Advantages: Takes alot of stick! Disadvantages: Not much
...A great all round speciment/coarse rod. Unlike bulky, clumsy carp rods, the Hyperloop Barbel is smooth and gentle. I have used it in many situations including light bream fishing, carp and medium/heavy river fishing aswell as light/medium float fishing. This rod has also been used for spinning, including light sea/estuery legering/floating giving great results and coping well.
It is a great all round rod that I would not be without. I am not into the small stuff (roach etc) so this rod is perfectly suited to me. It incorporates a great reel seat, providing a strong base a comfortable position. Nice big eyes on the rings give a good line feed. This rod also has a very nice through action.
It is suitable for nearly all sorts of fishing and I sincerely recommend it to anyone not wishing to fork out loads on some fancy, higher priced rod....

...Wether this bait is from the freezer or out of a can, sweetcorn makes one of the best "deadly" hookbait for carp, tench, barbel , chubb and many other coarse fish.
Availability
This surely has to be one of the most readily available hookbaits known. Just by going to any supermarket many kilos of frozen sweetcorn can be purchased for just a few pounds, although these do need a little cooking before they are used. There are also tins of corn, which are ready to use without any preparation. A visit to any tackle shop will present you with flavoured corn, which can be strawberry, tutti fruiti, vanilla or one of the many various flavours available. The flavoured corn is a very good hookbait, and one that catches loads of fish when ordinary corn is being ignored.

Advantages: weight, build quility, component spec Disadvantages: have not found any yet
...First none steel frame i have purchased and have not looked back. Its a completely different ride, excellent in all terrain. It is very light, anything that helps me get up those hills is a bonus.
Discs are amazing, once worn in they provide constant breaking performance. Definately worth paying the extra money for the disc option.
Foxfloat forks are an excellent accompliment to the bike. No problems have been encountered yet, fingers crossed
Used to own an Orange P7, great bike but not a patch on the 8500. XT/XTR components throughout give great realiabiliy and performance.
The build quility on the bike is good. It looks as if is going last and at that price I hope it is, but all in all it is a price worth paying....

During the Great War, five children are evacuated from London and sent to stay with their eccentric uncle in the country. Once there they meet a grumpy Psammead or sand fairy who is able to grant them a wish every day. Unfortunately their wishes never... more
I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this free from Waterstones as a Uncorrected Manuscript proof to review for their website. When I first read the blurb on the back of the book, it sounded incredibly similar to "The Devil Wears Prada" and I was keen more
