    Got myself a spod rod and just about to set it up, the reel is filled with 18lb big game. now the guy I bought them off said he didn’t have a problem casting this to 100 yards without any leader and hitting the clip, so my question is do we agree this is ok to do? I’m only casting a small spomb around 60-70 Yard’s max,

    If you want to send it to me I’ll solder it back on and I have the connectors here, wouldn’t want anything for doing it, you just pay postage? Unless your near measham I’ll do it while you wait? Just done my super xl’s

    Ah right sorry about that! I am watching a few on eBay so I’ll stick with them 🤭

    I’m looking to start fishing three rods so I’m looking for an optonic super xl bite alarm and a Shimano aero gt4500 baitrunner, showing my age a bit now 😯, anyone have one of these knocking around the shed?

    Not sure I trust my scales anymore, my Reuben Heaton we’re spot on 25 years but have been lying in a bag for long long time! So what would you guys recommend? What about digital ones?

    Having returned to carping after 20 odd years I’m still using the mk1 Fox swingers, right now I don’t see any need to update them,, talking of isotopes I did my first night last Saturday and couldn’t believe as it started to get dark they lit up!!! Dimmer but still usable after 20 + years..

    Once I’m back into the swing of things again I’d like to find a nice syndicate within an hours drive of Ashby de la zouch, I’ve got willesley on my door step but I think £600 is a bit steep, maybe wrong though? Not too worried about the size of fish just an old carpy looking lake will do me..
  24. Old school
    Yes I agree think I paid around £150 for my original jrc one in the early nineties! I’ve gone for the jrc one in the link for £99 delivered and I’ll get a sleeping bag for it,

    Thanks for that I’ll try and find the fish and look for those swims, how close together are we talking? Need to get a two man bivvy in as well, is that going to be too big?
