So 2 years on and wondered how you got on with these cheap Diem's. Ive picked up a new pair for £10 so did they do the job?

Looking for some advice on footwear to keep my tootsies warm. Had my Merrell walking boats on at the weekend with 3 pairs of socks and my twinkles were a tad chilly.

Any decent footwear out there that people are finding beneficial?

Some good debate here guys. Thanks all for the comments, you have stopped my itch and Ive decided to give them an overhaul and stick with them for now.

Good to also see some people opening up about their mental heath etc. Its good to talk.

I was given a Camo Fox one for free. Not only will my jetboil not stand up straight I struggle to find it. Took the cover off and found it again.

Ive used ATTs for years and still love them and they have never never let me down. However I see less of them on the banks nowadays and they are starting to feel a bit dated. I try to help it but I can't, my eyes are wandering with a 20 year itch. I like the simplicity they give me so would only ever want simple but itch and itch I do.

Has anyone kissed goodbye to theirs and regretted it?

Hi All, I'm interested in others views on how they setup their buzzbars and why?. I've always worked on the premise that on a clear water I would angle my rods downwards (or low and level) with rod tips close to the water, its just how I've always done it. Unless of course I'm fishing over weed and need to lift the line.

Now I see more and more people setting up with a higher front end even in a clear swim. Is there a reason for doing this? or is it just a personal preference on what people thinks looks best?

Interested in your thoughts, many thanks in advance.

Easy to say but for me I have trouble working out clockwise and anticlockwise on front drag reels and its got me into trouble a few times. I have today committed to the new Daiwa BR, I looked at them in Angling Direct and they suit me to the ground. Thanks everyone for the help, I think scopes would have been a mistake for me.

Not to everyone, some people are not that able minded.

Fair review thank you. By simplicity I mean easy to use in terms of clutch etc. I had a couple a shimanos and found the dual drag function too complicated. I have physical and mental difficulties which makes me a little slow in thought at times.

Hi All, I am about to part with some hard earned cash for a set of Nash GT reels. Can anyone that owns or used them give me an honest opinion. Are they worth the dosh, I am looking for simplicity in a reel.
