Personally the best brolly systems I think are the Fox Brolly Systems (Any) but I do have concerns of the New Ultra 60 (Ventec) system as I've heard the thread on the centre screw/pole is abit like chocolate ?

Never fished a zig yet (I don't think 🤔🤔)

Think after all the reading n looking up...I'm gonna stay with a lead Clip as I can turn it into a running rig with a pinch to the (lead) clip and make the hole wider.

May experiment with 1 on each next time...👍👍

It's really versatility as only 1 water at moment I fish is weedy, I've always used lead Clip...inlines for me are mainly for PVA bag fishing, but I like the look of Heli setups, but I won't be dumping the lead either, as stated not a weed water fisher, most of the lakes I fish either have mud/clay bottom. It's just the versitily of changing from a bottom to a pop up by a quick change. Yeh can do on both setups but also thinking of tangles, lead Clip not to bad but Heli to me is 100% tangle free.

Hi all, Decisions... I've got both lots of Terminal but I'm contemplating between Korda Lead Clip Action Pack (clay) or Korda Dark Matter Helicopter Setup (Clay) I do EXACTLY what the lead Clip shows on the pack. But also have 3 of these too...only used once. but the helicopter looks a throw anywhere setup.

I have 2 lots of Ronnie's...below With loops/krimps and coated braids.

eBay do sheets of Carp, Slogans,...etc quite cheap too

Gonna look at the gutters over weekend if not too bad weather... That's a good point about the time of application..👍 In the middle of Repointing between bedroom and living room window where it's worse....our front of the house ALWAYS bears the brunt of the weather... Ain't you lot Greeeaaaaatttt... 🐅

Well...from the car chaos last week to this week... Leaking window lint above living room window into house... Between the bedroom and living room window over the years the Mortar has corroded....so guess what I'm doin today / tomorrow / all week...Repointing front of the house and gonna try and seal in with Water/Weather proof sealant cream 😭😭😭

Not that fussed about car... Kids still up playing Fortnite...

Well...Car has given up on me...Engine blown...too much to restore. Hopefully get the wife around to using hers 🤞🤞 Tonight....it's myself and 7 kids for my son's "Fortnite themed sleepover"...so far all's good.

What water that Finch ??

Probably said it before but I spray all my Wafter & Pop Ups with the dedicated bait sprays to match....BUT this morning I've put 1 Sticky Pineapple Wafter with dedicated Spray (left) and another (right) Sticky Pineapple Wafter but this is (coated) Glugged in Pineapple Korda Goo... So far I've had more interest and an aborted take on the Glugged bait 🤔🤔...both fished at same range and spread about 3 rods apart...

I do t think I'll ever change...it 1 fish so far this year and 2 fish since September...😁😁

I use Manilla Pop Ups and Wafters, every other day a give them a few squirts of Manilla Bait Spray. Now I've started to use Stix Mix and this made up of Manilla 2mm Pellets, Manilla Powder all mixed in Manilla Cloudy Liquid...fished with a boosted Manilla Wafter. When I start to Spod this year (Spod Mix already bought) I will be adding Manilla Pellets, Boilies and the Cloudy Liquid also. (Think I love Manilla??)

Which one that pal...

Got some korda Big Eye Specialists Swivels...

Better attempt at the Marker Boom...stiffer boom and bigger eye 😁

This is Mainly what I will be doing...Hopefully this Saturday... I've got a map of the lake with what pegs are which but no in-depth readings...I will be noting, The peg No. How many wraps to Middle, then half way out, feeling all the way back for features. So hopefully a few good hrs spent searching. Thanks all for your input...Spodding will mainly be on anything 24hrs or more...use Bags for day sessions 👍

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.
