    Live bait like a small roach or similar sorts the big ones, and they can suck in a surprisingly large live bait, but it goes against the grain for me, i work on catch and release not catch and impale on even bigger hook, some might think it wrong to put a lob on hook (wife does) but i dont have a problem drowning worms

    it fell to a good old fashioned lobworm fished on stick float set up at the time i had (and foolishly sold) a TFG Matt Hayes X1 river and stream 1lb avon rod and the big perch put a right bend in that classic rod

    Yes Perch are a lovely fish, always thought if they grew to 25lb no one would fish for carp lol, im lucky enough to of caught a 4 1/4 lb perch, hell of a fish

    Its hard to think, and makes me feel rather old that i used to fish this little river maybe 46 years ago but more to the point i used to err "poach" in the old stew pond this river flows through to catch eel, roach rudd and more important proper old wild carp and of course lots of Perch, those were happy days indeed

    I used to use ESP Crystal but just cant get it now, shame, i tried a couple of lines and ended up using budget NGT camo line having done a few pull to break tests using digital latching scales it does seem to hold up to stated BS and is thinner in diameter than a lot of lines, can get bulk spools for about £9 posted, im now happy with this product

    Here is my latest purchase i scored this haul of 9 in number vintage strikeright centrepin reels all in original box`s some have paperwork in box 7 of them look as new the other 2 are in nice used condition, i cant say what i payed for this job lot but it was a very keen price indeed but i wont be keeping them as i do see a rather nice profit from them that will help offset some of the money i have spent this last few months

    Perch

    jules007 posted a topic in Coarse fishing

    So the Carp at the lake im fishing are just not playing ball, oxygen levels are low in all 3 lakes, so for a while im gonna dabble on the canal, we are lucky to have a private peg only accessible from the main lake complex so its on opposite side to towpath, seems Perch can go to over 3lb, also carp in canal so gonna put a hair rig boilie out for Carp and then float fish for Perch

    the gopro or action camera can send live video using a transmitter called a VTX from RC FPV so live view real time to a small colour monitor. Im tempted to get one of the super cheap bait boats and fit a clear panel in the hull to mount live view action cam to

    NGT centrepin reel arrived today paid £29 new and have to say it is sweet, spins for ages and silky smooth, loaded it up with 10lb Sensor clear mono will be used for carp in small pond and on canal
  15. jules007
    You could do a set of 3 for about £100 but you would be buying each reel separate on ebay also you need to make sure bail arm is healthy and working as it should, but they are easy to service and spares are still about, of course it was the 300 that Richard Walker caught the 44lb record carp

    Any one on here use old school gear, i had a rummage in the loft and got my old Mitchell 410A reels down, i was expecting them to have suffered being stored for so long, but to my surprise they work sweet and smooth and the overall condition is way better then i hoped, these reels along with the older 300 reels were the start of carp fishing reels, and this pair are lovely to say they are close to 50 years old

    try this

    has the tideflow got a little flat bit of metal that might push in to release the spool, see pic

    The pins are multiplying, the new NGT is now on its way so i will have a new modern reel, the nice little Belaco is now spinning very smoothly and loaded up with 100m of 4lb line, i also dropped on a nice deal for a 4" strike right at sensible money this morning on ebay this looks to be in near superb condition, Strike rights if shown a little love and care seem to be very reliable, sturdy reels, cant rule out that the collection may still grow
  20. jules007
    Good info, will re lube it with a drop of oil, i may end up getting another vintage pin at some point, will need to be near mint condition and a good make but not a super expensive one
  21. jules007
    I edited it for you, interesting video the small rodent can be retrieved in a very enticing manner on the surface
  22. jules007
    now im back to fishing the canal by the lake on my book holds some nice chub, i may have to try for a couple in new year as never caught a chub
  23. jules007
    Here is one of my old pins, a 3 1/4 inch Belaco, it was a bit stiff but a quick strip and clean, some light grease and its much better, now a usable reel, might load it up with some 4lb strain mono to use for roach/chub
  24. jules007
    For many years i was completely against bait boats but yes they do have there uses and place, i dont see me getting one as i can still cast pretty accurate and cant afford one with sonar/gps, though i have looked at the really cheap basic boat for under £100 that actually gets pretty good reviews.....still not getting one though and thats coming from an RC guru (drones,fixed wing planes and rc cars/crawlers)

    Another big haul for me, a pair of Wychwood Riot 9ft 2.75 rods (great price) so my new 12ft Diawa rods are to be sold also from another shop i got the last kg of Crave shelflife, a second tub of Crave wafters, some Fox hooks just to try, a jar of Tiger nuts and a stalkers unhooking mat
