It does seem BFW is getting s bit too elitist, nothing wrong with having aspirations on owning good gear be it tackle or clothing. But we do seem to be obsessed with high end gear when all things considered you really don't need to spend a lot to fish.
Anyone new to the sport looking in here would likely feel inadequate and yet for under £200 any newcomer could be good to go, including barbel. Looking at just a few years back, with the Barbel close up videos the gear was good but not tarty. They managed OK.
Looking at the posts on here it's s mostly around gear what I enjoy are the stories the exploits the triumphs and the disasters, Howard where are you?
