    Well, I'm spoiled for choice. I'll spend some time on YouTube and Ebay to see what suits best for me.
    Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Expensive overnighter, fell and snapped my spod rod in half whilst prebaiting at the end of the session.
    Just ordered the same rod as I like it a lot:  Tackle Box CF-X Black edition Spod 12ft 4.5lb 50mm.

    Tonights Spomb mix for the carp, silt from the margins, complete with bloodworm and snails, Rod Hutchinson KMG and Infusion  boilies whole and crushed, Vitalin, and kidney beans, along with some chilli flakes to try to deter the swans.
    I did top up with some more Vitalin before Spombing it in to soak up the extra liquid.

    I realised this week that I Solar  do goalpost buzzer bar converters. It means I don't always have to use the pod now and can go goalpost and 2 and 1 rather than 3 singles.
     
    No local tackle shop had them so Tackle Box Dartford got a bit of an online order.
    Very fast service.

    I used Lifesystems 50% Deet for years, but boy does it give me a headache, and it eats plastic.
     
    It is the only stuff that works when mosquitoes are the size of a sparrow though...

    Avon changed the makeup of Skin So Soft, so if it does work for you, look for the original.
     
    If Skin So Soft isn't the right stuff for you, and some places I know it isn't, then Lifesystems 50 or 25 is good, just be careful with it.
     
    There is an alternative, Pyrethrin treated clothing. Might be worth a look, although I'm sure British MTP combats are already treated. Other clothing can be sprayed.
     
     
    My choice, with the repellant is one of these:

    You need the original dry oil 
    there is so many different skin so soft products but that is the correct one.

    i think as long as you make sure you slap what ever product you use on  all uncovered parts of the skin it should be ok and be effective 
    any bits not covered the little buzzards will find it

    I was a Lifesystems 50 user for years, although it could give me a poxy headache, as well as removing plastics and logos off clothing.
     
    I've switched over to ORIGINAL Avon Skin So Soft, and not had any problems with the buzzy things.

    I had to set up 2 swims down to the right under the trees on Wednesday, no shade where I had been prebaiting with Vitalin and KMG, and I was not going to let Sky overheat. Still in the same area, just the opposite end of the rushes, and out of the swan's fighting area...

    Earith or somewhere else?
    I had to up the bait size on Virginia when rudd were about, and avoid using particles and pellets.
    I don't mind catching 2lb rudd when I'm fishing for them, but they could be a pain over the particle.
    I had to go to 2x 15mm boilies on the hair, and resort to stringers.

    Bag of each, hemp, Vitalin, GLM pellets when I bought Sky a sack of Armitages working Dog complete. Her food is VAT free, well the dog food, she does get my meat and vegetable trimmings (except onions and garlic) added to her food.
     
    Got plenty of hemp and a kilo of Birdfood prepared in a bucket ready to be used tomorrow, sack of Vitalin is still in the car

    I wonder how many places people think they are spawning when they are not. 
    These North Quarter winds and temperatures not reaching 18⁰C are holding the fish back in my syndicate, and it is 1st June. They are full, and looking spawny, but nowhere near the known spawning areas, although a few males are hanging around the edges. I don't think that they will feed properly either until spawned.
