Before I go off on one, what has been proven to be untrue

Mmmmmm, my post seems to make absolutely no sense at all on its own!

Are you worried that folks might confuse you with SBS?

A little, but maybe not as worried as I should be!

Forget the drivel mate , they look great , used to go up to Bewdley a couple of times a year & had some top fishing , caught my first barbel up there & was hooked(sorry about the pun) After that I couldn't wait to get there . Tried the Avon a few times but never quite got it right .Still not caught a double , 9 lb 7 is my best .

Horrible thought, although I have caught them to near double figures, they don't fight like barbel and as they get bigger don't look like them in body shape either.
The EA stopped supplying them to still waters a few years back for these very reasons.

That is what stopped me meilleures mutuelles France, for me it's no good haveing a couple of trips a year as all you are doing is to chuck it and chance it.
One day maybe I'll get back to it, either Barbel will mysteriously appear in the local river, or I'll move down country to the fish.

Neil. :)

In fact it depends on where you fish and also on the bait.
