I am a big fan of the KD rig but I fish it with a snowman setup so the hook is flat on the bottom, A long hair and with half of a inch striped back of the coated braid with a B.B. pinched on the break. The rig looks... well weird but works for me.

Dial-a-bites that made me smile. Lovely fish and pics again...but to see a fish that you know could be a 50 it’s defo a heart stopper. 👍

Edmund Cooper Transit The 1st SF book I read. Easy to read not to long winded. ( not like this post ) When my brother moved out of the family home he left it behind I inherited his bedroom and the book.... and his bull worker lol ...always wanted to read it again so over the many years i kept a eye out for it in charity shops, bookshops and car boots never any luck, anyway I’m in the airport waiting for a flight 30 years odd later and there sitting opposite is a young lady reading the book so I tells her the story of me looking for the book we have a laugh have a couple of drinks. I go to the bar come back with the drinks and there on the table is the book but no sign of her, I open the book and there on the inside cover she wrote “I enjoyed the chat so enjoy the book Linda x” I read and enjoyed all the book on the holiday.... but went and left it behind at the Hotel 🙄

Got to agree with The Wilt series, The early Spike Milligan books had me laughing

The dark Mirror defo looks mean..... great pics 👍

Im glad you got it ..... I was thinking come on ... come on. Must have been a great relief seeing the tail. And all this in the winter 👍

Daiwa Sensor jumbo spool 8lb 1,855m just under £10 use that for float and feeder and carp off the top, iv had carp up to 16lb on it been using the brand for donkeys yeas X line fluoro not sure what breaking strain it’s been on the spools forever use this for small waters where a softly softly approach is needed.....I find i need to wipe the xline during the session as it seems to get dirty I just use a baby wipe must the segment in the water ? Fox Exocet wow what a line highly recommended 👍 first used it in France in 12lb on a big water as I didn’t have a bait boat, 12lb is a bit Stretchy if you give it the big heave ho with a 3oz weight and no shock leader tho ... so I changed spools to the 15lb glad I did the 1st fish took me around a small weed bed, had no problems with a low 30 and a big ball of weed. The line flys off the spool thin for its bs and sinks ok Braid Berkley Whiplash green diameter 0.12 use it for my spod /marker rod ( which is the same rod ) again had this for so long it’s lost it colour.

When I make up my helicopter leadcore leaders i make a long splice 2 inch’s long at the weight end I find the extra thickness helps grip the bead but not to tight. The other end has obviously a small loop as has the weight end. I ALWAYS make sure the bead can travel over the top loop of the leadcore easily. I can’t remember the last time i used anything under the bead to help grip it to the leader.....There’s a lake I fish often has gravel bars and some zebra muscle beds so leadcore is a must for me.

My mate got hold of a roll and done his pod looked really good ... but he could only find it if had a run

And a bucket or two

Come on then out with it what else have you taped ??

Narrr no chance .... but I do like the butts 😉

Almost happened to me in Oxfordshire played a really big fish for a long time got weed jammed in the top eye I’m in the water barefooted water up to my crutch the fish is there beaten just beyond the net a big Common... I dropped the rod and pulled the line and her over the cord..... Happy days but soo close to being one of the saddest.

I do like the long shape of the fish you catch .... but that dark one looks special mate 👍

I still got my old stealth brolly and use it as well but lost the bell cap. I managed to find one on eBay this year for £5 .....but them spokes no wonder I got no hair.

Awww my giddy aunt.... gutted for you

My bed chair gos on first legs out and extended fully then secured with installation tape ... but still tips now an then 😞

I should say this is not my barrow mine is a lot smaller I had a puncture ( 1st time ever ) and borrowed it off a father and son who jumped in the swim I left. They were grateful that I showed them where I caught my fish how many wraps and how much bait i put in.... I often wonder if they had any.

Yes we did mainly codling around 3lb good eating size. 5 lug with a whipped on crab stick ... but lug and razor were always the best. We used to go West Wales on the biggest tides of the year to get the razor’s at low tide.

On the Prawn theme wonder if you could use crab sticks.... when I went cod fishing we would use them if we ran of razor fish.

My first thought was some git has nicked his wheels ....that is light tho 👍

Agree wholeheartedly with Yonny.

Do you pay road tax for it .... oops it’s electric lol
