White Acres , not sure how far from Newquay it is though .
-
Their is no difference from run or drop back and the latching time should remain the same whether single bleep or run.
-
It all has its place , its just how you use it , What the deeper is good especially good for is dispelling laid down in stone ,facts about the lake bed like , Old river beds , Sunken holes , gullies you get the picture , only to find none of it exists . I dont have the heart to tell someone what its really like down their.
-
Not really, it gives you an idea from the echo return, I havnt used it enough yet , but once you know what you are looking be it depth/drop offs ect then use the marker .
-
Have no idea about the washers inside , but mine are as smooth as when I bought them , getting on for just over 2 years now , and I fish most weekends. The QD does take abut 5 minutes to get use too, 😁 wouldnt be without it now Bit biased I know as I have always like Daiwa reels
-
Im all for anything that will help , Deeper for instance , save hours of needless maker float work.
-
It may as well be😀 , I was the only one their this weekend .
-
Dont know about the Penns but would assume they are a good reel , I have Daiwa Windcasts excellent reels , and would seriously consider the 19 Emblem 45s.
-
Well indoors now , just missed the rain packing up , Two on Particle , Maple Maize and Fake Corn on top . 3 on Pop ups , Heres my typical pop up rig , Helicopter with Leadcore . Shimano Tribal 3;25 ,Daiwa Windcast with 18lbs Wychwood DPM Mainline Popups .

The Ridge monkey sandwich toaster , what a fantastic piece of kit , cook anything in them and to think they were around in the 1940s ,not by ridge monkey though 😁 and I only discovered it a few years ago / Generally though I have a fry up in the evenings , Beans ,Bacon, Eggs ,Sausages/Burgers all in a large frying pan ,which I also use as the plate
-
Defiantly Side cutters , but dont buy cheap , buy decent ones as these will cut first time and with ease.
-
Barbless should be on all Club Tickets , to cater for all angling abilities. Personally Micro Barbed, but no problem using Barbless and do on situations where the outcome could mean I lose the fish,
-
You may wish later to have matching reels ,if your not doing nights then a chair would be good, net and matt too I personal think second hand is a good way to get quality without the big price tag new. I only buy Mint AAA at 50 -60 % of new , save a fortune over the years ,you may have to wait but its out their.
-
I forgot my Power pack yesterday , but had it delivered to the lake a couple of hours later
-
I think the bottom line is , if you like to fish whit tiny rods 😁 and you feel better for it then so be it ,it suits your fishing so good luck to you .
-
Scent from Hell no idea who makes it , hell that stinks, so much so the smell almost sticks to your nose ,id sooner go home than have to use it .
-
I have been reading this thread and over the last couple of days ,and racking my brain as to why I would use rods shorter than 12 foot , and can honestly say I never would and have never had the need , yes I have fished tight swims as with most us ,but cannot think for the life of me that I thought my rods may have been to long . I personally think their has been some great marketing out their to make the short rods the must have thing.
-
""A correctly tied helicopter rig is the safest rig there is"" I do believe this too , as this is the rig I use in all situations on the bottom.Unless some can show me otherwise.
