Must say they are as excellent as the review states and a doddle to use.

Have a look on-line,you may find you can pick them a lot cheaper than the RRP(and the Fox alternative).
Fox do make nice stuff but they also charge full wack too! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ricardo) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/8393 Fri, 13 Jan 2006 15:22:25 GMT <![CDATA[ Christmas Tackle Reviews ]]> http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/8390/t/Christmas-Tackle-Reviews.html : -->>:

Be that a boilie, a large pellet, 1/4- 1/2 tin of meat or a large paste bait.
But I do feel that at times I might be missing out on fish due the size of the bait.
I think the main reason (probably incorrectly) is that with rivers like the Lower Severn I feel that a small bait would be harder to find. Another think for me to consider is the nuisance Bream that can make using a small bait imposable.

Now, this is a question which I asking in behalf of my dad. You see I do not often use floats and if I do it's always on stillwaters/big lakes and for carp or tench and I always use bodied wagglers. When I'm after yours truely I use feeders 90% of the time and ledger the remaining 10%. In fact, to be honest, floats and rivers seem to be a mine-field to me.

So here's the question, what float would cover your basic approach to barbel fishing on rivers. feeds@yuku.com (internationalangler) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/8379 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 00:40:45 GMT <![CDATA[ Popped Ups Hot Dogs?!?!? ]]> http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/8386/t/Popped-Ups-Hot-Dogs-.html Was fishing last night and thought i'd try a change of bait for my first cast.

Had some hot dogs that I bought from Aldi a while back - they come in a jar but can't remember the brand. They have been in the freezer for the last few weeks.

Anyway put three small chunks on the hook - and up the line a bit and cast out. Left the bait out for about an hour before reeling in - changed over baits to paste wrapped boilie and flung the bits of hot dog in the margins - THEY... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Born Again Fisher) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/8386 Wed, 11 Jan 2006 21:52:28 GMT <![CDATA[ Congrats ]]> http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/topic/8397/t/Congrats.html If Im not mistaken the 8lb 1oz chub in this weeks angling press belongs to Dave born slippy !

This isn't really a question that will change to way I fish, more one that I've wondered about for a while now.

Does anyone know how barbel (of any large course fish) are able to hoover up beds of small particles like ground bait without swallowing gallons of water? Or do they just swallow the water with the food and excrete it later?

Might be a stupid question....
