Questions from a new angler
jules007 replied to Tubbytom's topic in New to Carp.com, New to Carp Fishing
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 -
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
-
Funny enough its the NGT im looking at, dirt cheap but seems worth the low asking price
-
we are able to wander round looking for the fish but rules say we have to fish from a designated peg
-
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

Bivvy Heating - staying warm
jules007 replied to Tubbytom's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
Simple, DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF FUEL HEATER, fil a hot water bottle for sleeping bag, also consider a rechargeable heated vest thing -

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 -
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

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

How to correctly set-up and use bobbins
jules007 replied to Joe Quinn's topic in New to Carp.com, New to Carp Fishing
worth getting some decent bobbins and then sticking with them -
Been refunded on the reels from Gerry`s
-
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
-
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
-
sorry for the sad news, never good at all and it is still a fact a heater in a bivvy is a killer
-
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
-
Totally get what you say, clutch is set as light as can be
-
the new cane rod and mitchell 410
-
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
-
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
-
The Gorilla gaffer tape mod worked a treat i used the 410 with the new cane rod and no tangles behind spool, so happy to continue using at least one of these reels
-
Very tempted but looks like it will cost another £20 or so, as i have a pair of old tatty reels that work i just as well wait it out for them to arrive, its not exactly prime fishing time with weather as it is so just gonna have to be patient
-
So the reels still not shipped Gerrys list them as "in stock" but after making enquiries seems they will ship out sometime in January so clearly not in stock, wont be using this shop again as we have a different idea of what in stock means
-
cant help thinking i might of got a duff roll of this, ended up giving it away and thats after getting a stripping tool, wont use it again, shame as ESP is good gear and i used to rate strip tease as best
