Thanks, Ill take the advice and go to a shop. I used a pole for the first time last season. I went for an 11m shakespeare Zeta (very much a starter pole) to see if i liked it. Well, i did, but now i want something a little better although i cant afford thousands of pounds. The 11m was ok but extremely heavy and flexible at 11m. Hoping to get something a little lighter and stiffer.

Hi all, Im thinking about treating myself to a new pole for next season but im not sure what to get. I want something a least 13m, preferably 20/18 rated and no more than £400. Ive been looking at the Maver Deliverance. Anyone got any suggestions as to what i should get? Thanks.

I recently bought John Wilson masterclass (i think) and Bob Nudds Tackle Box (i think thats what its called). I wouldnt bother with the john wilson one. but the bob nudd one is quite good, it covers canal fishing, river fishing and pole fishing.

Hi all, Can any of you recommend a good long (15-16ft) rod primarily for river fishing (so something not too heavy). Obviously i dont really wanna pay ridiculous prices either. cheers.

errrr im going on Saturday guys if anyone has any bit of info at all. Thanks.

Anyone give me the lowdown on Wetlands? got a match this weekend. thanks.

Has anyone fished this water? I was thinking of going after some bream tomorrow. Can anyone give me any pointers as to the best pegs, depths, methods etc. Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a tackle fair at Doncatser exhibition centre this weekend? Someone said they thought there was. Can anyone confirm? Ta.

Which is the best way to kill maggots? Ive heard either freezing or scalding. I need them for tomorrow....so which is the quickest and what do i do? Thanks.

Ive always used loop to loop and never once has it let me down......ive been let down by badly tied hooks etc but never the loop to loop.

Bump. Sorry.

Is there anywhere on teh net where i can buy this in quantity? I was thinking of getting 20 bags or something. Surely i can get it cheaper if i buy in bulk.

Hi all, Does anyone know how ths is fishing lately? What are the baits etc etc. Thanks.

Has anyone used these? would you recommend them? How do they attach to the hook? Cheers.

I always use the "Ton Up" brand of pellets, both sinkers and expanders. I used to just squeeze the expanders under water to get them to sink but now i use a pellet pump. I have to admit, i also held off buying a pellet pump because i thought they were just a gimmick but i wouldnt be without mine now. Perfect sinkers every time.

Hi all, its been a while. Got a match on Clattercote res this weekend so could do with some advice. How has it been fishing lately? Whats the best methods to use? Baits? Ta in advance.

First ever time fishing it this weekend. Any tips?

Best way is to take a few maggotts (always!).....then ifyouve blanked, just toss a line in with a couple of maggotts and catch a roach or gudgeon.....then you havent blanked

I was thinking along the lines of the Fox toss-pots.

Has anyone had any success in making these (out of kinder surprise eggs or anything)?? Would appreciate some tips on how to make one. Thanks.

Could do with some info if you have please.

Well this one was from the middle of Sheffield city centre....go figure?

Went down to the river last night, caught my first ever Dace and my first ever Grayling! Was so pleased to have caught a grayling. Anyway thats it....just thought id share it )

Thats this weekends venue.....looking for any info on tactics, bait, pegs etc. Thanks in advance.

Had a walk to the river yesterday and took 4 or 5 slices of bread with me. Started throwing bits in and you could see the fish coming and taking them. It was amazing. Roach, trout and chub. Im gonna go down tonight after work and trot some bread flake down. Anyone got any advice for fishing in a weedy area? Its that long thin grren stuff that just wafts in the current. Will i be ok trotting through this? Ta.
