She's a goodun lads no doubt, her legs have just started to play up this last year or so . Been giving her a supplement the last few months & have definitely noticed she's not quite so stiff/ lame after exercise & is generally moving a little easier, there' no miracle cure for old age but think it's making her more comfortable so going to stick with it . Mans best friend without doubt.

Winter in western Kansas is lasting too long, but the sunsets are pretty.

I tied a few rigs up with it for displays when I was in the tackle shop. I can't say I was too impressed to be honest, so I stuck with what I have from Kryston; Merlin, Snakeskin, Snakebite, Mantis. Merlin is my goto braided hooklink, either as part of a combi link, or on its own, and I have caught on it in weed, over gravel or silt. I will say as I bought so many packs of Kryston a few years ago, if it has changed since Kryston was sold into a tackle wholesale group, and rebought, I have not used any newer versions. Pictured are rigs tied with it, one on a plain KK and one on combi-rig. If you use it on a combi-rig, I would recommend checking and changing hooklink after every fish. As it pulls tight on Amnesia, the Amnesia knot can be pulled down. Not changing has cost me fish, but I have not lost a fish with it giving way during the first fish hooked on it.

I've used the camotex & stopped using it pretty quickly, the coating crinkles up far to easily for my liking. The korda alternative or esp tungsten are far superior, really impressed with the esp stuff tbf after " yonny" put me on to it . those two 40lb plus cats I had last year both powerd through a large lillie bed & had to be played back through it, not a mark on the rig ...in fact it was the same rig that landed both fish . I would save ya money & avoid the fox stuff .

cheers BC , I have read some good things about the camotex , I've been using the kryston merlin this year and to be honest its ok , the only down side is its not very well camouflaged in my opinion and i'm looking at someting that will blend in a little better for my margin fishing ..... dave

Here's my weekly catch . 4 of us went. We all had at least one 40.

Wouldn't cost that much mate. Closer to £400.00. £240.00 for the fishing, half dibs on a ferry for two in car would be about £50.00 each and it wouldn't take much more than £50.00 each on fuel to get there and back. So I reckon between £350.00 and £400.00 all in, including any tolls. I'd be quite happy to do the organising and drive one of the cars.........
