    I know what you mean …but Im on the 40mm side of the fence lol… got a set of 3lb with 40mm also……looking over my shoulder and it’s all clear… got a set of 3.50lb with the big 50mm ring which after a couple of years I still don’t see the reason for the size.

    For smaller waters I use a cut down match rod that I snapped a foot off the end 😞 great rod for carp low doubles even use a spinner rod, On the over end of the scale Iv used a big Nash controller had to be over 3oz could have been 4 oz ? with a 3lb carp rod on linnar man that float could fly 😳 …sadly I remember my mate playing a good fish on Oxlease in the bay at the back of the island using a floater rod it was bent double folded right over just couldn’t do anything with it and snapped him… he actually threw the rod into into the air landing it in a blackberry bush.. I got ripped to pieces trying to get it out 🙄…happy days 😄

    Bits and bobs from Bank Tackle just under £14 thought I’d give them a go as you all go on about them…the quality looks good and at a fair price 👍 The Fox bobbin weights were £5 delivered..

  10. I would turn your thought on its head…and be thinking all I need is Carp with a mild drinking habit and a fetish for plastic. 🤔 Best of luck 🤞

    A sad day Iv had to retire my Nash rucksack 😔…. But it’s turned into a happy day as Iv replaced it with a Drennan Specialist 40ltr. I tried my flask in the side pocket in the tackle shop and it just fits so passed the test 👍 I like how the waterproof base material extends up the sides of the pockets, which most tackle companies don’t have. £60
  12. I can get most of my terminal bits and bobs in there but for the rest I got the Korda bag with the pop in tray, tackle box fits snugly on top I got a small bag I put my electrical gear in, camera, head, torch, power bank and a iPad sometimes. This bag cost me well under a £10er from lidl, or was it Aldi 🤔 @framey if you put both tackle box’s side by side theirs not much difference in them as you said the Korda feels nicer to the touch.

    GOLD

    Theirs gold in them there hills…looks lovely, how bad where the Mozzies ?
  17. So what you’re saying then … is you want me to jump off me ladder tomorrow 🙄
  18. it was interesting… And if I ever fall off me ladder and hit my head and went over to the dark side and then I got me a bait boat, I would be boating a lead to the island margins on a marker rod feeling for the fable Donk and making sure there’s no snags. 🤔 I always drag a lead in the near margin before I fish it just to check for obstructions.
  19. Here’s a interesting vid for the boaters and the casters can’t help to learn from it
