No she is . I'm just the labourer.

Just done a wk in horrendous wind / rain in a jrc sti twin skin and it coped with everything the elements threw at us

Hi and welcome to this cracking forum. Orchard is the old, original lake on the complex, having been dug as an irrigation water for the fruit farm. I've fished it several times and have always done well on popped up fake sweetcorn over a bed of real corn. Ian

The hen bird has her knees firmly together at the moment and is only laying every 3 or 4 days . Think the pressure is getting to her

let me know when you are going out again Ian and i will pop over with a good supply of lager, i can get right royally schizzled and you can sharpen all your scissors on my leavings (just dont tell steve)

i would recommend the Fox Warriors in 2.5 TC if you can get them still, i have the Warrior S in 2.75 and i have used them constantly, almost weekly for over 8 years for feeder, method and ledger fishing with weights as low as 1oz up to 4oz with no loss of quality at all. but then i am a cheapskate

Buy some new ones. They only cost about £5 for christ's sake.

The best bit of advice I can give you is pop down your best local tackle dealer and go and pick a few up and get a feel for the rod, we have had several budget rod threads and all usually throw up a multitude of different answers and people have found one recommendation better than the other because it feels better for them Personally I can recommend both the Fox Warriors and Sonik Blacks as good budget rods, others have found the Shimano Tribals excellent value. With regards to test curve I will leave it for the lads that fish the method feeder on a more regular basis, but im guessing that it will depend heavily on the sixe of feeders you intend to use

You can't go wrong with anything JRC but if I was in the market for a new Bivvy I'd be seriously considering the carp zone stuff . A 2 man is always handy too for the bonus space

I would go down the exclusive lake hire route in that case mate .
