Never done clothes...heard of doing luggage with the Spray Fabsil. Would it be any clothes or to Re-Proof waterproofs?

I have always used Fabsil Gold...not just for waterproofing, as Gold also stops the fading due to the Sun's UV rays. You can use it straight in neat, but I've also used 5ltr Fabsil to 1ltr water. Make sure it's a good dry day to let it all take affect. Personally I use a BIG sponge and work my way from top to bottom, like washing ure car. But yeh, make sure bivvy/brolly is clean and dry before starting.

I am now really REGRETTING selling the spod setup...this is something I am now going to get my teeth into more... Need to look for another setup now (preferblay SONIK) and distance sticks. Clipping up...hitting the Spot...BOSH 😂😂

Yeh that's it...there simular though...think ures may have a bigger peak and mine has 1 more rib.

My Mate wanted 1 too...think I got 1 of the last too... There some good buys on the sites...

The brolly was 2nd hand... The bivvy was off Amazon...i think @smufter also got 1 ??? Carpzone there self is 279.99... It is an awsome bivvy but hard work on ure own...

For days and quick sessions = Brolly for me. Nights I use my 2 man bivvy as 90% of time little lad comes too. My brolly is a Fox Supa Brolly mk2 60" £50 off a mate but no front or groundsheet...buying a wrap soon though. My 2man Bivvy is a Carpzone All Seasons 2man £125 (full system) Groundsheet Wrap and 2 lots of pegs. It mahoosive.

Cyprinus is a good start for a new new bivvy...but second hand could throw up a bargain or 2 for that price... 👍👍

Oooo....hope it gets right for then 👍

100%

Wife away again from Dinner time tomorrow until Sunday evening...wonder where I will be ??🤔🤔 Saturday Morning (early) until dark...hopefully a good 12hrs. Sunday just a few hrs...lunch till dark.

Coming along nicely now...few sprays every other day...then letting them air dry 😁

Don't like the look of the double extractor rods...not keen on rods that telescopic (dwarfs,scopes)...but the upgraded Vader X models look nice...also the brolly that starts as a day shelter and can be turned into a full system...but 129.99 for the wrap naaaa

Couldn't agree more @elmoputney, once I asked for just 1 eye replacement for my SK3 XTR rods...they sent the full rod set... There trade show did look great...especialy the Gizmo alarms ...

I have the SKS rod bag but hoping to upgrade all to the SK TEK range... Rods..Reels..Alarms..Weigh Sling..just need SK TEK rod bag n 2 Carryalls.

Be more or less same as last year...few kg of bait and PVA...see what else on offer. Hopefully Sonik have some clothing range by then...

Yeh they did...but was a good day. I was there for about 7.30/8 am near to front but built up quick... Hopefully some more good deals next year..

Which one...early bird...flexi...standard or bumper pack. Was gonna go bumper but seeing mrs spent abit on gear for mi birthday...best not be greedy.

Anyone going 2020 ?? Pre registered for my ticket...bought tonight...sure its dearer this year ? Going Sunday 23rd Feb 2020.

No not me...went back to shop for some Footy Cards

Didn't last long...doesn't want it now...says hard to fly.

Would this fit the Mk2 60" Supa Brolly ???

The local lake i fish @finchey also...there are (Flyers) that people head straight to with no thought at all "I want that 1"...spomb n spomb n spomb...so it does tend to push them away (my opinion even scare them off)...so scouring the lake and fish to shows until some time has passed and fish on the back of the spombed area...

I am confident that I know what I'm doing though and I know how to find the fish. Sometimes you just cant though and you have to make you're best judgement on previous knowledge and the conditions, if that is the case and I blank then I dont worry too much about it. Lots of points coming across and i am agreeing with most of them... Own ties rigs....reliable bait...finding fish etc etc etc

What gives you all the Confidence to go (Carp) Fishing ? It seems that a lot of people out there who read the mags, take the advice from all forms of literature, buy the items of tackle and bait that they have taken a decision on through reading the articles, go to their venues and don’t do as well as they thought they would. Then what happens is that doubts start to creep into the mindset (we are all human after all) and this is a natural reaction for anyone. The cycle then repeats itself with more bait and tackle, new rigs, etc., and along the way we may catch a few, we may blank? and so on and so forth. "Every Blank is another step closer to Success" So, how do we gain that confidence? Personally, i don't really do anything. What I try to do is be confident everytime qhen fishing. The rigs, bait and tackle haven’t changed. Simply become confident in what im doing, which leads to success, which leads to more confidence. confidence = success = confidence. It only takes one bite... Be confident and success will always follow... Thoughts welcomed 🎣🎣
