Monster  particles had a massive sale on like10kg for a tenner

Me and mate used  to go a local pond that was pasty bashing. We used try what  weird baits we could use had a few on sweets. 

I'll have a look at thoose then

Any of the pre-stretched lines have low stretch but you sacrifice abrasion resistance. If you want better abrasion resistance you can go for a semi-stretched line like Technium Black or GT-HD.
I have a mate that told me about a test he read in which Hydro Tuff came out with lower stretch than the semi-stretched lines. That really surprised me as Hydro Tuff is a full on snag line with amazing abrasion resistance. Worth checking out as that makes it a very special line indeed (it's what I use and have used since before I heard about this test). I use the .40 (20lb) and still get a banging drop so I can believe it.

18lb river fish  I had on a feeder rod when i was  14-16.   Still remember  the feeling when it broke the surface

👍👍..those the ones...but ive also bought the 4th orange alarm.
April 2018...thats also what Sonik said when i i quired about repairs...they will service/repair...if they cant they will send a brand new replacement (if registered for the lifetime guarantee)

No idea why never thought of that.  Think fox do a slow melt one anyway Quick cover of oil and groundbait should  help aswell

I'll give it a go. Only get the pva to last till it hits the river beds which isn't that long at all 

You can make any particles PVA friendly by adding salt bud.
For tigers you might be better off dusting them with groundbait instead.

like most people have said it differs from lake to lake but ill never go onto a new lake and rule either method out, even if im told its a boilie water ill still use particle and see for myself.
I haven't fished particle for a few year due to the amount of bream I was getting on my current water but I would usually fish at least 1 rod on particle.

For this runs water and in the interest of keeping cost down, use alternatives, Pigeon conditioner, Maples, Maize, Vitalin, Groats. Hemp is great, But i have done a season without using hemp and i still caught well enough.

Nah, if you're struggling for £££ you're better off buying a spod rod that will last indefinitely than you are some boilies that you chuck in the lake mate.

Tbh I'm juat after getting a few fish theese days especially  on one of my lakes which is basically a runs water.
 I dont have the time or money to sit there and fill it in with  boikies for the bigger fish and as I've said before with the river I do a lot of prebaiting so cost is big factor. 
I get what your saying about the hemp tiger combo  just because  I dont see people using it doesn't mean people aren't 

Oh good should be some review going round then.    Not dropping 120 without a good review or two.  My cheap small set up is starting get pricy 

Did any one get one of the scopes spod rods?
 
Doesn't anyone know when the  dwarf 4.5tc are due out wanna go look at them before buying. Will be using more particles soon  and will need to reinvest in spod rod..

chances are some of the randoms will be the bait I use. 100% confidence mate.  they also do random pop ups and wafters 

Why each to  own and that but  I'll give it ago.  Maybr settle on half normal bait and half over runs  still work out a lot cheaper for bulking the bait out  makes  picking a hookbait eaiser too

I think the randoms are £35 for 10kg if my memory serves me right 

I dont have any intention  of going back 10 my 12ft one unless I have no choice  but too

Yeah set mine up for the evening I just take the hold then  if I need a shelter the quiver shame I just forked out the money on lo pro because    would like a shelter wuth the same pack now haha

Do finally for have a proper  look at the rods and 1st impressions are i love them i get 50mm butt ring put on them just as I love the look of 50mm butt rings 

Ok thanks I got 10ft 3.5lb  so they should be able  to  do what I need by sound of it there due tommrow
