Hi Richard, tight lines!

Good point Robert, Only thing is that some anglers aren't that bothered with taking good quality photos. I know that if I had just caught a record breaking fish I would want to get a decent snap. Some people just don't think like that. Nevertheless, the fish is never 20lb. I'd say 14-15lb was...

fantastic! I remember accidently casting my club book into the lake when I was younger, got it back luckily!

I've got the drennan isotopes. about 10 quid. Bought them 5 seasons ago and are still glowing away. can't go wrong with them, sometimes the line gets caught round the tip, but i'm just a bit careful before I cast out. They're great value.

Not sure where you've heard that. Those Terry Hearn baits are still catching mate!

Hi Paul, I'd suggest getting a bucket bag. Trakker do a decent one as do Fox. You can take plenty of gear and bait and sit on the bucket, there's a little cushion sewn into the trakker one and it's more comfortable that you'd imagine. Only down side is if you do a lot of fishing on very...

It's all about confidence though isn't it. Confidence is key! :)

I've seen a few bad comments against it now. Each to their own I guess, but it's never let me down. When I've looked about to see if there is anything better out there, it's usually with other braid hook links that I've had snap whilst playing fish. Last season I lost a decent Barbel on the...

Without meaning to annoy Andy, I've found that the Gardener stuff parts like cotton, perhaps I picked up a dodgey spool as I have heard lots of good reveiws. Drennan sinkbraid is by far the best stuff I've ever used. If my life somehow depended on choosing the best hooklength for fishing...

Okuma Sheffield. Can't rate it highly enough. Plus you'll get change from 200

What was nicked? Was it already copyrighted?

Quite right too Steve! No matter how good the baits are, fair play to the guy for setting up his own business.

Wasn't there a thread on this in the past and it was closed down because it turned into an arena of hatred?

My mate had one was out on the weekend and it snapped at the spreader block, I'd imagine he just had a dodgey one, he was carp fishing but they were only tiny from what I saw, 4-6lb. From what I hear they're good nets. I need to replace my abu net as the mechanism where it folds down seems to be...

When it gets to winter now given that they played up in the cold over the last two seasons, I keep them indoors and when I go out I keep them in my inside pocket in my jacket. I don't know if it's because of this or that it's a new set of scales but since doing that the problem seems to have gone.
