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

Not telling 😂

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. 👍

Sat 22nd Feb - First night on the syndi, nothing seen or heard except the thousands of birds roosting - what a place, love it, fingers crossed for a good year! 🤞

The dream alarms turned out to be a nightmare and it's not just mine, I've got mates who also regret buying them. Still got my Fox MXs from years back, like you say - never miss a beat in all conditions. On the RX+ now 👍

I'd never have Delkim again - what a let down, unreliable rubbish - must be the only alarms that can't cope with rain and humidity, pathetic!

They're everywhere, I think we're just done talking about it coz nothing will change. Numbers will just go up and up and lakes will continue to be fenced. My syndi isn't fenced and obviously we have otters to contend with, it's a constant threat. I've fished two fenced lakes and both still had otters getting in and out, once they smell the fish they come back every night looking for weaknesses in the fence, it never stops! My uncle has a lake, stocked it with carp in the 80s, nowhere near a water course and now he has just a handful of tiny baby carp and small roach left thanks to Mr Otter. I'm NOT a fan - it's disgusting how land owners are being treated!

Solar do or did a cheap version of their SP Tech - I bought it cos it's lighter for my long barrow trips. Only paid £205 and I think that's a good price. Whilst I've had it less than a year I think it's no longer a thing unless you can find old stock - possibly 'Undercover Pro Sleep System' or similar - I put it on the New Purchases thread some time ago. https://www.c2kft.co.uk/product/solar-new-undercover-pro-sleep-system-ucp01/

Yes they'll be OK, just check the ring every now and then.

Your Fox ones will be fine to use and if it cuts you can file and eventually replace the run ring maybe, it's only a ring bit of braid and lead clip, hardly difficult to make that yourself I guess. Just worth knowing in case it happens to you 👍

No but seen them, I prefer the way the Fox one sits during the cast, like the Nash one, the ring slides onto the float. Not an expert by any means but I'd look at the Nash or new Ridgemonkey one although it's so over priced it's crazy, not sure if there are any others worth a look at.

If they are plastic still and not been made ceramic lined the line will cut in, sorry mate it just does. I was using the floats in 20 foot so lots of adjustment so mine wore down quick. I ended up getting a file on the cut/groove so they worked again.

These don't last your line cuts into the run ring so the float wont come up, this will save you time wondering what's going on after a few sessions - it's this!

Thanks mate and yes I'm well thanks- hope you are too 😊 I do like these drop shot and ned set ups, you can catch almost anything and such raw takes with the thin braid and light rod. Looking forward to spring 👍

Perfect idea, we are obviously key members of the board. 2 strikes and you're out 🤣
