My receiver has just started playing up. I am just hoping it's a new battery needed. I don't want the hassle of sorting this out under warranty. Mine is also the V2

It is a shame to see this. I have had a number of dealings with Tom, from getting my rods built and going to churn pool. I have been to the shop. He is a really nice bloke. I guess just not great at dealing with the demands many expect. So much so, when I got my custom stalking rod built I went with JB custom rods. I looked at and spoke to a range of rod builders for my main set and very nearly went with Kev Clayton.
Loads out there, I've just come across a really funky German builder, but that would be a ball ache, although it does seem custom rods are getting really custom!!

“I still have my football boots and shin pads in the cupboard not because I think m gonna play again, but because I don't want to admit that I will never”
Me too!! I always say, I haven't retired, my body won't do it, but the mind won't admit it!!
Having tried to get out of fishing twice, including a 7 year gap, I think I realised I can't leave it. Now I resolve myself to the few trips I get. I have a young family and a busy job, I have to prioritise my time. This in a way has kept the desire to go fishing strong. I have very limited time on the bank, so I cherish the opportunity. I meet up once or twice a year with an old fishing mate for a social on a day ticket somewhere between the two of us. I have a local water I can get to for the odd session. I'm not worried about anything else, or anyone else, just doing it for the love of it.
I hope you find your solace

Does anyone have these and can advise on sizing, do you advise on getting true to size or a size up?? Sometimes lined boots are snug to fit and with my ham trotters I need space

On eBay there is at least one company with 10% off on Delks. Not too long ago on EBay there was one site with 20% off I dithered and regretted it

I bought some bits online t'other day and I was £6 short of free postage and the postage was £7 as it stood, so I fiddled around and found some Solar wafters on sale at around £3 a pot. I remember getting a little pot shot of glug in some of their older pop ups tubs. These wafters didn't have it, but does anyone know if Solar do a glug/dip anymore. Mainly in quench/club/pineapple flavourings. The internet seems sparse

Whilst it has appeared relatively recently. I am a huge fan of BAS luggage and hold-all stuff. I've got quite a few bits, some custom. All very well made. Check it out.
