so first time out since september and managed a cheeky day session on local water, great start to the day as not only did my landing net snap on the first fish but also my bite alarm decided it would snap at the bracket so maybe some glue later might work but not convinced. new bite alarm turned up in the shape of this beautiful Robin just sitting on the rod for what seemed like ages
despite all of that it was a wonderful feeling being bakside again and had a lovely time with a few very nice carp reckon all under 5lb, will also post up the awesome pic i got of a a carp photobombing my picture of ducks....
Wow that's some supply of sticky. When the misses next tell me I'm buying to much bait I'll just use this in my defense I think. I'll also tell her look he needs a shed for all his bait ๐.
It could also lose you a few quid if that mono snaps or frays against the metal, I did attach my deeper with braid for a while but quite frankly it slowed the boat right down with drag and could tangle with the line you are trying to send out and that can be a right chore as you can't drop the rig because it's snagged on the deeper and by the time you have it back it's a tangled mess or you've got line round the prop. If I was you I would look at the boat specific options and save on hassle.
Just so people know, I do often do 2 and 1 on single sticks.
I do like the stability of a goalpost setup, but if one rod is better placed in another direction.
The one on single sticks is over a mix of mashed bread, particles, crushed boilies, worms and molehill soil, while the two are being fished with stringers over boilies.
