I would say that stren isnt the same as the daiwa line as stren is american and daiwa is japanese. Paul

Big Game is a great allround carp line you won't have any complaints with this line.Also I hear so many good reviews about power pro Paul

Had a fish drop off recently on a big T (just started using them)Not sure if its related but it does get you thinking. Paul

Nice one Chris,I enjoyed the read alot.If you've got any other relating articles let me know. Paul

What is considered a "medium action" rod We have fast action and through action,then I see terms like parabolic,compound taper,multi taper,semi fast,power progressive,I have a feeling that these are manufacturer terms.Any rod experts out there that can explain the differences. Paul :confused:

Hi James If you decide to fish chigboro coarse/carp lake.When you enter through the gate keep walking to the right of the lake untill you reach the last island,theres a swim there which is really hard to cast from(over hanging trees)but its possible.Its been a while since ive been there but nobody used to fish this swim.And I always caught there,one off the island and one down the left channel....Good luck mate

Elton Those ponds were the first place I ever fished I lived about 3 mins walk away.I too was there in the early days.Lots of Rudd and perch.Its where i had my first carp(1 1/2 pound)Also the brook (near the pipe)used to catch loads of dace,I saw the trout swim by but could never catch them.Few years back I fished the ponds and had a nice upper double,couldn't believe it! Paul

Yeah I was from Greenstead did you fish the 3 ponds there(Salary brook)? As for the Mill I don't know if you can fish it or not.Haven't fished there since I was a kid. Paul

The Mill was a great ol spot plenty people fishing it too.15 minutes on my bike and I was there.Bit of a dodgy bankside though,especially when the tide came in!

Yeah I grew up in Colchester too,i know of that place not sure if it has a new name or not Wouldn't surprise me if it did.The river colne is full of eels.
