    Korum waist trotting tray, Is this a good or dumb idea?

    I’ve been thinking for a while now and after watching several Korum product release bundles that they are designing stuff, which just has no real and logical application purpose. The folding bait waiter is a classic example. Instead I just place my bomb proof Drennan bait waiter through the...

    Wanted,13ft Drennan Acolyte compact plus🎣

    You can effectively still buy one, by asking your local tackle dealer to order it as spare sections. Within the last year, a mate broke his butt section and ordered a replacement.

    Mini Baitrunners

    Ended up buying a pair of these and seem ok for the money with good line lay: https://www.fishingrepublic.co.uk/16048396/daiwa-emcast-br-lt-2500-19-16048396 Don’t think I’d spend £90 to £100 per reel however, as some outlets are selling them for. I’ll be using them on light quiver rods for...

    Hemp

    These are ok for hemp, not the largest and by no means the smallest hemp seed that I’ve ever had: https://maltbysstores.co.uk/products/hemp-seed

    Mini Baitrunners

    I’m looking for a couple of mini baitrunners, which are smaller than my Shimano 4000D’s, so ideally in 2500 to 3000 reel size. Does anyone have experience of this reel in size 2500: https://www.daiwasports.co.uk/product/specialist/19-black-widow-br-lt Or any other similar sized baitrunners...

    Thames water petition

    The Lib Dems constantly bang on about it, so they'll get my vote..... I just don't understand why Keir Starmer, has never asked a single environmental based question during his time as the opposition leader? Not once has he raised the subject of sewage or the privatised water companies, during...

    Thames water petition

    JRM is playing games here, as is doesn’t explain how New Labour, Tory/Lib Dem coalition and then successive Tory governments, just sat back and let them get away with it and without proper regulation. The combined private water company debt went from zero to £60+ billion. It’s the biggest...

    Are Shimano baitrunner D and OC spools interchangeable?

    They are currently like rocking horse sh*t, so hence the original question.

    Kev Baines 1.5lb 11’ Specialist No 1 - My fav Barbel rod. Acolyte Plus float rod, will cover most things on the float.

    Spam - or not?

    I now use the Sainsbury’s Chopped Pork and Ham, it’s also much cheaper than Spam and is very similar in texture.

    Link ledger tips

    If we are talking link ledger in the true sense, I’ve never personally felt the need to do it and when fishing for both Chub and Perch on rivers. I instead use a free running rig, incorporating both the lightest lead and slow taper quiver tip that I can get away with. For close in work, the...

    New Drennan float rods

    Drennan released a social media post today, where a guy who caught a 3lb Grayling, was using a ‘prototype 17ft Acolyte rod‘. Now assuming this is a stepped up version, I will definitely be interested

    Save the River Wye

    I'm also not getting this E.A. only link, as it was Fish Legal who challenged NRW a couple of years back re phosphate pollution on the Wye, as a result of the spreading of poultry muck as fertiliser in Powys. You may recall that NRW came back quoting data from 2009 and 2015, stating there was no...

    Beaver reintroduction success.

    I'm generally all for rewilding schemes, I think its fantastic, when we live in one of the most nature depleted countries on the planet. Bring it on! This said I see nothing but conflict ahead with Beavers, as in the UK we have no true wilderness (and that includes Scotland) or significant...
