Thanks all, I will look into your suggestions

Hello. I'm looking for a rod builder in kent to bring my gb3 back to life. I've heard there is the bearded builder but can't find any details for him. I don't particularly want to use Rob hemple as he's the wrong side of kent

I use the xps longcast and have done for a number of years. I think it's a really nice line, smooth and supple and decent strength. I use .22 on my shimano ultagra 5500 size reels, .28 on the 14000 size. .30 on the penn fathom 12s and .35 on the casting specials. Ive used all sorts over the...

You can get a penn 525 mag4 on ebay. Brand new for 105quid. (That's with the 5quid discount)

They are on offer at veals at the moment. 124quid. I've got one, had it a few years and it's as what you would expect ..solid, heavier than a shimano 14000 , but that never put me off. They don't come with a spare spool. Everything is sealed to keep the saltwater out ( and it's worked). I find...

.. So much fishing gear is subjective to the user. It just wasn't a rod for me at that time.

Agree on the floatation suits, remember when imax came into fashion and you could tell who was a beginner as they would be on the beach in the brightest orange day glow attire. I'm glad manufacturers have gone to sensible colours now. I once bought a diawa tripod telescopic thing in the...

With my sensational angling skills i caught a stingray on a secret north Kent beach which wasn't so secret cos it was full of people sunbathing. 50cm across its wings.

Last fishing adventure of the week Leysdown... Just cos I can take my dogs for a good run out. Wasn't expecting anything so just used 1 rod. Ended up with 3 make rays all about the same size. The last one half hour after high and stuck to the sea bed most of the way in.

They definitely have. The sea was a great colour.... When it clears over the weekend or so I'm sure the big hounds will venture in

Haha I do, I'll have to take them out again this weekend to see if the yuki catches as it was 3nil (and missed bite) to the italcanna 🏆

Better ray pic

Yes 2 trips in a week! Waited a few days to see, the wind go from east (ergh) to south (YESS) Had 1 dog. 1 thornback and 1 pup hound. The ray came after I missed a classic ray bite, next cast and the bait got hit, literally going going going like a train... Lucky I was paying attention. A...

Fishing trip! A local one to blow away the winter cobwebs. Bartons Point... Cold east wind. But winkled out a ray each

Wasn't the failed UK rocket was it?

I'm with shirleycodling here. I think the pulley is the lazy man's rig, which is why I guess the 5min of fame youtube hero's push them all the time😂 a simple trick to make the rig a little more effective (in my opinion) is to semi fix it, by adding a bit of telephone cable (old skool!) to act...

Haha he discovered it from hours of YouTube fishing ?

We were actually going to head to Chesil for a long day trip on Tue but something came up which meant we had to stay a little more local. Be good to catch up sometime if we can, I remember you telling me last year about the beach fishing at Brighton in late Oct/early Nov, lots of flats in the...

Thanks Pete, it's his month when he comes out of hibernation ?
