I am absolutely gutted, just been out to the garage to dig some gear out for the first time since last year. My gear is stored in a locked sealed trailer in the garage. The garage isnt mouse proof but the trailer is.

The shock on my face to see that the trailer door was still open and not locked and as per the title of the thread, yep the mice had made a new home in the trailer. There was no bait in the trailer but that doesnt seem to have made any difference and they have chewed though thousands of pounds worth of gear.

My only saving grace is that my main tackle bag, rod bag and bait boat are in the house. But almost everything else is ruined. 3 bivvies and 2 umbrellas all with holes in them. Numerous rucksacks, bags, rod bags ,unhooking mats, chairs etc loads of spare, top end gear that i was going to thin out this year. Anything they wasnt able to chew now stinks of mouse piss.

Let this be a lesson that they might only be smalll but they will do serious damage give the time. I cant beleieve what they have chewed though even leaders and stuff they have got their teeth into.

Does anyone know some where that will do a deal/offer on a Nash Bushwhacker with another 10 sections?

If it's in a dry dark place it will be fine. Mono will take ages to break down even in the ground.

I need a pair of 10ft rods, I currently have free spirit and Harrison rods but open to anything. I have a budget of £1000 for the pair.

What would you go for?

I ordered some of these after seeing your post and they cancelled the order saying that the delivery company had damaged them and were unable to deliver them.

How does the rod holdall compare to the cotswold Aquarius equivalent?

The bar isn't set very high with the Cotswold one as the stitching has come away one one of the pockets.

This 100% completely agree. If your constantly looking at your bobbins then fine. But when you are sleep or have a rod where the bobbin isn't in view then I want a different tone.

Having used most alarms I wouldn't use one now without this feature.

He is sponsored by Shimano so it was never going to be a bad review.

What a great waiting list it is

Terry Edmonds at number 1 and some miss counting going on. Looks like you are 13th or 19th.
