quick overnighter tonight, set up in catfish corner

No fish this time but enjoyed the trip…. Had to sleep in one of them mummy style bags again as forgotten my bag the brother inlaw came to the rescue and brought some pegs for the den forgot them too.

The albrite knot whips up say 7 turns and back down say 5 like a mahin knot the trick is to keep the whippings tight not spread out up the line and make sure you go back through the loop the same way. the real difference is a mahin knot has the overhand knot in the leader and the albrite just tucks through a loop. not tried this myself but I have just thought about half a mahin knot and half grinner knot the leader and grinner on the mainline if it works I’ll call it a grinnin lol i also use another knot that is a cross between a grinner and a blood knot I’ve never had that come undone.

4 on the leader and 5 on the Mainline 4 turn on the grinners for the hybrid lead clips for the new leaders I've just made 😲 Kids are at brownies for a bit I'm enjoying my downtime with some prep work 😂

NGT 17 ish quid on ebay fox braid sucks Gardner kinetic spod braid was also good

What spod braid are you using? Allbright is quite easy once you've done a couple, I'm quite enjoying learning new knots tbh even if I don't use them all its good to practice

I must've watched a video that called an allbright a Uni knot or something cos I've been tying an allbright knot not a uni knot. I'm gonna give it one last try today with a back to back grinner I watched a fox vid last night and Harry Charrington said the b2b grinner works with mono to mono I'm getting in a right old knot fluster lol, allbright will work well for you Highy with a shock leader

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.

Try it with a different leader material just in case try mono doesn’t matter what BS

Is he still doing bait ,as i thought he had stopped doing bait from what my mate told me. Me and a few mates were on the supaminos for the last 12 years, well I was until I started the sea fishing.

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

Well I got to say they work a treat and if I might add very cheap too whats not to like 👍

You can catch two 👍

Just got 10kg of premier superaminos base mix with their shellfish sense appeals flavour
