I just put it in a bucket of water and wind it on so as the spool of line spins in the water and not loops off as if it was flat 

A view from the bivvy door 4am saturday - quite a gathering 😍

If it helps I just looked at the clock and said is it only quarter past 9 I only had 3 beers but the puppies kept me up late settling in and then they woke up at 5am, 😬

Had a walk around my local pond, seen these beauties and no one fishing. 
 
Might grab the rods and listen to the football on the radio instead of pub 😆😂

Quite ironic really , its not a problem to fish for Pregnant fish, fat footballs ,rolled around on a mat then weighed and photographed for a PB , but as soon as they spawn its a no no , your spawn of Satin if you do whilst spawning.
Doesnt seem to apply to France,even the owners wont close and refund you , when you spend hundreds of pounds for a holiday , the times I have read , The fish were spawning the time we were their only caught a few . they never packed up and came home .
Spawning fish dont eat whilst they are doing it ,but are hungry afterwards .

you'll be alright can post what you like in here

the arms race is on i have one of these on order i figured so long as i only use it from my own peg all's fair. 
i give you soon to be marketed in the uk, the boat blaster 5000 I can see nothing in the rules of fisheries or more importantly the ethics and etiquette of carp angling that could prevent an angler from deploying such equipment when fishing a lake. 
 

got the new barrow went proper Scottish on it which can be a problem when you have a very old Warwickshire accent  of which i am very fond of, as it got it from my grandparents. had some cheeky git say a i sounded like a hobbit from lor, i'll take that i thought.
