    Fox specialist 45" brolly review

    Very sturdy brolly,also very heavy and a total pain to get in and out of its sleeve. If you are fishing in one swim all day it's ok but not for the mobile angler,also not the sort of brolly you lug about in the holdall "in case of rain"

    When to strike??

    Daniel, almost certainly chub,try a light link ledger,mound some cheese paste around the hook,use a 2oz quiver,hold the rod and catch them!!! Much more fun that blanking for barbel especially at this time of year

    Peripheral noise spooking fish.

    My over excited spaniel barks quite a bit when I'm fishing and really makes no difference at all,I have my fair share of barbel and chub.Also caught some nice barbel on the Kennet when some very loud firework have been going off,vibrations are a different story and ditto shadows and...
