ESP Anchor Braid in brown, hands down 👍

You could always darken the cream coloured baits post-rolling with a darker liquid?

Looking to have slim full duplon handles and new reel seats put on a set of rods and am looking for recommendations. Cotswold are closest to me but I dont hear the best things so open to recommendations 👍

You need to email to get your name in the ballot that they hold at the start of each season for any available places. Been trying to get back on for 6 years now...

This, its entirely dependant on the flavours. I know that Frank Warwick (and others) used to use Solars S&O at very high levels (like 20ml/ egg) in the past...

Have used the GS crab in the past and its an excellent bait. To be fair I'd use any of their baits with absolute confidence.

He's a very shrewd businessman and has his name to arguably the biggest match fishing brand in the world, amongst other very successful companies. This is however, IMO, complete toilet. Fjuka baits, at least the match baits I've seen, are very poor and they never seem to be taken very seriously. I highly doubt these will last....

CCMoore now do Euro versions of their main baits - £30'ish for 5kg I think

Great memories fishing the city stretches on a summers evening with my dad probably 30 years ago. Clearly remember getting smashed up by what was probably a tench on the pole, haunts me to this day.
Apparently lots of small carp showing on the stretch in recent times too

Looks good, I'd also drop the talin for what its worth
