Hopefully that will get you a bite or two good luck 👍

Hmm! As a member of the PAC, Pike Angler's Club, I don't think fishing for pike before September or even October is good for the fish. The water temperature is far too high and playing pike in these temperatures causes stress that can, and will kill them. I have seen it, even on rivers. The Broads system regularly loses fish killed by the holidaymakers 'dabbling with a spot of pike fishing in summer', which is why specialist tackle shops like Steve Burgess of Bass Online in Horning will not sell pike gear to holidaymakers between June and September, no matter what the cost. The exception is the deeper colder waters of Scottish Lochs and the English Lake District where bottom temperature stays around 4 or 5 degrees Celsius. Next problem is any baitrunner system has more resistance than an open bail arm; in carp fishing we use that resistance in our favour, however in pike fishing we want minimal resistance. Baitrunner systems (and playing fish off the clutch or drag) also create line twist, so you actually only ever should want to use it on a take.

It's finally out!

Won't be soon yet, but keep looking at the Green & Clear in 15lb.

100% sonik man myself, respooled mine other day with DPF 15lb...spare spools will have subsonik on, which I don't know yet.

Been wanting to here some reviews on the Sonik Line 🤔🤔

Good shout. The "bible" of fishing lines. They update this quite regularly too. Latest issue - http://www.tacklebox.co.uk/pdfs/line_tests_issue12f.pdf Alas, no test of the new SubSonik line yet...

Just be careful as a heavier lead can drop right through any silt giving you a false belief that the spot is cleaner than it is. Imo a spod rod is perfect as a marker. You want it nice and stiff as it gives good feedback. Also means you can mark up at range.

I went for the bundle in the end as I do use leaders and by the time I had added 1 mini box it seemed sensible to just spend an extra few quid and get the lot, it should fit nicely into the tackle bag I am using, so will have some space for the bigger bits, I can also fit a couple of the zig box reels in so can keep Chods and zigs just incase I need some

Hi Elmo, I've got the Korda Tackle box, but I went for just tackle box (left), not Bundle (right). Only because, I don't use leaders or anything, just the tackle box was enough for me, but it's better to have to much than not enough. I've just been tinkering with my Tackle/Bait, tidied the tackle out, pimped some bait, there's a 50/50 chance for Saturday night, but I'm 100% on a 24hr Next Saturday.

Just had a tinker with Bait, made - 20 Krill PVA mesh Bags 20 Manilla PVA mesh Bags Glazed a few pop ups- Glazed Krill Pop Ups in Krill Supreme. Glazed Pineapple Pop Ups in Pineapple Supreme + Isotonic Supreme. (WOOOOOW STRONG) Glazed Manilla White Pop Ups in White Almond Supreme. Glazed Mulbz Pop Ups in Isotonic Supreme.
