I tried to use a big spod on my rod, what a poor idea... Give us some feedback when you try those little avid please
-
So in your experience must match the size (or weigh) of the spod/spomb to rod power to prevent tangle?
-
I usually fish in wild waters and I prefer a subtle approach during the sessions. I'll probably use a big spomb for pre-bait, and a tiny one during short sessions
-
Will be my solution for now, i usually don't spod huge amounts of bait while fihsing. In a near future i'll look for a dedicated rod+reel to pre-bait campaigns.

Hi anglers! Today i was looking for a spod set (rod+reel) cause I'm afraid to break my rods when spodding (i'm using 3lb rods), but right now i can't afford a good set. I remember that Gardner has a tiny rocket spod, they say that it weights between 2 or 3 ouces when filled. Anyone using one of those small spods? Thoughts about it?
-
Saw that weigh sling somewhere at £39,99, so thanks for your link I'm Portuguese, living in Portugal. In this case it would be worth the trip to shop and try it in UK

The net i have now is one like that one from the photo. It has near 20 years, is a bit weak and small. Had a big trouble landing a 17lb carp with it. Looking for a new one (or maybe used if can find a good offer), with a fish friendly mesh, and bigger. I'm looking for something affordable, but prefer to pay a bit more for something good that last for a couple of years.

Hello guys. I'm looking for a new landing net. I was using an old from my dad, but in some occasions I had some trouble to free the carp from it (mesh wraps around the dorsal fin). Now I'm looking for a new one that doesn't do the same. Any suggestions? PS.: I'll buy in a near future a weigh sling, looking for recommendations

Nice christmas carp dayvid!

A few pike including a new PB over 20lb
Machali replied to salokcinnodrog's topic in Predator Catch Reports
Well done, nice pikes! Never caught one, here in Portugal they just live in a low number of waters. Maybe in January I'll try my first pike on spinning rod! Congrats for your catches -
https://www.urbanbait.co.uk/latest-news/maggot-fishing-for-carp-in-winter Anyone tryed it?
-
All said! Now come here little hooks, let's land some carps 😁
-
Thank you all for your opinions and experiences! A great help! Ordered a pack of Gardner Mugga Specialist Sharpened, now i'm waiting for them to try it saturday!
-
Is that recipe a miracle for cough right? My options are a good cup of coffee or tea in cold weather, or a nice fresh beer in summer!
-
In my opinion they look good for multi rig. Using them in Ronnie rig I believe will change the mechanism of the rig because of the position of the eye in the hook
-
My options were Fox Curve Shank, Korda Kurv, or ESP. Read somewhere in the forum that Korda aren't really sharp so excluded. I'll try those ESP size 6 thanks for your help one more time!
-
About the ronnie, which hook are u using mates? I need to buy some hooks. Any advice about it? Looking for really sharp hooks. Usually i use wide gape for bottom presentations, but now in winter i'll use ronnie or multi rigs with PVA sticks, or inside PVA bags. Which hook would i use for it? I'm using 14mm pop-ups, woyuld i use size 6 hooks?
-
I read somewhere on internet that fermented particles works really nice, but rotten particles can make fish move away from the swim for weeks... My bucket has a bit of mold in
-
Sorry to know about your losses guys. Hope the best for you and your family 🙏
-
I'll do the test! Thank you mate! Other question: As we know, carp has a really sensitive smell sense. How should i wash the sour smell from it? I don't like to use cleaning products on my bait buckets because of chemicals used in those products
-
Hello guys! Some weeks ago i scheduled a session with a friend, filled a bucket with corn to soak it before boil to pre-bait the swim. We had to re-schedule, and i forgot the bucket full of corn. So it is soaking since october 13! Should i take it to the garbage and prepare a new bucket, or boil that same corn? I prepare my own particles (corn, wheat, hemp seed, bird food) respecting the preparation guide posted by yonny, but never leaved it for so much time, and i don't know if the quality of it can be compromised.
-
Hello everyone! Looking for new lines for my reels, found that Shimano Aero Specimen Line 18lb @ 5£. Never used it. Did anyone used it? any opinion about it? other recommendations?
-
should i get a load of different bait?
Machali replied to pukkacarp's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
I think there no problem mixing diferent bait, i do it too but with a slighly diference... I don't mix diferents types of boilies. My recipes takes some wheat, hemp, bird food, a bit of sweet corn, some pellets (various sizes) and boilies (a bit of crumble + chopped boilies), but just with one type of boilies. I do it to try the boilies, and always fish with the same boilies i baited. In long sessions (24hr or more) I would mix more than one type of boilies just to try to see what boilies work better in that water. Add chopped boiles and a bit of crumble of 2 or 3 different boilies to the mix, bait an area and cast to there, trying one diferent boilie on one different rod.
