Raise a glass today lads..... Rod Hutchinson is laid to rest today...… " Legend" is a much over used word these days, but I think it's highly appropriate in his case...… R.I.P.

Welcome to the forum. No it’s not unusual for fish to take “different” baits. It’s been well documented over the years of carp being caught on a variety of baits. What I will say about Krave is they go soft quite quick,I know this as there my young sons favourite and if he leaves a few they go mushy quite quick. My favourite change bait is liquorice...... they catch allsorts. I’ll get my coat ....... 🙄🙄😬

Have to.remember that one. At 2am yesterday morning I was in the garden in a wet towel after a cold shower and I was still sweating lol. Think I might move to a cooler country like Spain or something.

10 minutes of rain and still sweating my cods off here mate. I love the summer but this week has drained me. Never thought I'd hope for cool weather.

Lads apologies for such a late response. Been working all hours trying to get jobs done before the French social . I will put something together at some point but please carry on the thread . Really good read 😎

Thanks for the tip Stevo, off go the shop now to stock up on liquorice, hopefully I'll catch allsorts too

Note to self....... do not let your finger hover too close to the "buy it now" button when viewing sets of rods available on 0% finance. 3 x TS's now on their way to me. 😱😱😱

The Leila I knew was not carpy either but a very good ambassador for Anglo Israeli relations, if you get my meaning .

Blimey I'm going to take that as a compliment, thank you. I'd like to think that your assumption is spot though. I get more enjoyment catching carp how I want to catch them, and from where I want to catch them, rather than their numbers and sizes. Mind you it is forty-six years since I caught my first carp by design and I'm sure that I've learned to appreciate things more with age.

welcome to the forum Ryder i use a set of 3 fox warriors of which one was sold as a dedicated marker rod, two main at 2.75 Tc and the marker is 3.25 Tc, believe me when i say that marker rod is always used as my distance rod, i can chuck between 75-100 yds with the 2.75s without trying and that is usually about my range for fishing accurately but then when i have set my traps the marker rod gets pub chucked at a distant feature (just for luck ;)) and 150+ is nowt,, saying that it shed an eye ring last weekend as the braid frapped round the eye and i had a loaded spomb on at the time, nearly wrenched the damn rod out of my hands when it locked up
