All said! Now come here little hooks, let's land some carps 😁

Is that recipe a miracle for cough right? My options are a good cup of coffee or tea in cold weather, or a nice fresh beer in summer!

Hi All, as stated in title, what drink do you all prefer in winter...below is my Winter Drink (in hand as I'm typing)...HOT TODDY. 8oz Hot Water 2oz Bourbon (JD) 1 Tablespoon Honey 1 Squirt Lemon Juice It's goin down a treat...😁😁

Due to unseasonally warm weather, it will be awhile until we start fishing this winter (it takes 10" of ice before we can drive on the lake). I usually take a thermos of coffee and sometimes a small flask of whiskey.

They are brilliant hooks mate. Very expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Thank you all for your opinions and experiences! A great help! Ordered a pack of Gardner Mugga Specialist Sharpened, now i'm waiting for them to try it saturday!

I don't like using a leader either, but this year I had to after I discovered that the bottom was littered with blocks of concrete, bricks, tiles etc, and the possibility of long casting. 30lb Amnesia to 15lb mainline! Basically I was fishing in a reservoir that is over old houses, a road and other such. The thicker leader meant I was able to fish, even so I still lost a couple of fish, snapped hooklink and one smashed above the leader on a helicopter set-up. I started a thread on that link below. As I said in that thread, I make sure my lead or rig can be ejected, a large run ring that will pass over any snapped end, or if a helicopter set-up, a rig that can come off the end. You DO NOT want the lead ejected on a helicopter set-up. It is the lead that allows the rig to pull free, so no to Heli-safe for me as I think that is one item that is not safe.

Used to be PG all the way then they brought out their more expensive range, the quality dropped on the basic PG bags so i gave yorkshire a try they are strong but i sometimes leave the tea bag in the cup as i like a strong brew mrs hates it really does stain the cup and teeth lol.

I just had a look the one I saw is a beaked chod hook, in my opinion they aren't the one for a multi or a Ronnie, the eye is the wrong angle for those rigs which would leave the hook sitting backwards,
