I've trained him to do it behind your bivvy, then we'll get you banned and stick rods in your vacant plot! Edgy! 👍

Right I've had it with this Kev's corner business - back off, I have a dog and not afraid to set him loose! So you better have some snacks or be pestered to death! 🤬

Seriously though these are a great design, so simple 👌

Is Kev's corner! 🤪

Just fitted my new rod locks ready for spring - hopefully no more flying rods 😆

Can you not get 3 handles off another Daiwa that's similar - may cost less than chasing one rare handle?

Been a great watch as always, Mat is a great all rounder including the fly, not many do everything let alone well. Didn't know until recently that Mick Brown is the only paid full time pike angler, amazing!

Yeah I do think the one's I bought would have caught fish and maybe more than usual when they were fresh with active ingredients. I just tend to fish match the hatch more often that not and nothing more important than where you put it anyway.

Looks decent 👍

The Fortis Tundra salopettes are the best clothing item I've bought recently, waterproof and very warm indeed. I bought the matching coat but in hindsight I'g go for their marine jacket instead as I cannot see me using the Tundra coat as I'm already warm enough in the salopettes. Already got lightweight waterproof trousers and jacket but would look at the Fortis Marine stuff if I didn't 👍 Whilst the Catchdry coat may be good, for me personally it's too long and bulky - cant see that being suitable for days roving the river or carp stalking, but were all different. Fortis looked at the serious competition (Geoff Anderson) and made stuff that probably almost matches but at a much lower pricepoint, serious clothing for serious anglers I'd say so you get what you pay for, but the pricepoint of Fortis is much lower than Grundens and Geoff Anderson. Serious carp clothing was long overdue so well done Fortis I say.

Whilst I should play it down - last 3 trips were successful to a degree and all fish taken on Halibut Pellet wafters that barely smell of anything and very dull. Proves the point really, who are the special specials attractive to? US!

Brill thanks mate 👍

I'm not looking at something for pro's zooming long distances - just to be able to zoom in on something 100-200 yards away or maybe a bit further but not crazy. We get deer on the islands so would like to be able to get those for instance.

Hi mate, Looking at getting a longer lens for nature shots - are there any rules on this? Cheers

I bought some special cured special special pop-ups cost 20 quid a pot, bought 2 types - both are in the garage along with many other pots of retired baits. I now just go for Northern Specials for anything coloured or the matching brown baits for my freebies. The special specials may have worked but I didn't like the look when they arrived - felt like a mug for paying it tbh
