Very expensive hobby, no matter whether you're just taking it up buying budget gear or experienced buying higher end stuff. There's so many things to buy especially terminal, the values in tackle boxes would shock us no doubt.
Then bait as you say, even sweetcorn is expensive now, my mate bought luncheon meat for catfish and was over £4 a can - bread is probably the only value item.
Then god help you if you think I'll buy sea kit for holidays and predator kit for winter!
It's never ending. 🤷♂️
Exactly, that's why I think I'm sticking to 1 Discipline, even 2nd now are wanting near retail....

Hi Guys,
As the Tiltle says.....
Match Fishing
Carp Fishing
Besides the Tackle, Gear n Bait.....you've got your Diesel, Food, Drinks,....is it a Day ticket, 24/48hr, Syndicate.....
What is the Style of Fishing, then can Focus on the gear for the Job in hand....Feeder, Waggle, Pole, Alarms, Method.....
Personally I think "Bait" is the dearest expense as we can get to consumed in all of them.

I've had a set of Shimano 5000 baitrunners for years, Bought them for barbel fishing on the Severn and suited my early carp fishing sessions on small estate lakes.
My mate has some Basia's that he bought when his mum left him some money when she died and he said he always though of her when using them. Unfortunately my mum died a few months ago and I decided to upgrade to some Shimano XTE's out of some money she left me. Waited for Black Friday and got them for £136 each despite being £160 elsewhere. (I did try Carp.com honestly Nick but they were £180 and always out of stock!)
Hoping for this spell of cold weather to break so I can christen them.
Shimano are discontinuing the 14000 XTD...£120 @ Angling Direct for limited time only, Once there Gone, there Gone.

Gonna put this out there.......I've really been looking at FULL Match Setups and even people wanting to swap there Match Setuos for Carp Setups.
100% staying on the Carp Front now, reasons being.....
Can Relax more, Take the Dog n Son when I can, (not able to really when Coarse/Match Fishing), but lad can have a Dabble with his float gear.

i am a self confessed maggot drowner and still love chasing silvers, only started targetting carp in the last few years and spent quite a bit of time building up the gear. still have my float rods and set ups and occasionally will hit a day ticket with one rod set for carp and the other for silvers or tench/bream on a feeder or float.
that way i can still enjoy both but have different rod/tackle bags for each just to make it easier when i go out, if only going for carp i have my 2 rod holdall but if i fancy a go on specimen as well then i take one rod out and stick it in my coarse set up. i see no need to get rid of gear i have spent time and money aquiring as will often go for both to break the monotony and have a break from blanking on a session as you can always guarentee silvers or tench with a coarse set up
go for both and have fun as that is the way i approach my fishing and it keeps my skills and interest up in both disciplines as not a predator angler but might fancy that next time i want a change of scene

A little yeh, the mate has entered his name in a Christmas/New Year Match, it happens every year on this 1 lake, and also the local club has matches 3 times a week.

I've quite enjoyed the Rudd bashing this year but not at the cost of selling my carp stuff that's still no1.
Surely you can just build up some bits as you go?
Got a few bits, but I'm 1 of them, either all or nothing....its something I'm really thinking about at moment

Several years ago I took the dog for a walk over the local common and saw a car at the bottom of a steep grassy slope with the back wheels in a ditch. When I walked past again about half an hour later there was a large recovery vehicle with a pulley hoisting it back up the slope with a woman stood by the side. As I walked past the woman, I said "What happened, did somebody pinch it?" "No" she replied sheepishly, "I was doing a 3 point turn......" I just about kept a straight face!

Hi recently purchased 3 in 1 bite alarms so just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem that I have with my receiver after a hour of turning it on a continuous weird noise starts to make then it switches itself off after replacing a new battery it then starts doing the same it's obviously not working properly would appreciate any feedback on this all the best Dave
I would contact Sonik directly, awsome service.
customerservices@soniksports.com
If you've bought from a Shop with receipt of purchase I'd ask to Exchange. I used to have these alarms, good budget alarms, but didn't last to long with me, as I thought the Bite response was very delayed. Gave them to my Son and now use the Gizmo (All Blue Set)

Something that I noticed a couple of months ago, the Bank tackle and original Solar Buffer beads I was using to protect the knot with a run ring are absolutely perfect for sliding the run ring on to to make a semi-fixed bolt rig. A quick shake and the run ring becomes free running again.
I'm an avid run rig user on all my rods, even for zigs 🤣🤣.

Still have all the Manilla only, but a water I'm going to after New year reacts to Krill/Crab/Fishy baits ONLY, sounds weird but I've asked alot about it and they have all said the same....No Particle, Pellets, or anything like that....Boilie only seems to be the Aproach, so with the Bio Marine on offer I had to swoop at it, if not, then I'll jump on a catfish water later in year 👍
