  1. About as far as I have been is around 80yds , its a pain on retrieve if you dont wind in as soon as you hit the water , because the rear end dips under the water , but people I believe have stuck small pieces of buoyant foam in the rear as this solves the problem . I dont use it in the winter as I tend to fish for one fish at a time , but in the summer I love the way you can spread the bait around , hit the clip lower to the water for a tighter spread ,higher for a larger spread . I does take a while to get use to it and how best to use it , so its a bit of a learning curve to start with , but once you know what you are doing and what it is capable of IMO I think its brilliant. 120 yds I think is a big ask, and until I try it yonny is probably right .
  2. Watched the vid , another Spomb varient seems to work ok , will it last though ???? Personally I love the TFG Airbomb
  3. They work as well outside as inside , not sure how far though as that would depend on the lazer unit , I know mines ok to 40M , Not used it for fishing though as I very rarely use wraps .
  4. Have a look here , I have not been , and havnt herd a bad word about the venue. http://www.bountylemans.com/page39.html
  5. These are what I use now , and have used for cork in the past,
  6. Mine has to be my first Twenty back in the early 90s , weighed in at 23lbs 12ozs , wish I knew where he photos were of that Mirror , Its the only time I have ever rang anyone at 4 in the morning about a fish .
  7. I would have loved that , all on my own, middle of know where , butt ….did you catch.....
  8. I dont know if this counts , but I go after work Fri evening till Sun morning most weekends 😊, worked this Sat though ☹️
  9. Had this happen a couple of times over the years . Heres a couple from earlier this year. How many others have had similar.
  10. I personal dont think it matters , but given the choice I would use the textured one every time
  11. The only thing ever stopping me from fishing ,is if the lake is Frozen . With todays modern clothing and gear their is no such thing as cold here in the UK , well the southern half anyway
  12. Seems they must be popular as showing out of stock.
  13. I have noticed that as well, im guessing the weather /winter ect and people not having much to say.
  14. Have a look in Sports Direct. Karrimor , do a good range and they do last.
  15. I guess you pays your money and takes a chance , they are both very similar boots. If its for warmth these are by far the best http://www.skee-tex.co.uk/products/skee-tex-boot-14.aspx And they are not difficult to walk in as some would have you believe .
  16. LOL same here , several times 😎
  17. If you like the rod , dont let the butt ring put you off , it will be fine with all the reels you mention.

    Books

    Im very much like PandA698 when it comes to books , BUT the Syndicate series by Mark Cunnington is fantastic .
  19. Very rarely do I put 2 on the same spot and if I do it will be more of a runs water.
  20. On occasion I have fished 4
  21. I dont have one , but I also dont think I have heard a bad word about them , and at £159.99 seems good value. https://www.carp-zone.co.uk/carpzone-airwave-brolly-system.html

    Bailiffs

    I guess if you are doing nothing wrong then no Bailiff should be of any concern ,
  23. Started with the Fox Ultra back in the day very good , then to Nash Indulgence light years ahead of the fox , and now onto the Nash Airlite Wideboy sleep system SS3, fantastic piece of kit , very comfortable and versatile with how you use the quilts or not. I went for the wide as I dont zip the side of the bag up , so the quilt is just that little bit wider over the standard so you tend to get less draughts . On hindsight I should have bought the SS4 only because it has longer legs . I do think in this day and age though their are a few other makes equally as good , after all its only a frame with Para cord around it
  24. No issues as such the LEDs stay on permanently now , no big deal, occasionally the hopper may not open , but thats due to human error , water generally comes in if you dont look after the neoprene patches that allow the hoppers to open on the underside , but these should last for years , I replaced them when I bought the boat to be on the safe side , so no problems. I suppose you could get water in where the batteries go but they do make covers for them , I havnt got them on mine though.
  25. I have the MK 1 Microcat , excellent IMO , plenty of distance and fast.
