From 2014 , fro a member on here Google "hamworthy lake" in poole, dorset - its council ran, deep crytal clear sand pit with some lovely carp in it its a stunning pond, just has a few problems with pikeys, but ive personally never had any problems myself. Had some lovely commons out to 20lb+ but its fairly tricky, also still enforces the close season, but it is FREE TO FISH! woohoo!! Its off the haven holiday camp in poole, at least worth a walk around mate. Its one of my favourite waters.

Their are several guys on here that im sure would be more than willing to help .

Is that 5 people in total or others + 5 people

Best of both worlds , Pod hard ground ..... Sticks soft ground

I like their rods sea and fresh , i have the TLD reels for sea and they are great still as good as they were 15 + years ago , you buy a new TLD now and you will be lucky to get 3 years out of it , its their internal components that let them down now, hence why i wont look at new Shimmy reels .

Cut me in half and youll read Daiwa, i dont trust Shimano since they have started what i consider using inferior parts .

Cheers , i thought so

Im pretty sure im right but wanted you to confirm this When buying a reel such as a Daiwa Crosscast 5500 , or 5000 the only difference is the 5500 takes more line on the spool than the 5000 ,the reels are the same size though

My Nash indulgence 8 leg , this does not seem to sink far at all ,and is Extremely, Extremely comfortable when you lay on it , downside it weighs around 13 kilos.

https://tritontackle.co.uk/product/triton-tackle-2-man-bivvy/ Seems very good value for money , its not strictly 10,000 HH , as each skin is 5000 HH , no peak , worth a punt though .

Just bought a second hand Trakker RLX Nano chair , and what an excellent piece of kit this will be , it is extremely light and seems well made , but what i really like is its versatility , The Trakker Video sums it up really , i have tried it just on a level floor ,its ok, bit low and too acute an angle , but i didnt buy it for on the level. http://trakkerproducts.co.uk/trakker-products/rlx-nano-chair/

I always use a dab of superglue , it also acts as a line aligner to a degree.

You wont go far wrong with a pair of ... Fox Micron M+ Bite Alarms at around £50 for a pair

That bag does seem good value

What great price , i have both of the above only difference is mine is the Plus wide sleeping bag, i fish all year and have never been cold not even when the lake froze over.

The bearings in the TLD range of multipliers has dropped considerably since they first came out , talk to any charter skipper that uses them for rod/ reel hire , its probably a marketing strategy , make a reel last a couple of years or so then buy new again , then repeat

Second that , around £50 each , great rods ,handle well and look good

Spin Doctor is the only one i know off .

I don't mind paying for quality, so I'll stick with Whiplash, tried and tested , also use it on my boat reels for Conger , Tope and suchlike

At worst ill move left or right rod over to one side , but thats no big deal as it doesnt disturb the baits already cast out. Im sure you are just looking for an argument now with those comments above , what you think you may have seen as to what probable happened are two different things

Never Ever Ever Ever had a problem using a pod , no different to sticks , Never moves and has never been pulled over even locked up . I know of know one who has had problems with their pod .

I have the adobe 2 man , only used it once just to try it out , seems a good bivvy plenty of space ,came with extra skin , easy to put up , The material is probable 5000 HH the better bivvy material will be 10000 HH

From the picture it would seem the buzz bars are extendable , it will be alright to use.

Had the same with Nash Bugs the small ones , the would sink once the had absorbed water in about 10 mins

I have the Tracker Big Snooze Wide , i use it summer and winter , fleece lined which is nice
