hi all, love going fishing on the river Trent, best barbel is 8.5lb started fishing again about two months ago after a break of 14 years lol. I don't get out a lot due to family etc, but when I get the chance to spend a few quiet hours on the bank it's peaceful. Came across this site while looking for information on normark rods as Ive just got one and want to start doing a bit of stick float fishing which I've never done before. Any advice welcome. Thanks
