Very sad news.
Being a Loddon fisher our paths crossed on a few occasions and we always had a good chat about how the fishing was going. The Loddon blessed him with some lovely looking barbel during the late summer months.
My condolences to his family.
RIP John
Steve,
I've been using this one for years now and never had a problem. Seen plenty of big barbel and pike in it, but not so many recently I must add.

Shop around as you might find it cheaper.

ps. I bought...
Depends what size lures you are chucking, reel size and stiffness of rod.
I would step up your trace and braid strength regardless Cliff. Those hooks won't bend out on too easily on 30lb braid/20lb trace unless you are chucking small lures and targeting jacks.
Better to ask than to find...
Cliff, loads of lure info on other websites related to lure fishing if you're looking for advice. LAS, Pikers Pit are your best bet.
It's a slippery slope mind, this predator fishing malarkey so beware ;). With the Wye and Severn on your doorstep, I'm extremely jealous.
Float or sunken float paternoster will stop the crays stealing your bait.
Make sure you use an up-trace and rotten bottom so you don't get any bite-offs or tethered pike. :)
A little white lie might make them think Steve.
Just say you've had twice as many barbel and carp as them using hemp and caster, and you've found big beds of hard boillie and pellet spook the fish. If they take it on board, then you wont have to push them in.
Shameless :p
I'll pop down in the afternoon with my daughter. I had to convince her it's too warm for pike, so she'll be armed with the float rod and pin. :D
