Strange I always get a case of Coleman propane gas - never had a problem, what's gone on with yours?

Beautiful fish, well earned buddy👍

Yes , they do come big sizes. I told my mate about them and he uses the 6's. He absolutely loves them. And the bonus being, no carp tax.

Great find mate. They look like just like the Drennan Continental Boilie hooks.... except massive😅

Get yourself some "Varivas Chinu" hooks from Veals Mail order. They are a sea fishing hook, Sizes 8's and bigger. They are choddy style hooks, super sharp and half the price of carp hooks. If i was still carp fishing I'd 100% be using them.

You're the epitome of " you have to be in it to win it " , Ouch , but I'll leave the heroics to you 😁 . Well done on the big Common you thoroughly deserved it . 😃

Thank you

If anyone’s interested, I’ve edited my catch pic above with a full catch report.

I like the go gas ones but they do seem to empty quickly.

Good question. I can't see the size 2 Korda Chod hooks in stock anywhere. I spotted the Avid and Cygnet jobbies - both on sale too. Avid Armorok Chod Hooks Fishing Tackle and Bait Cygnet Choddy Hook Size 2 Barbed | eBay UK

Get a copy of Frank Warwicks book.

😱

The NGT canisters if you are talking about the 500's are actually some of the best gas canisters out there. The ones to avoid if possible are Coleman!

Funny thing is that many freezer baits become bio-active by a simple process called efflorescence, where salts and sugars come to the surface of the boilie. It is why some baits are more effective after a couple of days out of the freezer. There were a number of bio-active ingredients, from meat meals to milk products, to pineapple juice (bromelain).

That's nearly as pornographic as DPM slinky underwear under her bib and brace... Much as I like it I'll stick with Gardner Pro. The only thing that has worn that through is a pike charging through the line.

That’s barren lol congrats on the fish

It is a tad open, the rains hammering down now and I’m under a brolly and storm sides! The hot water bottle is working overtime tonight!

Thanks , greekskii . Funnily enough I was looking particulary at the Bug .

Thanks , Elmo , that's a nicely balanced review .

I bought 20kg of S7 and failed to catch anything but 3 tench from St Ives, might have been out my depth at the time though. So possibly not a fair reflection. Their hookbaits never seemed to set the world on fire for me either though. But might again be me.

Personal experience is years and years ago now so probably not much use. Tried the switch when first released and found it poor compared to fishmeals. a friend has done extremely well on the bug in recent years.

You're a hard man ,Ouch . No natural cover in view , and the wind wipping across . I'll just stay indoors , and cheer you on . 😁

Hi Everyone Has anyone had any experience using DNA Baits please ? . Ta .

Give them chance lol probably will be in the not to distant future.

Hense why this should have been kept to a SHB free zone. always ends up hitting the fan ….
