I have been tinkering with shortening my rigs, since I watched that went from regulation 7" to about 4-5" 

I have also ditched lead clips recently and gone back to Inlines. 

I am not easily led though 🙄 I haven't gone full shot on the hook yet. 😂

WHEN I'm back, I'm going the usual running rig, but with 4/5 inch supple rigs all in a PVA bag...

Shot on The Hook....

Only heard it other week and sick of seeing it now....get the idea but WHY ??

[Getting kids into fishing]

Through the years from 2016/17

 

Our last session together was about 13/14months ago in the Tempest 200 on the local club water.

 

 

[Getting kids into fishing]

My lad started off when he was 5yrs old with an Octoplus Seat Box and a Float Rod, loved the fact of catching any and every fish with maggots every week up until about he was 7 when I started Carp fishing, and then he wanted the Camping side of staying out at night.

So the fishing was during the fay for us both then at night was myself ky and he had his tablet with him.

This continued until he was about 12yr and started dwindling away to his technology....now he's 14 and isn't that fussed to be honest.

Now its Football, Karate, MMA training and the odd phase on FIFA on his PS5....

I do ask him now n then if he wants to go, but he's not fussed...

So may have to introduce the Pooch back into it 😁😁

[Today's thought.]

Life just got even busier....

Myself working Monday to Saturday, same with Wife.

Grassroots Football season starts September, so that's Monday (6-8), Thursday (6-8) & Sunday (Games) for us.

Wife Trains Tuesdays (7-9) & Dances away (all day) Sundays.

+ on top of all that, my lad started MMA Training 2 weeks ago, due to some people/lads seeing him at Karate....so that's Karate (6.30-8) on Wednesdays & MMA Fridays (5.30-7)

So only a Saturday to do something IF we can 😲😲😲

[Today's thought.]

Aren’t they supposed to be really heavy even when empty ?
loaded they weigh the same as a car lol

Pretty light empty i thought....but My R10 was heavy, not struggling heavy, but wouldn't like to do a lap of lake on mi back/shoulder with it....but it had everything in.

Then there was only Bivvy, Bed, Chair, Matt, Cook bag....I'd have another in a heartbeat now, with so minimal gear.

Isn’t the r6 for the 6ft r9 for the 9 foot and so on 

 

I could be total lay wrong but it would make sense to be set up like that 

 

edit 

just checked 

yep r9 Is the one for the 9 footers

 

 

I'm thinking getting the R6 for all my 6ft Outfit for Carp/Coarse fishing, if anything like the R10, then I'll be happy 👍🎣
