Phil,
That was some phenomenal barbel hauling ! Damn I didn’t know the Trent had boomed and blossomed so well, we’ll done that man. 💯👌
Great angling , love this specimen series ❤️
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
Nice watch as normal. 120 mile trip for me, but it's worth every mile when they're on it. 😂
Thank you 😊
A cracking session and an enjoyable watch from adtv again and a river I hope to fish for barbel one day although my local river the Wye holds plenty of them the trent certainly offers the chance to catch a chunk
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm very jealous of the Wye being your local river 👌
Good luck with your fishing,
Regards
Phil
Yep went to the severn 1st week of Sept had a few but the river was very low
once again phil..a brilliant video those barbel were deffo mad for it....obviously the river conditions helped too!....i travel to the trent a few times a year...it is a bit of a journey for me as well ...so ya planning has to be right...and the end rig is definately worth a try on my next barbel trip.....tight lines until ya next one...hopefully some pike fishing to come!......
Thank you 😊
The combi-rig is great. I had issues with long mono hook links breaking in the past. The combi rig has never let me down so far!
I often get asked for more pike fishing content, you never know what's around the corner?
Regards
Phil,
Great video and watch, top work !
Thank you Dean 😊

Regards

Great video and some great catches. What sort of boilies are you using they look fishmeal
Hi Allan,
I was using 12mm Sticky baits krill active. They are perfect barbel baits as they are pretty much a 12mm kill with a layer of paste around them.

Enjoyed that. Im after a new landing net for Barbel/Trent fishing. Could you tell me what you were using during these sessions. Cheers John
Thank you John 😊, I was using a 30inch Advanta folding spoon net. These have possibly gone out of stock, but the Gardner folding pan net in 26inch would be very similar.

Phil,
Brilliant mate well done, I'm on a mad pursuit for one myself on the upper thames but being thin on the ground and loosing 3, (2 in one night 😢) over the last 8 outings I'm torn between a trip on the wye or on the trent just to ease the pain and hopefully put a bend in the rod 😂
Thank you 😊, keep persevering on the Thames! The rewards could be very high 🐳
@AnglingDirectTV quick update for you, perseverance paid off finally with a beautiful 14lb12oz barbel.
Thanks for all the tips and tricks and replies, it makes getting out there after a 12hr shift a bit easier. Tight lines 👍
🥳 A massive congratulations , that's a mega barbel! Captures like that are all the more rewarding when you have to put extra effort in 💪
Brilliant video where’s my cap you promised me mate
Thank you Michael 😊, have you messaged our instagram page with your details?
Send a DM across and I’ll personally sort it 👌
Regards
Phil
Would you only use the combi-rig for rocky swims like the Trent, or as a general river barbel and carp set up?
The combi-rig works well on all faster flowing rivers. Using a longer hooklink definitely gets more bites 👌. The stiffness of the fluorocarbon makes the rig 99% tangle proof and super tough.
Hi, watching this video, Phil stresses the importance of a baitrunner reel. Can i ask, are these set tight as to give no line, when under pressure from the flow or are the ledges heavy enough to keep the bait static in the flow? The ledgers look around 4oz? I suffer from the line continuously paying out when my baitrunners are on fishing the Trent. Thanks, Barry
Hello Barry,
You will need to adjust the tension on the baitrunners so that the flow can’t pull line from the reel. A barbel will still strip line from the reel on the bite, a tighter baitrunner also helps set the hook 🪝 n the take 👌
Regards
Phil
I struggle so much on my section of the Upper Trent. Only 1 barbel this year! Big decline in recent years but still big fish to be had. Could you advise what area / ticket youre fishing? Thanks, Barry
Seems the tidal Trent is still on good form, numbers of barbel of all sizes. Phil was fishing a stretch rum by Hull & District AA.

@@AnglingDirectTV Thanks
Awesome barbel video. Is this the Collingham stretch?
Hi James, yes but no 😆, It's a stretch that is controlled by Hull and District AA. It's the opposite bank to Collingham so in the same area.

Hi is that a day ticket stretch please
Much better than the river wye video u put me through m8, actually worth a watch this time.. Shame ad made u put those 12ft garden posts on your shimano areo's they deserve more. 😆
Slightly confused as I’ve never filmed on the river Wye?
Have you used the new Advanta barbel rods? I have been very impressed with them, perfect for big rivers like the Trent!
Regards
Phil,
Where is this please?
What is the cast weight of this rod please. Great video
Phil was using the Advanta Barbel Twin Tip rod in 2.25/2.75lb tc. Depending on the weight you need to cast you can choose the right top section for the job. The 2.75lb section will cope with very heavy weights/feeders up to 8oz.

What reels are those?
Hello Mick,
Phil was using Shimano baitrunners X-Aero's. 👌

My friend and I was fishing on the Trent and he caught a 19.8 barbel at Clifton were and ten minutes later he got a graling
Wow! 19lb 8oz is a HUGE barbel! Well done to your friend.
ive never found flouro great for abrasion tbh
The OMC blend fluorocarbon in 15lb has been mega tough for me this Autumn. I've caught dozens of barbel from very snaggy swims on the same long boom sections. I just attach fresh braided sections when the hook gets spoilt.
