You need to be taken to your local town square and be publicly flogged ….then made to wear a horse hair vest over the fresh wounds

Hard to find a horse hair vest these days Terry. The barbel police use it all up for mainline!

I'm more concerned that you couldn't decide whether to use a real centrepin or a fixed spool reel Terry ( smiley)After an hour of primping and preening, with recourse to a spirit level and theodolite, I attained perfection

I was rolling meat @Richard Isaacs , and when I do I tend to mix it up with far bank waggler fishing. But although I can walk for miles, since my spinal surgery (damage caused in my 20's) I can't stand still for more than 60mins without having to sit down for 15mins or so. So I found a previously productive swim, got my chair in there (with customised extended legs), took a ledger rod with me, then fished 30mins rolling, 30mins wagglering, then 15mins or so ledgering....turn and turn about. Needs must 'n all that, and it worked. PLUS ...on my second sesh using these 3 different rods I added a fourth : a lure rod (it's thrown up the bank behind my seat in the photo) as some large perch (2lb+) had been around my wading feet during the first 3 rod sesh, using the cover of my legs to ambush passing fry. So, a 4 rod, 4 method sesh. Weird, untidy, but needs must ehI’m more concerned he’s set up 4 rods for a days barbel fishing

I had to Google what a Theodolite was.
It all makes sense now.
No that's not exclusively carp anglers. I see it on all species, especially barbel lol.... and you're not a proper carp angler unless you stare, vacantly, at the fish's dorsal fin in every trophy shot. You obviously must be just a barbel angler if you look at the camera. And smile??!! For god's sake, you must be a Noddy!!
