if anyone has 1 or 2 of these still kicking around I'd be interested in them. Green blanks, made by Normark and called the "RM Long distance carp", I've got one and would like ideally 2 more but I know they're old by todays standards; 15+ years. If anyone can help.

I found this if it's any good to you, if the e-mail isn't working you could always source a telephone number and speak to a real person http://www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk/pdf...rhunter2005.pdf

You'd do worse than contact cemex angling, they have a web site.

Hi, I'm looking for 1 or 2 of the Ritchie Mcdonald models in 12 ft 2.75 test,green blanks if anyone could help much appreciated. Thanks, Nobby.

Saw the bait boat, good luck to the buyer, best not put it down in the grass come Autumn!! The syndicate lake looks like the sort of place best avoided at all costs, a barren hole in the ground.

The pond where I first cut my fishing teeth held pike and try as we might, they just would not get caught on lures,lives or deads so much so that it became accepted fact. THE way to target them was bayer perlon 4.4 lb ,float rod and size 8 hook with a lobworm. All captures were hooked in the scissors, no trace just mono all the way through. I guess we could have kept one rod out with a fish bait and trace on but nothing ever came of it when that method was tried by anybody.

I am tempted to suggest that the flavour has very little to do with the result. If you only fished with one flavour it stands to reason that when you catch it will be on that flavour.Had you tried 2 rods with different flavours you may have had different results.Bait can be such a complicated subject, and flavour is but a minority role to play.Unless you insist on making your own baits,which can be a mind bender in itself, you will be better off contacting one of the many bait companies out there,( and there are many more than the big,well known players) and talk about your prediciment along with shelling out for 5kg of freshly rolled.This would cost around £35, if you try catcherbaits or Destiny baits and buy 10kg you be paying in the region of £50, a chunky sum but a lot of decent bait, however you need the freezer space to store them.bait is an ongoing enigma for many, with all due respect, there is more to it than flavour.

Thanks Greg

thanks Greg, any further info on permits and availability/sellers,stretches, is it day ticket, or club?, I understand this guy aint short of the shilling, he wants an oppurtunity to angle, I doubt that cost has priority over the chance to have a cast. My involvement goes as far as helping someone out. Anyways, thank you for your efforts.

Evening gentlemen, as above, does anyone have information on trout/salmon fishing in and around this area? It's in Co. Cork I understand, my (non-fishing) pals' boss wants to know if any oppurtunities are available and not being a fluff flinger myself ,I thought I would avail myself of those with the knowledge and perhaps personal experience. Thanks for reading this, Steve

I rate catcherbaits, I've only used the crab and fruit version but it works so no complaints there and Frank sell them at a decent price too.

Can anyone help me? I'm looking for 'opti polos' and 'opti bolts' as made by Solar tackle in the 80's. Cheers all.

Good day gents, a quick question for you: does anyone know where I can get 1 or 2 Penn surmaster 70 reels from without paying silly money? or , does anybody have 1 or 2 of same they would like to sell? Cheers.

So how many of these perches weight 5lbs then?

excellent, thanks.
