    If your looking for night vision start at Gen 2 models , forget Gen 1 and as for binoculars the Canon 10 x 30 IS II Binoculars are very good but pricey

    The question I suppose you need to know is .. would your husband want or use a bait boat. Wave runners are fine from what I have heard, a fish finder is nice but not that necessary.

    The name was http://www.carp-forums.com/index.php but no longer exists The wealth of knowledge on their regarding all aspects of bait , fish response ect was second to none. I think a few members came over here when it was pulled or died.

    Twilight with yellow lenses , really does make a difference , I found it when I was float fishing under some trees , one minute could hardly see the float glasses on and BOOM so easy to see the float ,

    They help in low light , quite well actually , not sure they would be much use in the dark though

    I fish my Syndicate lake for Pike every winter but I like using plugs , great fun but most are jacks around the 2 to 6 lb bracket ,doubles are few and far between and my biggest is 18:15 from their caught some years ago. Great fun on a Drop Shot rod , Low double .

    Without seeing the Shimano in the flesh so to speak , id almost say its a Tribal Velocity just rebadge and 4 times the price . Still if it is and IMO they are very good rods indeed.

    You tube shows you how , I did mine ,its a pain its a pain in the asp but not difficult ,just time consuming.

    Arnt the Red Kites now starting to impact on our Buzzard population 😪 , Counted 26 in Wallingford ,Oxford in a couple of mins ,just different coloured sea gulls 😁

    I use Fabsil , not used the Gold ,for no other reason than Gold is more expensive, next time ill clean the fabric first though

    Location is as they say"the key" , but just because you spot some fish doesnt mean they are their to stay , you have to try and understand , Have they just Got their ,Are they about to leave or are they the for the duration ., this I cant explain how you know its something you learn to understand through experience and time, and you dont get it right every time.

    Two lines I use and would always recommend are , Berkely Big Game 15 lbs and Whychwood DPM 18 lbs , bullet proof line IMO , either of these will reach around 100 yds with a 2 oz weight with a reasonable 3.25 TC rod

    Confidence for me is firstly choosing a swim I feel I will catch in , so if I dont find a swim I like then Ill go to a different venue , I have never been one to fit just because their a space available . I have every confidence in the rigs and bait I use ,and as I have said before I believe if im not catching its because the fish are either not their or their not feeding.

    It seems to have become so bad that a few clubs have a Total Ban on Drugs and Alcohol with instant dismissal , no ifs no buts out if caught.

    Look down the second hand route , and buy at least at 50% 0f retail on your budget , their are plenty of mint excellent bargains if you have time to wait .

    The Helicopter rig , pay no attention to the hook use what you use, I personally think this is the safest rig .
  20. dayvid
    But yourself a 4oz grip lead used for sea fishing , that will catch any lines that should be their , also doubles up as an excellent grapnel for clearing spots in the weed just lock it up with a cable tie.

    A mate I fish with has had his since the late 90s and they were second hand then ,havnt missed a beat for him , he fishes roughly every 3 weeks
  22. dayvid
    Tend to agree with that, I use size 16 and 18 Guru hooks whilst match fishing and the are the equivalent to a 14 and 16 original hook sizes
  23. dayvid
    4s for me maybe 6s on occasion.
