Well 2 years on & 16 thousand pounds 👀 in planning fees finally got the go ahead . To late in the year now so will have to be spring next year for a start date on the works .

what about the other side of the argument? using thicker leaders ( I use fluoro or leadless leaders) when fishing places with snags to prevent cut offs is surely better than bare line which is much more likely to cut off and leave a fish with a rig in it's mouth? End of the day it's user error, some people just dont care and will pull for a break straight away instead of exhausting all options before pulling for a break. Personally I do everything I can to retrieve a snagged up fish/rig and hate to pull for a break. I have been out on a little dinghy in the dark to try and retrieve snagged up rigs, face pretty much in the water to reach down far enough. The amount of trees ive climbed to get other peoples lost rigs and leads because they cant be asked. Most wont even ring a bailiff and tell them the situation. You cant educate the idiots sadly. Just have to avoid fishing places that they do!

probably cut a hole in the otter fence by the sounds of it!

Your last 2 posts have gone right over my head What is obvious though is you do have beef with someone lol

Still, congrats are in order

Takes all sorts Elmo!

He ran Ecton in partnership for a while, both parties wanted different things so he pulled out from what I remember. Then he got Welly. So you had the broken linear? Banger! I fished it when it had a 40 in before the fence was put up. Banging fish such a shame he was too late.

I know that IF I crack off (can’t actually remember when I last did) everything is coming off especially with such a short amount of it jamming the lead clip tail rubber on I do that when I am storing the rods so when I put a lead on and hook the rubber back on it actually works as it should because the tail rubber bore is larger than it actually should be. I suppose after 45 years as an angler I know how to fish safe as I don’t get bogged down by the videos etc.

To be fair , even if both were your advocated running rigs nothing is coming off with that much line on them sorry Nick but my opinion is that isn’t leadcore fault As both rigs have lead clips maybe should go for those as well. I do agree that not used carefully it can be a real hazard but to blanket ban the use is harsh personally there is no need for anyone to tie rigs wrong with the plethora of videos there are around now a days. I happily use lead core but the lengths I use are usually around 1 foot- 18” maximum and that is only if there is weed so I have a bit of protection. mine is usually tied using the Keith moors knot so it’s actually a Knotless knot for leadcore or I will needle knot it.

If they are both trailing that much line how is it the leaders fault? The first one does look like tubing to me also?

Hi crusian the title is a take on the Lord of the rings films, one ring to rule them all. I had a solid fibreglass as a kid that was a upgrade from a handmade stick of bamboo with the eyes made out of bent hairclips Like the song says …’O happy days’
