like it, that is what carp angling is, you know something is banned and you know why it is banned but because of that knowledge you can get away with it and feel confident using it. Be it a bait or bit of tackle, i have never used peanuts and i don't think they are banned on most of the waters i fish, knowing my luck i would have some whipper snapper half hanging out my bait bucket whinging like an uber bailiff.
