No. The sheath sits in the tail rubber very tightly (can be tricky to push it in, in fact). Therefore as long as your tail rubber isn't coming off the clip, it'll stay exactly where you want it to. No crinkling, it's very robust, with a strong, almost elastic feel to it when stretched. No kinking either. It's solid stuff. I've never used it on a heli set-up but as I mentioned the sheath can fit snugly into whatever you want. You'd need to check that any beads can pass over the sheath on the opposite end obviously bud. It's reasonably supple. It's the weight that's the real strong point - it's so heavy it just sinks lightly into silt, weed etc.... I agree mate. I've shown a couple of anglers what this looks like in the margins on my water and they both went straight out an bought some. It's awesome bud.

I usually take mine out in January cos like you I don't do winter fishing and replace with new Duracell batteries when I start again in march

It's the 1st time I've fished a water like this. Living where I do it's a very rare thing. Anyway fished free line prawn earlier, 2 foot from the bank. Resulted in my 1st fish . Only a little one but we saw a couple more that looked a lot bigger.

First day of the lake de- silting job today up near Chester. The main lake on the estate looks spot on & have already started prebaiting a few marginal spots with the hope of getting some fishing time later in the week . Never been fished apparently so haven't a clue what might be in it . But already seen a few lillies moving so fairly sure there a carp present but not seen any as such . Just going to keep a bit going in & what will be will be .

Personally I like the LED Lenser H7R , The beauty with this is that it has a sliding power control as opposed to most that have 2 or 3 brightness settings.

Thanks for the detailed reply buddy.....

Hi mate.... Does this stuff "ride up/down" the mainline at all ?...… Or does the stainless weave keep it from crinkling?...…. It could be the answer to my prayers. For years I've used the outer skin of lead core as tubing on leader free venues and also tried lead free leaders threaded up the line, which are both great for blending in, but tend to slip down the mainline on the retrieve or when playing fish and need sorting out a bit with each cast. A small pinch of putty helps, but isn't safe enough imo for beads to slide off safely, so can only really be fished with lead clips...… Does the sheath on this gear help to keep the tubing tucked snug under a buffer bead or similar for a heli set up?..... Is it quite supple?...…..Sorry to bombard you with a load of questions, but I very nearly pushed the "pay now button" lol..... Just thought I'd grill you a bit first 😃 I , too, find brown to be the best all round colour for 99% of lake beds. And I'm quite the fan of Rig Moral products..... I did dabble with some Kudos tungsten tubing earlier in the season. It's really supple, but I found that once you went over 30cm in length, it could be a little difficult to thread... Braided tubing imo, looks and feels more organic in the water. And not only will it take on silt to blend in better, but it will also take on liquid attractors pre cast, when dry. A little confidence boost, when fishing singles imo.

I'm the same on a work morning....... On fishing mornings I'm up and away at 4 am with a spring in my step though lol.

Been using these for about 4 years now. I originally bought one for a fiver in Tesco when they were on offer...… Still use the original, but bought a couple of spares a while back, in case they get discontinued...…. You can pick up a single one for about 7-8 quid on Ebay….. I rate these little head lights, plenty of brightness options in both the white or red light settings......

Cheers guys...will deffo be removing when finished...i have trust in Energizers..👍

If I definitely wasn't going for a while, I'd remove the batteries just in case..... I'd also take the opportunity to give my buzzers a general clean up and leave them in the airing cupboard for a week or so with the backs off to thoroughly get rid of any moisture that may be lurking...….. I would most definitely be replacing the batteries with some new ones, once back on the bank..... I trust Duracell batteries to last a bit longer and as soon as one starts to go (usually the receiver), then I will change all of them at once.. 3 alarms and receiver...….

I'll be honest , I had to look up what furtive actually meant. Let's hope there's a proper lump still lurking in there.
