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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
I've got some.
They're great when they work, luckily it's been no trouble when i've returned them twice.
The problems i've encountered are that there is trouble with the ink in the display so the number doesn't show up well enough to read. This was happening more often in winter, I took...
The past two seasons have seen me have to make a move to the lakes on the 16th for first couple of weeks of the season because I've managed to pick up hayfever somehow. Never used to suffer but now i do terribly!
I've bought a Shakespeare Mach One avon type rod for around about the £20 mark and my mate bought a Shakespear Mach One 13ft Match rod, both rods are great. Sometimes you really are just paying for the name.
