I can see what you mean now I've just put me glasses on. 😵

Looking good for a run there mate. 😀

You learn something new every day on this forum.

If she's anything like my missus mate she wouldn't have a clue. My wife can't tell the difference between one fishing rod from another. Enjoy your day on the bank and good luck with the fishing today smufter.

Of course I don't I'm a northerner.

Thanks for that Smufter.

What length is your bedchair Smufter?

I don't really have the crayfish problem were I fish. So I'll have a look at sainsbury's and see if they still do it. Cheers.

Yes I wasn't going to buy the minty stuff.

Hi and welcome to the forum Shaun.

For those of you that use bait floss I was wondering do you use the fishing specific with carp tax or do you use the cheap supermarket stuff? Cheers.

It's sounds like a really hard water you are targeting, But when they come on the feed they are stunning fish judging from your photo's from previous catch. Better luck next week mate. I'm going myself on Monday its also a hard water where I'm going and I'm from up north so I'm going with no great expectations. If I manage to snare one it will be a bonus and they are also stunning fish really dark almost black. I just can't wait to get out on the bank I don't get too go very often.

Good luck smufter.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

That's what it's all about dayvid sharing.

Something else to add to the never ending shopping list.

Good shout smufter, I used finger nails and teeth last time I knocked some rigs up it was ok but I would imagine a lot easier with one of these tools. I think I will have to get myself one of these.

I used to fish 12 months a year for them, you will get some great sport from them in the summer months but please please give them plenty of recovery time. Don't forget they look hard as nails but they are a very delicate fish. Good luck with your fishing Danny.

I enter all there competitions every month. I just keep an on the website and enter them when they come on, would be rude not too.

Yes I am a very happy bunny mate. I don't know much about these only what I've read online do you know if they are they any good?

I've only gone and won myself a sonic bedchair, sleeping bag and pillow. I don't know if they are any good but can't complain for FREE.

Cheers I shall order myself one of those.

Is this what you mean?

Where did you get your adapter from cloud9. Any links matey.

Hi Rob. With being a newbie myself the only advice I can give you is have a really good search on this forum. There is a weath of knowledge on here I have learnt a lot just buy searching and reading on here. Also I'd have a look on YouTube for how to tie your rigs but what I did was took advice of here and just keep it simple. Simple hair rigs to start. And like someone already said rods and reels that you use for your piking should do too start. Being a pike angler myself thats just what I did. It's not worth spending your budget on new rods and reels. Spend it on your terminal tackle and all the other items you are going to need for carping. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will be along to tell me. Lol. The main thing is get out there and enjoy your fishing.
