Welcome to Carp.com. Have fun finding your way around.

That's just it, they haven't all been put together by the uneducated, some maybe, but some magazine articles do give unsafe set-ups, which people will copy. They have been educated, learnt from the article. Now to me a lead clip is physics, for every action there is an opposite reaction. Look at the or any lead clip; the lead can only come free on a pull away from the rod tip, hopefully a take. The tail rubber can only slide back and off on a pull away from the angler. If there is something stopping the tail rubber from coming off, a length of tubing, a bit of detritus, it will not release the lead. Now you start to reel in, the lead is sliding down the lead clip, where it will lodge against the curve and won't come off. The tail rubber, in any weed, or against a snag, is also being pushed further onto the lead clip. So what may be a loosely pushed on tail rubber is now a tightly pushed on tail rubber, and won't release the lead.

Leadcore is not banned, the only bans on the syndicate are plastic or fake baits. To be honest lead clips only lose the lead on a pull away from the rod tip, not towards, and that is only if a) the lead catches, b) the tail rubber is not stuck or jammed, which weed can do for you. The heli-safe is on the setup with the 2.5oz Fox lead, the other is the lead clip and a 3.5 or 4oz lead, which according to theory, should be able to come off a lead clip, but obviously hasn't.

I'd quite happily ban lead clips as well. 'The tail rubber is pushed on too far', bowlicks! Lead clips WERE NOT designed to eject leads when fishing, they were designed so you were not carrying a rod in transit with a lead attached. They were designed to solve that problem, which had already been solved years previously by using a link clip on a John Roberts or Drennan bead. No matter how far you push a tail rubber on, unless the lead catches the weed or snag it is not going to come off. @elmoputney the first pic, is a Hybrid lead clip to leadcore with tubing over it. The second is that Korda heli-safe direct to leadcore. @framey rigs like that are still being tied, no-one in our syndicate is inexperienced, lacking knowledge or skills. You have to be recommended, sponsored and referenced to get a place. In other words it is not a water just anyone can fish. The other thing is, you do know Keith Moors now advocates going leader free, and banned them on his lake in France, after he retrieved a fish snagged up with leadcore towing a ball of weed that had its jaw broken. I can splice leadcore, and other braids, I can needle knot, no matter what happens in most cases, the fish is towing the leadcore. It only takes 6inches to catch up and snag. I actually had a pike strike my line a couple of weeks ago, just below the rod tip, so lost the lot; 20 metres of line, running lead, rig etc in the weed. I was able to get my marker rod and with a lot of luck retrieve the rig and line. That is all I retrieved, no lead, no run ring, so I am convinced that a running lead will come off the end of a broken line. Yet quite definitely, with what could well be a pike strike in these instances, from the amount of line attached, both leads on the various heli-safe and lead clip are still attached. The top rig was fairly recent, that hook was very sharp.

Rollin baits used to make Nutrabaits baits before Bill Cottam sold Nutrabaits. They have a pretty good reputation, as does MCF. I had a look at the websites of Innovate, Poacher and Blakes, and they look professional. You don't, no matter what Go Daddy or IONOS says, come up with a decent website like that without spending money. I've said it in the past, and unfortunately it has bitten you (and me) in the backside, get a bait firm that will be there long term, no cutting corners or mixes, that will be there in 5 years. Of the companies that you have given, I would be looking at Rollin, Blakes, because they are their own company, with the backing of an animal feed supply, or Poachers baits as I know the name and have been around a good few years.

I don't know how many times I have ranted over leaders and leadcore, it is seriously too many to count. What gets me is the advice of 'with all the advice available' to set up leadcore and leaders safely, yet no mention is made of removing the stuff from sale. It is not just newcomers to fishing that don't know how to use the stuff, or even where to use it. Look at these 2 pictures, you can't tell me that they were set up by new anglers, not with where I retrieved them from. Both were retrieved from a weedy lake, snagged up, thankfully with nothing attached, except me where one hook went into my chest waders, and came in after effort, with a bed of weed the size of a small car, original (real Mini). How the hell is a fish going to get away from that lot? Do we really need to continue to be using leadcore, or other leaders?

Welcome to Carp.com. I know Fenn Wright had details on file : "Clifton Lakes is a former commercial fishing complex extending 42.4 acres (17.1 Ha) with a total of 8 coarse fishing pools. The site borders the River Avon and has direct access onto the A5. Location The site is located directly off the A5, with excellent road links to the M1 (J.18 - 4 miles) and the M6 (J.01 - 3 miles). Situated on the outskirts of the town of Rugby (3 miles) Clifton Lakes is approx. 1 mile from the village of Clifton Upon Dunsmore. Clifton Lakes Fishery The fishery was originally created in the 1980s in a joint project between the site owner and Seven Trent Water as part of wider dredging works to the River Avon. The fishery was then run as a commercial coarse fishery on a day ticket basis. The site has been fished by a small syndicate in recent years. The fishery comprises a total of 8 pools, ranging in size from 0.6 acres to 7.8 acres. The specimen lake is the largest water body on the complex with two islands and a number of bays. The fishery is bordered by the River Avon for approx. 0.5 miles. The site has good internal access roads, with vehicular access to most of the pools. There are designated car parks and ample parking across the fishery. Located in the centre of the property is a static caravan and portacabin, which could be replaced. Improvements The site has not been actively managed for a number of years and marginal vegetation has encroached into a number of pools. Works which are likely to be required as a minimum include; the removal or management of aquatic weed and marginal vegetation, tree management, otter fencing and swim improvements. Some of the pools may also require restocking. Services No mains services are connected. Lease Terms The site is to be let on a minimum term of 10 years (longer term lease will be considered), on full repairing and insuring terms. Permitted use:- The tenant will have flexibility to manage the fishery on a day ticket or other basis, including ancillary or associated uses. Demise:- The demised premises contained within the lease extends to approximately 42.4 acres as edged red on the attached plan.

Time to bring back an old thread for the first pike trip of the season. Started the day with a 12lb pike on a whole ledgered herring. As it wriggled while I unhooked it, the barbless treble caught my middle finger, so snipped the trace to unhook the pike and my finger.

He's ended his sponsorship with Sticky as well

It would be my Shakespeare Specialist rod. I use it for fishing for roach, bream, chub, tench, carp etc. It slings out feeders, light ledger weights, surface fishing dog biscuits, float fishing, pretty much everything, and does it well. I've landed 20lb carp, 2lb roach and 5lb chub on it. Lovely rod! Reel wise, stuck between my Marco Cortesi Centrepin or a Shimano 4000 fighting drag.

As the title of the thread, Martin Bowler is leaving Drennan. Always a credit to fishing, I wish more anglers could be like him. https://fb.watch/gzKlQz-xUk/

I'm hoping ours will start to fill up! I was catching fish from the tree on the island dead centre of the pic early in the year.

I have an Ultimate sleeping bag cover, for keeping the sleeping bag dry. My extra or spare clothing is always kept in the rucksack until needed. I've just been boiling up some particles for a session from tomorrow. The last of the birdfood sack I bought earlier in the year. Looks like the Nitehawk combat boots are getting an airing.

I've used various shaped hookbaits, and some like discs, 'halves' or cubes are definitely harder to eject than round baits from what I have seen.

I've missed this, had my own problems to deal with and health problems are not going to make any difference to this thread, somethings are good to be 'spoken' about. I managed to get an appointment on the day after a telephone consultation with my doctor. I woke up with the most intense fiery pain in my right arm from shoulder to wrist. I had thought for a couple of days I had a pulled muscle in my arm. Along with the pain and lack of mobility in my right leg, it got too much. After doctors appointment and first hospital visit, I have a severely damaged or trapped nerve in my back and back damage. So much so that the hospital consultant called me back with the next appointment a week later. I've had the joy of having to decide whether I can work or not and claiming ESA and PIP. Carp will show and feed in as little as 18inches of water. You should see the videos... It can definitely be a place to fish. One of the big commons on our lake will feed with its dorsal and back out of the water, the Parrot almost lives in the margins. I'm really not sure how to overcome this problem. I made some Catfish sized pop-ups for lifting deadbaits for pike fishing last week, using BAF pop-up mix, no problems with the big 50mm baits, and they dried a treat, so I think your mix is the problem. I might have an answer, just came in to my head as I was writing this; how coarse are the ingredients? Are they a mix of grades? Different 'meshes', (I think the correct term), will dry at different rates. It may be worth putting them through a sieve to take out larger lumps, and grinding the whole lot down to a finer powder.

Can you pop into a hardware store and see if they have any 'grub screws'? Take the old ones with you they may have a match.

Real porridge is my breakfast! Not that I don't like the 'convenience' of pots, but I need 2 or 3 to fill me up; at £1.20 a pot compared to £1.50 for a kilo of porridge oats... While I totally agree that many waters are 'time' waters where fish may have specific bite times, and definitely some do, if you fish a water a fair way away you may need to make the journey worthwhile. Me personally, I can't justify a 50mile drive for 1 days fishing, so I tend to make it at least a night, or even two to get the most fishing time possible. The hardest part of autumn and winter fishing if you do do nights is the length of darkness, at the moment from 6pm until 8am. I have 2 headlights, and a small Rolson bivvy light, and spare batteries. So my 'evenings' are sat reading, watching and listening to the water, rig making or watching or playing on the tablet. I mentioned boots earlier in the thread, it may be worth looking at Jack Pyke Tundra boots, I have seen some bargain prices around.

I have spliced 25lb Kryston Merlin and Silkworm in the past, more actually to take away the knot on the eye of the hook, although I did try Multi-rigs with it. I actually stopped bothering in the end and just used it doubled up straight to the swivel. I'm on the last of VMC hooks I've been using for my very short version of the Multi-rig. The silicone tubing on the hookshank stops the bait moving on the cast, although the whole lot has been bagged. When playing fish the loop just pulls down to the eye. With a cut down pop-up hookholds have been dead centre even with that size 4. It is perfectly balanced, although my only concern (possibly overthinking) is that a carp has to take it in facing me, towards the rod tip. (Pics in PVA Bags or October Catch report)

I know this is an old thread, but it has some interesting comments from many people on it. I've quoted a section of a post by @sir axeman about 'no spodding', and @elmoputney has a lovely reply, one of which I have used, as Brackens had a No Spodding rule, bait could only be put in via PVA. However instead of just casting out with 1 PVA bag, I put a bed of bait out with them. I used to make up a load of PVA bags, (with a lead inside) and attach each one, lead and bag to a Breakaway Spinlink clip. The key to making many rigs effective is location and baiting/feeding.

Around a metre, or 3feet, of leadcore. I've had more fish with totally slack mainline and running leads on mono or fluorocarbon than with anything tight, and at short ranges on this lake. Only one fish came from anything like distance, at about 100metres, when the weed hadn't come up in April time, and I was using 30lb Amnesia with a 3.5oz lead and a homemade helicopter setup, 2 beads at either length of a short section of tubing with the rig swivel in between. Everything else fish wise for myself and others is at short range, less than 40metres, even when the weed hasn't grown up.

You may also be able to get spares from Gardner

Sounds like him.

Can't remember. Think it's C, but not sure. He's an ex police officer
