Hi mate, It's not battery so has to stay plugged in, I've got the Atom battery pack with 3 pin plug socket, hopefully it won't drain it too much - will let you know how it goes. 👍
-
Should be adjustable low - high for brightness, mine had a wheel on the side. Got the newer versions now USB charged jobbies. The older ones were 4 x AA Batteries i.e the version before yours. 👍

Just ordered this for Jack, hopefully keep him comfortable at night when it's freezing cold in the bivvy.
-
NO - but tuff titty, he's coming anyway 🤣 He does love getting home tbh

No Elmo, no party ❤️ -
I know the Nick Buss X Lites are very well thought of, I looked at those when getting the Chris Orme Torrix. Bring you luck - I'll try my best mate 👌
-
The Aviator Plus 12.6 have accepted the challenge 😂
-
Jack was soon back in the bivvy Sunday morning, heavy frost and ice in the edge, who can blame him.
-
Just sent my Torrix TE's to be re-built by the Tackle Box, not decided which handles to go with yet but think they'll come back looking stunning when finished ❤️

Never any pressure, just go to enjoy, if you catch you catch, if not so what - you've had a nice time with good people and learnt something. If blanking mattered I'd never choose the venues I do. Catching is for noddies 😂 -
Another night, oposite end - seen a dorsal waving around close in my water, then it lazily shuffled out 3 times. Whilst packing up it came past again to say goodbye or haha you blanked you nod. Freezing cold overnight. Good frost and ice in the edge.

I know a guy who has encountered many otters in his work, he warned me to keep my spaniel away from a big dog otter, said it would rip him to pieces, they are about 4ft long tbf. A friend of a friend walked his staffy along the Grand Union Canal local to me, an otter followed them, got out and chased them off. Sky's a big dog thankfully 👍

Really need a fence with overhang and 2 electric wires near the bottom. But as has been said even with everything in place the fence still needs checking daily for damage/fallen branches, electric still working. Then some clown leaves the gate open 🤷♂️
-
Who's bringing an old rod then, we're not snapping mine 😂
-
Nice one 👍 I'd hook my finger and go in no doubt 😂
-
Yeah I dont think you actually see it in that, but I have seen a video where Frank demonstrates it on a lake.
-
It was in Franks Korda Podcast, think he only did one.
-
This takes me back, used to love my pin and 14ft float rod ❤️
-
He showed the interviewer from Korda Podcast (Simon) how to do this and he snapped Franks rod lol
-
Take your time, once you find a complex that feels nice what's the rush, I kind of don't want to catch my targets coz the fishing is peaceful and might not find that again
-
Short casting is difficult for sure, hitting the clip just right isn't easy and can be frustrating. You tried underarming, sometimes a winner?
-
Start or you'll never find those spots 🤣
-
Little tip that always works for me: After a load of casting about trying to find spots - STOP, have a break - food and drink, a smoke, then start again. I can almost guarantee you will find spots/drops quickly after the break and re-energise, no idea why - it just works for me every time. 👍
