How would people suggest tying a hair rig when you're fishing at a venue that only allows small hooks (size 10 biggest) and your line is too thick to pass through the eye of the hook?
What grease /oil would people recommend to use on reel gear washers+reel maintenance? I know "3in1" is a very good "light" oil or would a lubricating grease be better. What do others use?
What is the best way to store boilies. I was preparing some of these stickybait Shelflife to put on multiple rig style, fixing them to microswivels but some were splitting +crumbling. Should I be air dying thenm or something to firm them up a bit or leave them as they are, I don't want to spoil the bait?
Hi, I've been recommended the Shimano ST 10000 BR reels as a goto reel to start carp fishing, would anyone recommend these or an alternative. I was planning on going up to around the £100 mark per reel, any advice on reels would be welcome?
What type of fish would you say these are?Always catch these pretty little things on a wild pond up in the mendips ,float fishing to maggots and worms. The are a lovely gold to bronze colour and always this size
Yes, I work outside and here in the South West I can definitely see nature on the move. Birds calling to stake their territory and even saw bees today. In sure after the recent cold snap this weeks warm temperatures will move things along at a pace
Hi, as I'm a newcomer to carp fishing and going to have my first go this year, when do carp usually start waking up/feeding? Is it more linked to daylight hours or is it temperature?
I've been trying a bit of drop shotting for Perch in the local canal, it's quite snaggy +been losing a few leads+ rigs . Which shape leads do people think snag least? I've been using the standard column shaped drop shot weights, would round ones be better?
So are those kamasan trout hooks banned in a lot of places? the shrink tube sounds a better option if it avoids causing damage to fish.Thanks for the heads up
