    Crabs.

    I was getting pestered by them last year and switched to maize/sweetcorn which slowed them down

    Daiwa SS2600

    Iv used them for years, first on a floater rod for carp and for the past four years on my tidal trent rods, no probs what so ever, id happily use them on my lighter rods for the yorkshire rivers etc, the clutch is excellent and no probs with the non baitrunner quick clutch thingy.

    Leslie's insight rod question

    i think its the same one i have, it was made for chucking big feeders on rivers such as the trent severn etc, its a very powerful rod way above the average rod, the 2.25tc is no comparison with a 2.25tc barbel rod, its way more powerful, only use mine in extreme flood conditions, hope that helps.

    Litter.

    If you want to see littering on a grand scale look no further than the weir field at collingham its like fishing in the middle of a landfill site, ive been twice this year and both times its been the same, in 35 yrs of fishing never seen anything like it.

    Brolly type shelters

    Yes you can, i have the stormsheild the only fault with it is its a bit low when set up on flat ground you need a low chair, the reason its low is because they have made the two centre back ribs short so that four ribs touch the ground, now on my 60in brolly there is two ribs that are longer...

    Selfish?

    Selfish not in the slightest the guys made an effort to try and give himself an edge or maybe a better chance, anyone can do it and when we are talking about particles a bucket of hemp and maize etc once wet weighs about 25k. Only one word that comes to my mind with the word selfish in fishing...
