  1. I use my teeth to strip back about two inches from the hook. Nice and supple, but with a relevantly stiff rest of the hooklength.
  2. I just find a mono hair to be too stiff. Maybe it makes the bait appear unnatural? You just tie the hair to the hooklink as normal?
  3. Have been usign mono for all my hairs, however I just don't like how stiff the hair is. Have tried braid, but I find it tangles too easily. I take it coated braid would give me the best of both worlds?
  4. Thanks for the replies. I think what I shall do is fish one rod straight out, and also have my other rod close in the margins with slack line. Both with running rigs. Only had one carp so far this year, so open to critique.
  5. I was surprised when I read it was only 6 months. I was thinking of taking a look at Lakeside, but I've heard it is devoid of any fish.
  6. Just a non-day ticket water. Ideally a syndicate.
  7. Not sure whether to have a two pairs of bank sticks for my rods, or go with a buzz bar and have them sitting side by side. Any advice?
  8. You are not too far from me? I live just outside Hinckley.
  9. Getting quite tired of fishing commercial waters now. There are many reasons, but mostly because of poor conditioned/damaged fish and always cleaning up after other people. Would much rather fish a syndicate where people obey rules and respect the fish/environment. Can anyone recommend me a decent venue in the Midlands area?
