No worries pal...think the only thing I've paid over £150 each for is my Bivvy..3 Reels and 3 Alarms.

Reading a deeper is quicker...but to me there's no satisfaction in that... Feeling your led down pulling a few foot to feel the bottom...tap tap tap on gravel n a smooth glide for silt or mud... Once I know the bottom I will then attach my float to mark the depth. Deepers can tell you how deep n what is there but also don't have £150+ to read a lake.

His All This year Marking & Spodding is on the top of my list...1 water I'm hoping to Hammer this year (seen the local BIG 26lb Dark resident). Got all my Spod setup ready, but hoping to walk the lake at weekend to mark up...I've been looking at a few Marker setups and come up with making my own system. Got a Float off a friend and the Link I've made myself (below). 35lb Korda Boom covered in shrink tube for more stiffer use...quick change link at bottom for lead covered with Tail rubber...Big eye swivel for braid to pass through covered with Tail rubber...both sides Krimped. Saved myself about £5 for the Link but about £12 over all with the float too.

Looks decent...I always start at the back and do it 1 peg at a time like in a zig zag...back point 1st...then left then right then left then right...then finish on the 2 door pegs....usually you can tell when groundsheet goes in were needs pullinng/loosening.

Case has a little belt clip/latch attached to the back of it... Lanyard is just a standard lanyard...I've attached mine to the receiver clip.

Finally Received.... 3 x ATTs 4magnet Rollers...ATTs Lanyard...ATTx Receiver Leather Pouch...Energiser Batteries to fit ATTs Alarms n ATTx Receiver. I'll stick a pic on later...

@smufter has 1 I think from here... www.amazon.co.uk/Quest-Fishing-Overnight-Shelter-Brolly/dp/B074QVR8PB Mine is Carpzone (similar)...2man bivvy and wrap.

Old Oaks Etangs Max St Amunds Anyone been to any of these..had a good look and few mates reccomend these...maybe 2021 September.

using a blend of liquid food products, an exclusive peanut protein and Madagascan vanilla extract, With no synthetic chemicals or flavours added. A natural liquid with a combination of highly soluble liquid foods as well as salts and sugars. This Peanut protein is blended with other nut flours, along with a complex selection of milk proteins. The attractor package is a pungent creamy vanilla, which is produced by a pure Madagascan Vanilla (Manilla) extract that actually contains real Vanilla beans. "A few statements"...

I now always tend to give my Boilies a "Spray" every other day and let air dry. Sticky Pineapple & Butyric..Mainline Pink Almond..Sticky Manilla. But now I'm running out of my Manilla spray....I have the thicker Glug....what's Reckon to 100ml Hot Water to about 5/10ml of THICK Glug...think it would be right consistency to spray out ??

Only got a 50mm for Soniks.

What rod Elmo...I asked Sonik for 1 eye for my rod...Sent me the FULL rod worth of eyes...

Hopefully Sunday 🤞

I need it...getting withdrawals now.

Not really Elmo...probably save half for bait in summer (spod mix n stuff) other half like Terminal gas n bits n bobs...don't nee nothing big like a chair bed bag or out...but may see if the JRC 60" Brolly wrap will fit my fox Brolly as when there both setup they look identical.

Your a very lucky man @dayvid...
