Never liked Capsules/ inner dome ,  i have a Rod Hutchinson dome somewhere with that trip hazard yo mention  , personally id sell the inner dome and buy the over wrap .

When you get on the bank it will all make sense mate 👍
ive gone through stages of not feeling it but the bug always comes back. Recently I’ve been hunting bass on the beaches, it suits my current lifestyle as I can get out for a few hours rather than doing an overnighter. A change is as good as a rest sometimes. It’s not been going to badly… 

So I am actually going to venture out tomorrow for the first time since they stopped us going at the beginning of the last lockdown 
Not actually feeling it yet either hopefully it changes when I get there…

How true is this, definitely is my case but she doesn't really mind, she's a gooden my Mrs.😉😉

Putting carbon on the back burner and fishing with vintage gear... best thing by far in all my fishing... I packed up match fishing and started fishing for myself once I stopped using carbon... now pretty much all my fishing is done with old gear... I doesn't catch me more... but I'm happier on my days out now the pressure is off 

Some years ago now ,but a Prestige power porter, never have to think about weight and can travel to the furthest swims with ease.

Well I managed a quick overnighter at an estate lake. My van wasn't fixed in time😭
Water quality was really bad, they canceled the swimming of a triathlon there.
 
My mate had a pasty and I had a bin lid. Gutted to miss the opportunity of 3 nights at the Res. 

Your line is to light 

Well i got my tackle box today, it seems I usually don't take enough tackle to fill one I think I may now be in danger of buying more bits just to fill it,😂
It is pretty smart though I do like it, I don't think I had the energy for a full change over,I've done some of it already but it's quite stressful getting a new tackle box don't want to rush it  😂
 

This may well have been posted before , but for those that havnt seen this and are looking to buy new line , you may find this useful .

Well didn't manage to catch .... but it wasn't for the want of trying.  Absolutely loved getting out again.  Was trying to tempt some big fish from a snag , one was defo a 40 + mirror,  finally managed to get two takes on the 3rd morning only to drop them both to hook pulls . Hopefully getting out again in September 😎
