<p>There&#8217;s a stretch of river not far from me that from what I&#8217;ve been told is quite good for Barbel, Chubb, Perch and Roach etc Used to fish the Severn many moons ago where it was basically a big lead weight and a big hook with luncheon meat as bait, seemed to work ok then! So what kind of kit would I need to start again as in, type or make of rod and reel, type of bait and what weights or floats to use?<br /> Not sure how much a basic kit would cost to get started but all advice and pointers are most welcome 🙂</p>
