Very nice, lovely old school kit
-
Here is a teaser for the new split cane rod that is being built for me, hoping to have it by xmas, this is the near finished handle
-
Looking for that affordable solid pod
jules007 replied to The woodcutter's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I tried a pod a good few years ago and just did not get on with it so now use Solar bank sticks with 2 rod cross bars, plain and simple it works for me -
lovely fish i never have tired of catching Perch and pleased to say my local fishery has just stocked an additional 150 Perch, they should grow quick on all the fry and small silver fish to go at
-
So having returned to carp fishing and finding my old rods were not up to job, i got Diawa 12ft rods but soon found them a bit long for the water i am fishing a lot of pegs have plenty of tree`s over hanging, so bought Wychwood 9ft 2.75 rods and sold the as new Diawa rods for what i paid
-
Is this fish from the RH stables ha ha ha
-
In a few weeks time i should have a rod shot with a difference, i commissioned a gentleman to build me a split can 1lb 2oz avon rod
-
This forced weight gain is just wrong, just a money making venture to put monster carp into lakes to pull the paying angler into trying for them, its not for me, i would take 30lb proper fish any day
-
the usual advice on bait is to choose a half decent one and stick with it, get the fish in your place you fish to start accepting it

Deano, welcome mate, good to have you on here
-
Yes i do have some collectable tackle Mitchell reels and a lot of centre pins even some of my floats from course fishing are old vintage. Also i agree about the lakes going quiet so my next trip out is on canal as we have some private pegs and target fish are perch,carp and Gudgeon
-
welcome back, im same as you having recently returned after something like 14 year break
-
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
-
and another good perch video
-
cant beat a big stripey
-
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
-
Welcome aboard and great avatar JW was a true legend
-
Glad you posted these, i was going to put some on, cant beat a good Terry tale about his amazing captures and campaigns
-
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
-
Ha ha your getting these as well, i quite like them
-
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
