[@borwick117]

I have never been Barbel fishing, and would love to catch one. Where is this swim?

[@AnglingDirectTV]

We were on the River Trent!

[@borwick117]

@@AnglingDirectTV ..nice one..I got that from the title. Stretch or name would narrow my search a little..cheers

[@wonkylommiter6364]

@@borwick117 If its any help mate, there is a day ticket stretch at a place called Fiskerton in nottmshire (5 quid a day) that is good for barbel. not sure where these were fishing in the vid.

Collingham 🙄 very original.

[@bradhardy100]

ALARMS on a river......its a no for me.....BIG carp rods on a river....no for me....stick to dug out holes lads.

[@duanetopley5898]

Look like barbell rods to me

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Carp rods...? They were Barbel/River rods Brad. A lot of the best fishing on the Trent can be during the hours of darkness, so alarms are pretty essential, unless you stay up all night. (But we had a long drive back the next day, so needed some sleep!)

[@bradhardy100]

@@duanetopley5898 maybe .. But they defo look like alarms

[@bradhardy100]

@@AnglingDirectTV fair enough..but I prefer bait runner or fishing rod tip for Barbel

[@ALCOCO1978]

should of fished between pillars. 1 after another in them just have brute gear

[@elcarpo8339]

What's that Bait Dropper Spomb called ?

[@FanterFishing]

El Carpo spomb dropper, or sbopper, can buy conversion kits, not officially sold 👍

[@elcarpo8339]

@@FanterFishing where Can i get that ?

[@elcarpo8339]

And which firm produces the Konverter?

[@FanterFishing]

El Carpo I got mine from Facebook on the Trent barbel group page, a few different sellers, also on eBay 👍

[@leebennett5685]

Don't people use a float anymore for rivers nothing better than landing quality barbel on the waggler ..

[@tchootube]

What a bore. Cross between carp fishing and a stag night. Doesn't anyone fish up close and personal for barbel any more - float, bomb, link ledger, anything but this sub-carp trapping.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Our Trent Challenge was filmed a few years back as a social trip and a lot of the best fishing on the tidal Trent (huge river) can be during the hours of darkness, so alarms are pretty essential, unless you stay up all night!

That guy with the vass waders and big nose is so annoying

Hassan is a nice bloke but he is a salesman not an angler lol
