any others. Does anyone know of any other manufacturers producing lead free feeders. Thanks
Thanks Richard for your reply. I do appreciate your many posts for your knowledge and clarity and this reply is no exception. I will feel more comfortable now running a line a little heavier than the rod stated rating.

Gale are you thinking of the Legermaster 1.25 TC 11ft 3in? A three piece rod with a detachable butt, sliding reel rings and threaded top eye for detachable quivers and swing tips. Have two, good rod , they have a nice soft action. I should use them more.
Thanks guys, I will get the OS map and Google earth on the case. I will leave the spade and slasher in the car boot. Will look out for working party date on the York&DAA forum.
Hi guys, this season I feel my fishing felling into a rut. I was fishing the same river, fishing the same swim and possible catching the same fish. For next season I intend to explore a new river. I have the York book and am attracted to fishing the Derwent. I will put time in towards the start...
