Didn't hear of many rays til a few years ago, they seem to be there in good numbers now. Always surprises me there are so many in the river. Have you ever fished the river round there? I keep meaning to tag along with my mates and give it a go one day as they seem to favour it over some of...

Nice session. A few mates have been fishing the river between shingle street and Orford alot recently, seems there's some decent rays about, but as you say, the dogfish are everywhere and in great abundance.

I've used 2 hook clipped rigs made with 60 lb mono a few times when I've been fishing and had a chance or a ray or huss taking a bait, proved to be a very useful rig a few times, had guess upto double figures on them. Imo the main limiting factor on two hook rigs with big fish is the crimps, I...

I prefer using grip leads myself. The tangles can be avoided to some extent with thicker line and less components. I use 60lb rig body and snoods on all my up and over/pulley rigs and keep components to a minimum. Also, the clips you're using may be causing more trouble than they're worth if...

As others have said, abit more info on things would help alot with recommendations. I use a heavy spinning rod (150g) and small fixed spool (4500) for all my boat stuff from uptiding to wrecking. That's my personal preference though and may not suit you in the slightest. Do you have your own...

Absolutely stunning fish, well done!

This may sound a daft question, but will you be sitting on a box or chair, or will you be sitting on the ground? Only asking as I've got the Vass 175 summer and winter (lined) versions, both great bits of kit, but they're not very thick material and can puncture easily if your abit weighty and...

I use a mono shock leader (60lb) with braid mainline (65lb) and use an FG knot, takes a little while to learn but can be tied in a couple of minutes once you've learnt it. An FG knot definitely goes through the eyes a little smoother than my dad's rods with Albright knots and mine collect a...

Great write-up and pics. Looks a lovely day to have been out there.

Do you mean Great Yarmouth in Norfolk? If so, I'd be inclined to go to one of the local tackle shops to ask for some up to date advice. There is a tackle shop in Gorleston (the other side of the river).

I use a swivel with a bead each side, but as deep sea John said, I much prefer up and over rigs myself.

That's a good session, nice pics too. Well done on the lobster, that's a beauty!

https://www.talkseafishing.co.uk/forums/threads/penn-live-liner-reels.1660/#post-73104 That's my views on a 4500 liveliner spinfisher. Slightly smaller reel but absolutely bomb proof and a good little reel that's running strong 2 years after I got it.

Ah, I see, your profile says different 🤣 As Kevin says, they would post if needed, that's where I bought a load of my gear from before (rods/reels/etc...), I prefer to collect but they have posted to me before. The thing is, you need to hold or even better, cast a rod to get a feel for it so...

Your only about half hour away from ABC on Anglesey, I'd drop in there for a chat and see what they'd recommend, they have alot of rods on display from different manufacturers. Or give them a call to see what they've got on display and see if it's worth the trip up to have a look around. I got...

I've had a CTS 656, a couple of black and red scora 80 fixed spools and a white and black scora 80. Of all those reels, the white and black scora 80 is the only one still going and in one piece (hasn't been used for about 4-5 years). The multi was used abit and sold to a mate as I just don't...

I've never used a tronix rod or even held one, but if they're anything like their terminal tackle I've used over the years, I'd avoid like the plauge. I've only ever bought a couple of their products as they've always just fallen apart. Swivels breaking and cascades falling apart while...

Got to agree with topwater on this, and I own a pair of the 6&bait mk FS 14' rods! They're good rods for the money, and they truly are a good rod, but they just don't excell at anything. They have good enough bite detection (can see a dab bite at 100yds, with braid). They cast well. They even...

Not sure if they're for sale if I'm honest, think he wants to use them for light bass fishing rods himself. The retail price was over £200 a rod!

They're all genuine rods, come with bags and original shop price tags on them. They were all bought from a shop closing down sale, well I think it's an administration sale from a business that went under. He also got some original mk1 6&bait rods plus a couple of 4&bait rods. Just curious as...
