hi guys....jus wondering if anyone knows where i can buy a spare section 6 for a shimano technium xta 1300 ....tried a few local dealers without much success ,,would appreciate any help on where to lay my hands on one....i will try very hard not to stand on this one thx

hi jj and welcome to anglers net the best advice i can give you is buy a feeder rod and a coarse reel...you can get both new for not much money...reels go from say 12 to 45 quid...a cheap feeder rod you can get for 20 to 40 quid...go into your local tackle dealer,,,i,m sure he will put you right !! all you need then are a few hooks and small feeders ...these are used to put your ground bait out beside your hook bait...when feeder fishing always try to put your feeder in the same place every cast......thus keeping any fish you have attracted in a small area !! as for the shannon pre-baiting a swim the night before is sometimes the only way to get them bream.....it aint the river it used to be . and i would still advise you to go and talk to your local tackle dealer...i,m sure he will give you a crash coarse on feeder fishing,,,,,after that its up to the gods enjoy your stay in our lovely country best regards mark

had several good catches this summer on small strawberries....one particular day nothing was working well till we switched to strawberries the difference was amazing...the carp love em !! trying not to eat them through the day is the hard part...

your local tackle dealer i would think is the best place to buy your maggots....store them in a cool dark place,,the colder the better..ie the fridge lol not sure about the mail order thing...wont they die !!! they need air to breathe.....

good stuff.... knowing his luck...he was gay as well...lol

plesure to help...just a final word..when you download them and i use them all,cause some pick up different ones than others ...there is a update button on them all...keep them updated !!! you should be ok after that....i did a friends laptop last week and found nearly 900 different spyware malware(and several virus) files on her computer...the computer came with the lastest norton antivirus !! enough said...

toyboy..lol you woundnt be that lucky huh as for your virus thingy...not sure what kind of infection u have lyn but whatever you have in your system yure still gonna need a anti virus or spyware program that can run and pick it up and finally remove it,,,,,ive had my fair share of both and have always been able to remove them with free programs on the net !! once you have these progams run them weekly ..they pick up most things....heres a list of a few free ones avgfree(antivirus) antivir pe(antivirus) ewido(spyware malware) spybot(spyware) and spyware blaster.....and i use processguard which will stop things attacthing themselves to your registry...these are all free and work far better than some you pay good cash for i.e norton etc ....hope this helps best regards mark

true jeepster.... .i kinda mentioned that but i think she should wait for hubby to come back... bye the way yure avatar is scaring my kids.....

have you not got a spyware program you can run to pick it up and remove it.....ie spybot ,ewido, avg , all free...they pick up most things !

thx ducktape.....we do fish some of the smaller canals coming of the ban...but really looking for new venues during the winter months....rivers lakes or otherwise !! spent along time last year driving round looking for new places with little success....some of the old haunts we used to go to now dont fish...will keep trying anyway mate
