Speak to Marty Mulcairn about his WVA Zander rods. These fit your criteria.

Sizing If you go for the seelands be careful with sizing they usually come up at least a size smaller than you expect. I now buy a size up and make sure the returns process is simple. The reason I now wear over trousers rather than waterproof trousers for fishing on my backside is because as...

Snugpak ventile overtrousers , come in green and blue, along with one of their ponchos are the only things that have passed the " sitting in a boat whilst it tips down all day " test.

I bought "huge hemp" from Blake's baits , absolutely perfect , split after a soak and required a quick boil to finish off. Will be my Thames Roach bait this summer and autumn. lhttp://www.blakesbaits.co.uk/

Things to remember , they were baiting an area that had resident fish, lots of them. No amount of bait in an area devoid of barbel will turn it into a barbel swim on the Thames. Some of the many Thames swims I have fished have areas within the swim that will get you bites whilst a bait in the...

Ooks and landing nets pole discussions a plenty and not a single mention of wooden rods or centre pins , what chair or what's the best boilie or even much about actual fishing. RIP TFW.

One rig species groups tend to be a bit dull.

I have had 2 pairs of seelands , keeper were the first and i liked them as winter trousers until they gave up the ghost after 5 seasons. I replaced them with a similar but lighter version for roaming but they split at the crutch very quickly. I wont get another pair but may see if harkillas are...

Gamma braid , that takes me back :) , I have been using Kryston Super Nova for as long as I can recall with no problems and that must have been since I used my last bit of gamma braid which was all I all i could get from my shop ( Frames Hendon ) I seem to recall gamma braid being a similar colour?

Use normal braid then rub superglue into the part you want stiffened. Used this method for years.

Can I just add , and i apologise if is has been said , but these scales don't work in very cold temperatures, they go haywire, not a problem now but come winter they become of little use imho. I had a very strange set of result when weighing some very decent perch in march 2012 and luckily had a...

These company's don't tend to be fake they simply re sell legitimate government issued documents, driving tests , licences are two examples. They take a profit over and above the direct sold document. It is not illegal. The site discussed here is as below, a UK registered company called Identity...

"Is night fishing allowed on the Somme" Yes , like most French rivers there is either full access depending on the time of year or certain sections where night fishing is allowed. You simply ask locally when buying your licence.

I have fished much of the Somme. I would be thinking Rudd during the day and Carp at night.
