Thanks, great idea. Here is me thinking mallards are nice vegetarians.

Carp eggs and fry are food for many birds, even insects; tufties, mallards, pochards, dragonfly larvae The syndicate manager has put some of the weed with eggs into another small pond on the estate. I had a look last year, definitely some have come through as baby carp. This is one of the fish that we got eggs from:

Everythig eats the eggs mate, not seen Mallards doing it but not a surprise one bit. If you want babies you've gotta grab some of the weed out of the pond as soon as you see the females you want spawning in an area. Put it in a separate tank to hatch, quite a few waters doing this now which is great and will preserve some cracking blood lines. 👍

Nah it’s not in the air i just don’t feel it

Could be custom made for Phil Collins?

Only problem is the longest those irod genesis go to is 7’7” or something silly and the handles are all wrong I looked at those yesterday it can’t be them.

Hi, I got a small lake. After spawning in June I noticed a lot of mallard ducks in the area. They seemed to be eating the eggs? Has anyone else experienced this?

Same, when you Google Genesis, uts either iRod or Maver...

Take a look at this ? https://www.irodfishing.com/category-s/101.htm

Thanks mate, just run a google search and found that they are definitely not those Maver ones, they never made a Genesis 2 and their rods are completely different. Cheers anyway.

From memory Genesis carp rods were made by Maver. Any more than that I don't know.

Hi guys, i have 2 custom rods, they are very well made, all fuji, they dont have a makers name just "Genesis 2" I would like to know who made them, how rare they are and a valuation if poss. Many thanks. Chris.

Be even better of he was paying 🤣🤣🤣

I am the saint 😇 Still not decided what to do with it all at the moment I've got two pairs of rods and reels, I can get by mainly using the 9fters for most of my fishing but I'm not enjoying the emblems that much, the drag isn't the best and the line keeps getting caught under the spool, and finding one at a reasonable price isn't easy, was thinking I might sell the emblems buy another xtractor and get some smaller okumas, sell the other rods too and maybe just buy one more 8k and some distance rods for when I need some beef It's either that or just sell the lot and buy 3 decent rods and an 8k lol

You got a good uncle there 👍

You look like the saint. 🤔 surprised you got a big halo Elmo must have cursed a bit when you fell on your tackle, any luck replacing it ?

Just looking back at some old pics, turns out my halo game is pretty strong.

That's what I need to enhance my Halo 😇

Wife has 1 of these too... Ring light with phone holder, can either be plugged mains or USB power pack.

Best 1 I've used is the Selfie Stick clamp, decent, strong too.

Sky lies at the top of the stairs up to my flat while I take all the gear down and load the car, and is ready to get straight in while I do my last minute lock up checks.

100%, think it is the Adventure side of it, something different. Maybe a long day session in few weeks, but my uncle asked if want a 48hr for his birthday in September.

All dogs I've had go nuts as soon as the first tackle item comes out the cupboard, they know were off on an adventure 😎👍

I wish I had taken a photo now, just to prove you can catch without getting a spirit level out 😂 Funny thing happened, I've got my kit down to a minimum for these places and short sessions now, just a mat, with tackle box in, a bucket and my rod bag for my 9fters. I saw a bloke packing his car as I was walking back. I chucked my bits in the car, went to the toilet, washed my hands and he still had all of his stuff and his barrow(tri Porter big boy) in a big heap, he looked perplexed, he had literally everything with him and I'm guessing it all had to be loaded in a certain order, I felt proud of myself as I drove off with my minimal kit, my wife had made a nice curry,and I'd probably eaten that before he had driven out the gate 😂
