  1. Welcome to the forum, and good luck.
  2. Wow! I was a fan of the alien pipes before but Grunhilde really bends it! Thanks Levi.
  3. Welcome to the forum.
  4. They were designed so a live baitfish could be hooked through the back and allowed to swim freely, hence the name, bait runner (which Shimano patented), and a lot were destined for saltwater fishing. My 6500 would be a great reel for sharks, and that whole series featured waterproof drag so they could be rinsed. I don't think carp anglers were even considered at first, they just picked it up, but I could be wrong. In any case I think they're great.

  6. I like my 10000 XTE-A's but you'd be lucky to find a set in new condition now. They do pop up once in awhile though.

  9. Nothing wrong with dreaming. Ask somebody at Fox if they ever made them, I found them extremely helpfull and friendly. They're losing business to Gardner if someone wants a set of white ones so if they haven't made them maybe they should. Sent from my SM-T210R using Tapatalk

  11. Welcome to the forum.
  12. Welcome to the forum, 2.75 tc is generally accepted as the standard all round weight for a carp rod, but if you're going to be using method feeders all the time and fishing at distance you may want to consider a 3 lb tc. A good 2.75 rod will do it, so personal preference, matching suitable reels comes in and here is where visiting tackle shops and playing with their merchandise is useful. Make a few friends on here and go fishing and look at their stuff, could save you some time.

    Aviary .

    They all look so tasty, they're very cute, and at least they're warm blooded, but I can't help thinking of pies. [emoji1] Sent from my SM-T210R using Tapatalk
  15. Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
  16. Now I see, I didn't look close enough before and thought it had a wheel. Vast improvement over a stack of coins perched on the spool over a coffee can.
  17. With that deep notch it's almost like built-in snag bars.
  18. Well done the catchers!
  19. A rubber foot from a mic stand or misc band kit with a hole drilled for a bolt. It's gotta be in it's 10th year by now.
  20. I have a horking great Shimano Tribal holdall that weighs a ton when I have it stuffed full. I usually take something smaller since we have a 1 rod rule anyway.
