I just wondered what rods and reels people in the group have as well
as other tackle, and also where you regularly fish and what your
favourite places are for fishing?

As this is a game fishing group I'll tell you what I used on my last
(Sunday) fishing trip for wild brownies.

A 10' general rod, labelled as a 'ledger' rod but ignore the label - I
forget the manufacturer.

A 5" Leeds centrepin reel loaded with 4lb bs monofilament and a #10
round-bend hook.

Nothing else.

Landed about a dozen and took 4.

Venue - local free stretch of chalk stream in town where the busy footpath
precludes backcasting.

No bait? Barbed or barbless? How deeply were they hooked? How did you
release them? Are you confident that you can catch and release wild
browns without harm?
