Most memorable for me was having a pair of nightjars displaying above my head while sat next to the rods watching the water.
Got to be one of the best displays of any British birds.
Live with me forever.

Had a set for 12 months. Got them for £49.95 a reel.
Been faultless so far. Decent line lay and nothing broke.
Quite chunky with a thick bail arm.
Spare spools expensive compared to the price of the reel.

Had mine 18 months or so and well impressed.
Do everything I require.
Proper casting tool with a bit of give when needed.
Paid £240 for 3 😵
Less than half the price of one of the top end rods.

Kryston supa nova braid.
The original was perfect.
Now down to my last spool 😢

I make my own.
4oz distance lead . Screw four L shaped cup hooks (screwfix or toolstation) into the widest part of the lead at right angles,
Job done.
Use mine with a big Bertha spod rod and 50lb braid.
Cheap as chips and casts 60-70 yds no probs.

Had them a few months.
I take size 10 and that's what I got and true to size.
For a winter boot fairly light. No problems walking in them and have driven home in them when I forgot to swap back to trainers.
Decent quality and have kept my feet warm.

I picked my Aqua Armadillo up from his shop at Stapely.
Watched the lady finish it while I waited.
Still prob the best bivvy I have owned.

Early one for me.
Had heart surgery to cure my AF and it's worked.
Just getting weaned off my meds then hopefully get life back to something resembling normal.
Looking forward to pushing a loaded barrow round the lake once again 🎣

Just watched it. Nice video.
What a breath of fresh air compared to fishing in the UK.
Very jealous 👍

Stunning birds.
