But did you measure the cord… lol

Not using wraps is just fishing with the handbrake on in my opinion. Make life so much easier tbh and one of the greatest inventions in modern carp fishing. And only having to count into double digits makes life so much easier it's a no brainer. Although recently I have also started using a marker set up again. So now I can find a spot with a marker. Wrap it up the next stage is a leading rod so I can interrogate the spot I've just found around the marker. I think deepers can be great to a point but I've gone off mine recently though and just stopped using it. I think the rudd play havoc with it and give you false readings that look like weed, I also found it made me want to spend ages trying to find the perfect spot, whereas most of the time they don't exist and bait can quickly make an OK spot better that's where the rudd are quite handy 😂 To me a wrap is 12ft btw all the sticks I've owned come with a 12ft cord Someone asked me to do a review on these when I got them, Best £12 you will spend on wrap sticks tbh, they are thin and go in most grounds well and they are solid work a treat. Only down side they are quite short but that doesn't bother me really as i rarely need to go more then 21 wraps

What ever happened to the good old days when you just pub chucked it any old where and hoped for the best?? 🙄

That just proves the point that a wrap is what ever distance you want it to be. I can’t be bothered with this any more lol

I just had a rush of blood to the head and bought a daiwa Emblem S 5000T off ebay, £45 I've always wanted a set of these, didn't really need it though and not quite sure what I will use it for 😳

Yeah it's about the same as the length of my rods (good enough) 😂

I dont/didn't get a Cord with my Korda Sticks (Basix), I just do tip to butt on rods.

@chillfactor @welder @kevtaylor If you guys are in (welder +1) that leaves one space? Thanks gents

Solid bag? They might not be able to resist one of those bad boys.

I've had margin spots boiling like a couldren and couldn't get a bite. Normally it happened when I used to literally place a spod only about 20 foot from the bank and the loose feed was literally on a bin lid. We get done far more often they we think. Conventional wisdom says to put a lot of boilies out but spread them so the fish have to move between mouthfuls and that makes them more hookable.

I remember seeing a "proper carper" with a set years ago and ever since I've always wanted some, I might just get another and a couple of littler rods and have a mobile set up. Or I may just use it as a 2nd spod rod reel dunno yet 🤔

Heavy bottom baits might work

I caught 2 carp around the middle nene area today. I think the river is full of carp. What's anybody else's experience between Thrapston and oundle?

Thanks, I've fished mainly oundle area for last 10 years now (after the loads of carp era) but have had a quite a few, and always see signs of them in couple of certain stretches. I have a boat moored in oundle so have a little advantage. There are definitely quite a few in the oundle area still and they seem to be thriving and hopefully on the return.

The Nene is a pale shadow of what it was. Used to be loads in there, proper bigguns too. But the otters put paid to that. Having two is a real result mate, I can assure you it's not full of carp. Well done!
