There is a Baitworks video on a small canal in Belgium indeed.
I know exactly where it is as i live about 1.5h away from it..
Been very busy over there with UK anglers, which the locals are not really happy with.
But don't let that put you off. Plenty of other canals over here in Belgium.
And don't ignore the canals in the north of France!
Darrell Peck has a Korda video on Youtube about fishing a canal over there.
Short-ish drive from Calais as well.
Fished it myself a few years ago. 👍

Personally i love my Mini Micron X's!
Bought them as a spare set when they came out about 5 years ago.
They seem to be the only alarms i use nowadays, even though i still have mk1 Delkim Txi's, Nevs and ATT's. 🤷

Using a set Mini Micron X's for about 3 years now and i can't fault them.
Haven't used any of my other sets of alarms since. 👍

Recently received 2 of the new ESP nets/spreader blocks.
Fitted them to my Cotswold Rods 2-piece 8ft landingnet handles and the combo is simply perfect! 👍👍👍

I'm using a set of Quickdraw 10ft 3.25lbs rods for nearly a year now.
Had a play with the 3.5lbs first but found them slightly too stiff.
The 3.25's are just perfect!
Still punching out solid bags 80-90yds with 18lb Syncro mainline no problem.
Had fish to 56lbs on them so far. 👍

Got my answer in a pm.
The infill options both fit the old V2 and new 100 Brolly.
Thanks!

Apart from a V1 Tempest full system i also own a Tempest Brolly V2.
Does anyone know if the zips on the Tempest V2 Brolly are the same as the ones on the latest
Tempest 100 Brolly?
The dimensions of both the V2 as the new 100 are exactly the same, so would like to get the mozzi front and full infill front for the V2, but these are hard (if not impossible) to find nowadays over here in Belgium.
Only the new Tempest 100 Brolly options.
So all depends on the zips used.

Following...
I live in Belgium only 30mins away from our "famous" canals!
Still i like to stay far away from them because they're way too busy with foreign anglers.
I search for solace about 120 miles down south...

On the other hand, i do run a quite well known pub in Belgium for UK anglers on their way from Calais towards the Kempisch canal.
Junction 15a/Haasdonk on the E17.
Pub called "Ons Café".
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
