Had a disagreement with a couple of people once on a fishing forum when dean macey caught 3 14,s from Collingham and in the same week a young lad had a 15 from the gt ouse … I argued there was more merit in the 15 than 3 14,s from Collingham weir….. I got accused of being jealous 😂

Fished kings weir for a season and half.. proper headbanger … but the rewards are there

We are fishing the same stretch and pretty much the same spots when you wasn’t using flavour rich and I was using it at low levels we were both using the exact same base mix…..and our catch returns were very similar to me it proves once a bait is established you can drop the label

Kev I don’t think an EA flavour would emit a food signal there’s no food value to it…..and it wouldn’t be in your bait long enough unless you are casting every 10 mins I use low levels in all my bait but you are right about the base mix doing all the work anyone using low value baits are making...

Exactly this …flavour is just a label

Do 50/50 base mixes work then ? Never used one can’t be using rubbish bait 😉😁

Also use gardner targets if I need a smaller hook I think they are very underrated If I need an 8 I go for Gardner talon tips

You could get the bio shellfish he sells a bombay spice pack to mix with it

Any JB base mix will be good

The TA rod sleeves are superb

Thinking anglers

Just brilliant

Fish don’t care what bait smells like otherwise we wouldn’t be using N butryic acid etc a smell is just a label ..that you would probably only need fishing the same stretch of river on a long campaign…otherwise you could use a decent base mix with no flavour and it wouldn’t make any difference...

Had two barbel seekers built by vic Gibson …..absolutely superb …if you are having them custom built at Johnson Ross state that you want vic to build them as they do use another rod builder now

Daiwa 20 whisker 25QD on my basias absolutely love them https://www.fishingtackleandbait.co.uk/Mobile/en/gb/Daiwa-20-Whisker-25QD-Reel/m-m-51991.aspx?PartnerID=279&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr8mvt6nvhQMVQpNQBh0LSw7HEAQYAyABEgKIdPD_BwE&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=UnitedKingdom

Just as an aside if you want make barrels just use one size down on the sausage … so for 18mm barrels it’s an18mm sausage rolled in a 20mm roller etc etc

I just put the top and bottom of the roller table together stick the nozzle in one of the holes and cut it off with a Stanley knife

The hardest bit was getting the 7lb barbel picture blown up then cutting it out …😂😂😂😂

It’s a cardboard cutout Reel handle looks like an ostrich egg
