A couple from April blanks - looked good though lol

If using braid, make sure you use a finger guard. Wet braid slipping over a finger on a big cast don’t half sting!

Mate that really is overkill for a day session.... get yerself an oval brolly for day sessions... tons lighter and waaaaaay quicker to put up

And do the clutch up rock solid...

I haven’t noticed an increase in hookpulls using sharpened hooks to be honest mate, I wasn’t out and out snag fishing admittedly, but I was hitting and holding to stop carp kiting into a corner (which made landing them more tricky) on the take and if anything, a touched up hook increased my hooking ratio, I only had one hook pull out of 20+ fish and that was a single figured fish trailing a large branch it picked up on the way in, I was destined to lose that fish regardless of whether the hook was sharp or not I think, a branch attached to the hooklink isn’t helpful! I thought I was into a monster until it surfaced! 🙄

I'll be happy with another rod length or two....next session will be 3.5oz lead, helicopter set up for anti tangle purposes and possibly use the braided mainline spool I have I'm sure that'll be enough for a couple of rod lengths 😁

possibly but more for short booms the shop bought ones can be a bit long something like a three inch boom and 5 inch supple section hair rig.

Nice n short hinged stiff rig, I'm going to need to bulk buy krimps 😂

Loop to loop multi combi 😳

Frank Warwick was a fan of the pendulum cast which would go a long way to explaining his preference for high rod poundages for a big chuck... by his own admission though, at huge distances a pendulum cast is wildly inaccurate and to be honest for someone not used to it its a bit of a faff to get right let alone find any accuracy... maybe some casting lessons from guys like Terry Edmonds would be better than trying to hoof out a big lead in a chuckitanchansit approach pendulum stylee
