I'm thinking about taking Betty with me this week for a day trip, she is mental but loves being with me so I am hoping that is all it takes 😂, she will have to stay tied up a bit though because she has a strong prey drive and doesn't always come back lol she is like my shadow unless she gets a taste of freedom

Jacks first solo trip - he was brilliant, no travel sickness, no being naughty, was chilled and seemed to enjoy it lots. Many happy trips to come 🥰😎👍

I seem to be going through more splicing needles than I catch fish at the moment. I've recently broken 4 or 5 trying to make some leaders and as the pic shows I've tried a few 😂 3 thinking anglers ones ( not good ) Avid retracta (broke easily) Fox blue( lasted a while) Other one was just another broken needle I had lying about but it makes more of a case as I have got through an awful lot lately. I don't think i am particularly ham fisted and have made leaders before. Can anyone recommend a bulletproof fine latch needle that's good for splicing and won't just break please ?

Cracking fish all I'll have to dig out the old phone & see what I can find .

You are right I do, 🍕 Smashed it with dinner tonight. Potato wedges with leftover chilli, grated cheese, jalapeños and sour cream, was mighty tasty

She looks lovely mate 🥰 Good luck 👍

I use the esp ones with korda leadcore mate, without any issues, one thing I do after removing the lead wire section prior to splicing the loop is pinch the end of the leadcore and above the break of the lead wire and loosen the braided section up, that way it splices easier.

What you going through brick lol have you tried the Keith moors knot it’s a knotless knot for leadcore
