So as far as I am aware carp can not detect oils they have no receptors for it, what they can detect is the lipids and any micro nutrients that are dispersed into the water as the oil rises off what ever its attached to. Which oil is best ?, well can depend on the time of year when the water is colder i would stay away from fish oils as the congeal in the cold water and will leave a fatty residue all over what you have coated or soaked in them, best test is take your oil of choice and put a little bit in the fridge and see what happens to it. I have also listened to something recently that suggest it doesnt really what which oil you choose as they all have a good lipid content and its the other things oil can bring like being a converyor for other items that you have mixed it with like lifting particles into the water column. You dont need to pay carp tax for a good oil, the supermarkets crry plenty Good Hemp Oil and Toasted Seasame Seed Oil are 2 that I use. Some of the other liquids are Hydroylsates and shouldnt be confused with Oils as they are very different but they can be mixed together to create a good effect for drawing fish to bait. Cloudy liquids, just find a combination of liquids you like and get some condensed milk from the supermarket and mix then together will cloud th water up a treat. If you use the Cap Oil make sure you wash your hands before going to the toilet 😉😆

won't link the video but i really hope it's a sales gimmick that don't catch on, mooching around a busy day ticket water lamping isn't going to go down well with the other anglers, then there's the 100 note headtorch, if i was going to splash out on a head torch it wouldn't be a tackle brand, unless it was made by one of the known head torch makers on behalf of the tackle brand selling it. either way i think a water wide pre-ban on"lamping carp" is in order.

I've got a Sundridge Minus 10 Suit ; like Carpbell says about his Ron Thompson suit my Sundridge does the job , but I can't help hankering after a more up to date Snugpak , and I'd need waterproofs over the top wouldn't I ? 🤔 😃

Sticky is £8 for 500ml....have look both

Don't pay carp tax mate, Good hemp oil 500ml Tesco's £6.00.👍

if you're on about the Nash headtorches then they are utter ridiculous. I cant imagine the state of day ticket waters with these about. Wouldnt be the first time a tackle company contributed to a decline in etiquette though!

Just wanted to say thanks all... went for the 2x 10ft 3lb Black Widow G50's with the Black Widow BR reels (4000A) Can't wait to get on the bank and use them!!

I used to sleep out under the stars a lot when I was a nipper (the Boy Scouts , a wonderful institution) in just a sleeping bag on a tarp or groundsheet . The scouts taught me many things from the University of life . One of which is to knock it on the head once your body starts creaking 🤣 I love all my creature comforts when I’m fishing .

Great sleeping on the floor if you are a young one the older you get a good nights sleep on a bedchair is imperative for the back or suffer for the next week lol waterproof bedchair cover or a tarp to keep dry if needed
