It went on very well, casted very well, had a good bed in. Think Sonik do changes without saying, a mate got the 1st batch of Sonik AXS Bivvy, when I got mine it was alot darker, had no covers flaps over the rear vent zips... Found out they had upgraded there material for the bivvys, so he got a full new bivvy without the ribs....

Off to the Lake now to bed in the lines, spooled on this morning.... But a very dark line this time compared to last Spool.... This is 18lb Camo Last Spool 15lb Camo

Looks and sounds like a decent dog... Little bit of TLC at that age and who knows. Nice colours for a Jack russel though. Good luck on that 1 pal.

The new line is now soaking for 24hrs, Sonik Camo SubSonik in 18lb this time. Will spool on in morning, then hopefully walk to the lake with Dog and bed the 3 rods in and the Spod/Marker also. Paying for my yearly ticket Friday, might try and get out for few hours Saturday morning but no promises. Then a few niggly bits like charge Ridgemonkey and get some new Duracells in Square, Double A and Triple A, for Delks, Radio, Head torches....

At moment I'm using ESP Tungsten Loaded Brown Semi Stiff for all my rigs, Bottom Bait, Wafters and Pop Ups... Bottom Bait and Wafters are all knot less knotted to a Nash Claw and a Piece of silicone on the bottom bend of the shank. (like a blow back) The Pop ups are a Ronnie Claw on the ESP with a Tungsten Bead holding the rig down. These are my main 2 rigs at moment I use on a Heli Safe Tubing Kit, about 6/7 Inch long.

Scumbags.... Happened in Summer to a mate, he put an advert on Facebook and offered a reward, but other anglers also looked out for it, 1 guy even found out who had most of his gear and broke into (well smashed his door in) flat for it all back.

£16 before even start work 🤯🤯... Nearly £6k...id be thinking of alternatives. Maybe time for a new battery?, at least you was out giving it a go... What bedchair is it?

Anyone seen these signs around there area.... Behind it is a ANPR Camera. So called for Green Air Areas.... Charges below but our new Car is fine....£10 A DAY for Cars... But doesn't say on here.

Hope you've got your Christmas hat on Elmo?.... Took boat for a spin yesterday withittle en, he loves and can't wait fish with it. Yep, it's not an Actor like I've been using with my mate, but it's a boat and can get me abit closer we're i think the fish might be.

Go get em Elmo 👍🎣... New Year Carp

Happy New Year all... Congratulations Elmo, deserve a 48hr that... Hope all goes well to the start of this year 🤞🤞

I've done the same few weeks ago...even though I've got the Manilla n Krill Active Wafters n Tuff ones. I've got some standard 12mm bottom Baits in both flavours, let them dry for few days, pored liquid over em, let that soak in, coated em in the matching Active Mix Powder, then left all to dry. Not checked for about a week now, will do soon. Then also done same but instead of pouring liquid over, let the 12mm dry out, cover with thin layer of matching paste, then lightly liquid them and add some Active Mix too.... Proppa pimped Baits I say.

Had the Sonik SK3 XTR (paid £60 2nd hand) for ALL 3....now on the Vader X Rods, Paid £100 BRAND NEW for all 3.....no issues at all ever.

So, did you all get what you asked nicely for?? 😁😁

Like others, I do it on a swim I e never fished, just take my rig off and 1 or 2 casts, but I know my water pretty well. But this year I've invested in all the finding gear, Spod n Marker Rod, feature/probe leads... I will doing this in a week or 2 after new year when quiet. There are a few swims on 2 of the waters I fish I want to get to know, and a few spots on a stretch of canal I've found.

Were only in a 2 bed semi, no room inside either.... Was either in this or mi nans garage, (Only up road).... But its been alright so far, all covered on house insurance and insured on the bank too...

Found it while having a browse and got me thinking.... Do like a rum or 2 myself... Only Artemi Honey Run though.

When using a helicopter rig, is this OK to do...? but not with maggots... Chops, Full, pellets.... Using the Korda Tubing Heli Safe kit, but not dropping the lead. Reckon the hook would get caught in bag? or would it be OK for close in work?

Is it wrong if I know 100% what the wife has got for me (stumbled across it by accident on her phone whe refunding an order for her)... but it's wrapped already in my lads room? I did ask for a cult tackle bedchair cover.... But its not that.

Spod Reel loaded with 40lb Spider Braid, 3kilo of each Krill and Manilla in a seperate bucket with Matching glug and Stik Mix, couple of Ronnie claws made up, some particle rigs made up, Just need a Sonik Sleeve now put Spod Rod in 😁 Had a good tidy and clean out of unit, new Alarm Sensor fitted too.

"Spod" mixes are usually Particle mainly... Hemp, Tigers, Tares, Sweetcorn, Full/Half/Crushed Boilies, pellet, Bit of Rocks Salt, Liquid choice or water.

Just registered new Delks, and once complete apparently they send you out a colour coded matching rubber case for the head? 😁 Also put together bits I won't be using, probably sell off I think.

Think this will be an item we should be receiving 😁😁, I've asked for alot this year, but I'll see what I end up with (not greedy honest).

The JRC Rova?... They both look decent, but like Elmo, it's the pattern of design and they are both good brands, but the Cult looks more comfy/inviting 😁

I was gonna say I've got scales pouch n gas cover, but there by speero.
