  1. I have also ordered same band expander but the plan is to use rolled white bread in the band on the hair
  2. I am a big believer in doing things different i will prep chick peas but soak them in marmite water to boost them i have caught on pickled onions, sweets and various meats, im a big big fan of Pepperami proper forgotten old bait, but never used prawns, need to give them a try, another half lost bait is a huge chunk of bread flake fished under a float, can be a simple killer trick
  3. rather tempted to sell all the main carp gear and just stick to fishing old school, seems when i want to fish main lake with the big guns its closed for one reason or other
  4. I do a similar thing but just using 2.5 kg bait bucket i put maybe 1kg of boilie in bottom and have some small plastic tubs with maybe a different boilie in one and pellets in another
  5. Knowing where they are coming from the quality will be excellent
  6. nice to hear of decent after sales
  7. Very good advice from the other posters, must say i cast out and tend to leave them for about 3-4 hours before recasting if its very quiet maybe i should recast every 30 mins if no fish showing, never to old to learn lol
  8. overall opinion seems to be i just dont need the 6ft so for once i will heed the good advice and give it a miss, the 9ft rods will do just fine
  9. Funny enough its the NGT im looking at, dirt cheap but seems worth the low asking price
  10. we are able to wander round looking for the fish but rules say we have to fish from a designated peg
  11. So keep thinking about getting a 2 piece 6ft 3lb stalking rod as i plan on being very mobile on the lake come the better weather, but my main rods are 9ft, i keep going to order the 6ft and then think do i need it, so do i just say sod it and order one
  12. Simple, DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF FUEL HEATER, fil a hot water bottle for sleeping bag, also consider a rechargeable heated vest thing
  13. I just got DAM quick darkside 4 6000 size mini pits and they are stunning if you could find the same but 8000 they would be good
  14. 2 new arrivals top is a nice Mitchell 324 and bottom a very old 304 these were gifted to me by a very generous member of another forum
  15. For me that lovely feeling of getting the car back on the road after it was stuck on the snow and ice for a week, set of to work and got a front blow out on a tyre
  16. worth getting some decent bobbins and then sticking with them
  17. Been refunded on the reels from Gerry`s
  18. I will ring them tomorrow and get to bottom of it if no decent answer i will just ask for refund this will be faster than paypal dispute
  19. A not so good update on the reels from Gerry`s still not shipped and now website has changed to "out of stock" and they are not replying to my emails so its time for a paypal dispute claim now i need to find a different pair of reels
  20. sorry for the sad news, never good at all and it is still a fact a heater in a bivvy is a killer
  21. there was no need for slack drag orfoam on an open bail, the bobbin on the bank stick was not in use as i was fishing with a stick float
  22. Totally get what you say, clutch is set as light as can be
  23. the new cane rod and mitchell 410
  24. If you are not likely to get a night ticket it may be worth looking at stalking the fish come the better weather, im planning to do this on my local water
  25. B B good shout but the tape is working just great and can barely see it, seems i have more mitchell reels heading my way
