    They are soft mate ... but that makes them absorb some extra liquid before they go out . If you just send them out without a boost then they will take on water & then your quite right become less buoyant over a 24hr period .

  8. I buy some tackle from the UK and have it sent to Canada, and that can be tough for larger items. I had a pair of reels sent by Royal Mail and with the boxes and schematics they were over the limit for cheaper postage (a big difference), so I had a choice of getting that paper and cardboard or the spare spools. I opted for the spools, of course. I bought a nice new Nash scale off tackle trader from a pub owner who had taken it against a bar bill..... edit: I just remembered, I had them mail it to Tommy Boy in Prenton and hoped and prayed he wouldn't sell and drink it before their holiday over here.

    Thanks for the kind words mate. weather's been a wash out this week. Soon as I've caught up on a few non fishing bits I'll try and get my head round sorting this out..... There's a ToolStation near me that does 3mtre lengths quite cheap, about the same per mtr...... Might be worth buying these and chopping them in half, each length being 1.5 mtres instead of 2mtres, may make them easier to totally fill with the foam.... I think it would be difficult to make a dead straight one as the conduit , being black, absorbs the heat from the sun on the side facing up, and expands slightly, causing a slight buckle as the underside stays cooler...... I'm not too bothered if it looks a bit snakey, as long as it does the job.....

  15. Hi mate.... The Ebay fees are a killer these days, plus you've got to pay postage and rely on them being delivered in one piece, and rely on the honesty of a total stranger to say that everything is ok when they arrive..... I have gotten rid of a few bits and bobs on Ebay, they take 10 perecent of anything sold plus charge for advertising it too...... Also, the cash isn't paid straight away, you may have to wait a couple of weeks before they release the funds........ A far better way , I've found, is too find a "used tackle group" on Face book, which is for your area. There are no fees involved, and people are local so they can collect or you can drop the bits off and the cash is straight in your hand.... Also, because there are no fees , you can price things slightly lower to help get rid....... For the sake of a couple of quid, I offer things dirt cheap, just to off load them... If there is no interest, then you could always pass them on for free to a youngster or someone who's a bit skint.
