  1. The best baits are nearly always the ones that are a nightmare to roll and generally have a bit more going on attraction wise, baits that go through machines normally have had to take a hit somewhere on ingredients to get them to roll nicely

    Spodding over zigs?

    Completely water dependant imo. I had a great session spodding floaters over zigs after dark one hot summer night over on Swan @ Bluebell. God know how I got away with it as they're tricky kippers over there. I think it's ok on bigger more heavily stocked pits, less so on smaller or lightly stocked waters. It'd be the kiss of death on my current syndi - small and shallow - even getting the hookbaits out without spooking them is tricky. Wouldn't consider it for March if that's what you're getting at - I think keeping everything quiet will be critical for us.

    , I'm more thinking of using it as a cloud maker with a little pre baiting for a spring campaign, little bit of cloud and little spot prep at the same time ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    Me too. Decent. Better than the Fox stuff imo. Have you read his book, Forces of Nature? If not, go and get it immediately (๐Ÿ˜). It's right up there with Tel's books imo. Really, really good.

    Just spent ยฃ3.63 on on a band xpander off ebay. I think it will be useful. I spent a bit of time looking at the different zig bits and just liked the look of the thinking anglers ones, and being served by Oz was a treat, he picked me the best ones ๐Ÿ‘

    I was always a bit heavy handed or is it heavy fingered? with the green tool no wonder the manufacture give us 3 in the pack. Warming the kickers makes them slide over the tool easier. I use the thinking anglers zig gear ๐Ÿ‘

  13. 8075g of bait ๐Ÿ‘ got 7633 in boilie, 442 in paste ๐Ÿ‘ Gone for 18mm dumbells ๐Ÿ‘ even though it rolled well, I'm wondering if I added a little too much basemix, next time I'm thinking I might add like 100 - 200g less and let it rest a bit longer ๐Ÿ‘
