  1. Another vote for the lo pro, perfect for 1 or 2 nights
  2. Drennan super specialist, fits nicely on my 10ft dwarf holdall
  3. I think a lot of people are more concerned about their bobbins looking good bankside than the reasons they are using those bobbins. I mainly use 2 types, a set of Fox slik bobbins in the main and a set of fox euro swingers for longer range stuff when I want to tension the line. Nothing fancy but they do the job I want them too
  4. I have one of these https://www.totalfishinggear.co.uk/buy.cfm/beds/tf-gear-flat-out-bedchair/39/no/113849 can be a bit bulky but that’s outweighed by the comfort, absolutely superb
  5. I have 2 10ft dwarfs 2.75tc they have served me well so far and have also come in handy on the river for a bit of barbel fishing
  6. I have a pair of cork handled 101s, 50 quid each at the time on a water where I needed something with a bit of a backbone. They are fantastic for the money, highly recommended. It really is amazing how much did you can now get for your money in the 50-100 bracket
  7. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/vass-r-boot have a look at these as well, best thermal boots I’ve owned by far
  8. I use yellow fox black label ones, touch wood been fine for a year now
  9. Use both the semi stiff and soft, top drawer
  10. Is that the kastking stuff? Makes quite good spod ding braid as it floats I don't think you can soak it in anything but I see from another post you've switched from mono to braid because you're getting cut off snag fishing, ever thought about using a mono snag leader instead? Braid as a mainline is so unforgiving
  11. Double handles, just can't get on with them...
  12. Seconded for the esp lo pro
  13. Bucket hat, you forgot the bucket hat!
  14. Berkley big game in green, once you get past the initial springiness of the line it's been a joy to use.
  15. Another vote for the tungsten loaded from esp, miles ahead of alternatives
  16. I wouldn't go with them for rods but I've got bits of luggage from them and they are fine
  17. Nash siren s5 i have the r3s but a friend has the s5 and they are indestructible
  18. Big shout for the c101s from wychwood, might be worth finding somewhere that does the 2.5 tc by the sounds of what you want them for
  19. Wychwood c101s 50 quid a pop
  20. I use them, only had 2 outings since they were purchased but so far they are fantastic. So much better build quality than Delkims and definitely on a par with the equivalent fox alarms
  21. Both Korda and fox do naked line heli set ups
  22. Use them as normal pop ups? I've never had issues with the wafters from mainline being over buoyant... possibly a bad batch?
  23. At the risk of starting another Korda argument I really can't see the problem with what they do. They promote their products just like any other company does, maybe mr fairbrass could do a little less shouting when he nets a fish... that would be a bit more "wicked man"
  24. Isn't a Krank a lightweight hook? I fish mainline wafters on size 6 Kurv shanks tied kid style and they are fine
  25. I find a 15mm mainline wafters works well with a size 7
