  1. I personal dont think it matters , but given the choice I would use the textured one every time
  2. 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
  3. Seems they must be popular as showing out of stock.
  4. I have noticed that as well, im guessing the weather /winter ect and people not having much to say.
  5. Have a look in Sports Direct. Karrimor , do a good range and they do last.
  6. 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 .
  7. Theirs always Broadlands , plenty of water @20 plus acres . http://broadlands-lake.co.uk/
  8. 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 .
  10. Very rarely do I put 2 on the same spot and if I do it will be more of a runs water.
  11. On occasion I have fished 4
  12. 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 ,
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. I have the MK 1 Microcat , excellent IMO , plenty of distance and fast.
  17. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/gardner-attx-version-2-transmitting-system
  18. Fox are notorious for not answering emails if theirs no value in it for them , Ring and ring and ring is by far your best route.
  19. I have the Air Lite SS3 wide , and also have a Indulgence normal size bedchair. I would imagine the Air lite to be lighter without the quilts than the Indulgence even though my SS3 is wider.

    Silly Rules

    I believe a lot of fisheries use Virkon S , as a disinfectant.

    Silly Rules

    Silly rules are dependant on the angler ,some more experienced angler may find some rules silly where as a relative novice may see them as helpful.
  22. No ,not even a liner , the lakes been difficult all summer.
  23. Fished Friday night and Saturday night , and from start to finish I have not needed a hoodie on , just a T-Shirt , 20 degs+ down here as well.
  24. My new Fox RX plus alarms , great alarms so far just one niggle and of course I can live with it . Change the colour of the LED to Orange and then turn the nite light on and its Red , but lights orange on a run, go figure that , Fox probably didnt realise till to late ,but thought Hay Ho those suckers will still buy them and its to late now to rectify . Tried emailing Fox and I was not surprised I had no reply . This fault is on all Fox RX plus I have seen
