I'll more than likely go all 3 on zigs .... & watch my water for a good few hours . Unless they've obviously got there heads down on a spot then it will be set the traps . Looking forward to meeting you all & here's hoping for a fish or two each🤞👍🎣

Just mixed up a 6 egg mix with the new ingredients, after 20yrs+ of using the premier aminos, I fancied updating it, so brought the superaminos base which is the aminos with added kelp, robin red, liver with a spicy note, I’ve finally had to retire the smoked ham flavour as I’m struggling to find a supply from a reputable manufacturer that I trust, so I got a bottle of the premier shellfish sense appeal, which is quite pungent! So 2ml of shellfish sense appeal, 2ml of original sense appeal, 15ml of salmon oil, cream palatant, robin red and six eggs have produced a lovely firm bait which a savoury, spicy aroma with a note of shellfish. They certainly smell good, they have a totally different smell to previous mixes I’ve made up, yet on the aminos base I’ve got so much faith in. I crumbled up a few baits into the garden pond and the carp went mad for it, so that’s a good start I suppose! The test will be tomorrow night when I slip out for a quick overnighter

I think its probably banned from posting. most only receive a short ban but let’s be honest, all it is on there now is bitching wining and moaning about something or other.

Sorry @Highy I didnt check auto correct earlier??? The albeit or, Albright knot is the neatest by far with the Armakord imo. & not to difficult to tie Fishspy!!

I'm laughing at this thread, but for the right reasons We've managed to pass opinion on The Twig, and still within topic pass comment and switch to safe leader to mainline tying. I might have to see if I can split the mainline to leader posts away. I also had a look around local waters to me, and I know Ladywood lakes in Nacton have banned The Twig. I have a feeling HWDAC might have also, but I'm not sure.

Can't get better pics than them, sorry

Stopped rolling I thought still selling bits and mixes

Just done mine with a 5 turn back to back grinner knot...30lb Korda Basix Spod braid to 50lb Arma Kord.

People can get so touchy when it comes to carp fishing 🤣 @elmoputney are you using a tapered leader?

No issues at all. It's been on for about 5 years. I used to always cast out the fishery which is quite heavy. Albeit knot to 20lb banana braid. I use the quick change loop knots, which are really handy for changing to a float or whatever

I’d love an anker powerhouse.. just can’t justify the purchase to myself..no matter how much it would be handy for the boat. plus it would need to be able to run a 2.2kw jet wash without tripping out lol

a 3lb roach caught when the record was just broken at 4.1 and a 5.11 chub when the record was about 8lb rolling meat in a swim that Wilson used to show on go fishing my club had the opposite side of the river.

I usually use a mahin knot if there is a lot of difference between the thickness of the lines or a back to back grinner if similar or tapered leader. an albrite knot works well apparently but I only use that on a combi rig lol i think blobbing will just catch in the rings more surely??

I've only used the Gardner kinetic one that is decent lasts ages but I am sure most of the top ones would be OK I think

Aye, the tilt on fences is nothing. A couple of years ago at Bromeswell I was patrolling at night with Sky and they were actively searching for easier spots to climb over the fence, and waiting until we were in the distance before getting into the stock pond. It found a carp we'd missed when netting. We had tail damage of a fish, one of our biggies, and she's lost weight, although could have been fully spawned out.

I was thinking a glazed pellety spod mix 😳

Think I paid about 230 for the Atom, I see the price has gone up since
