well done mate, lovely place as well

not sure about cat hooks tbh, bit barbaric for carp but i do think that bigger hooks AND/OR heavier weights could be the way forward. as beanz said, if they are picking it up then they dont know its a trap, so by saying that we have tricked them up BUT just not hooking them. last week i dont a 24 and had a big time drop back, wound down into nothing. i KNOW i was done more than once on that session, dont know how i know but i just know (its that gut instinct that says i failed) gonna step up hook size first and see how it goes, then if nothing or the same then a bigger mould for bigger leads

no its not the reason for your tangles but imho i would NEVER use it with lead clips. thats a different thread though

rushes or genesis will be the better options for you

how weird is that, last week a mate was saying that is the only rig he uses now, then it pops up on here. to me it is just another overcomplicated rig thats there to catch the angler. in all honesty there probably aint a rig out there that works how we think it does, including the one you just put up. do people honestly think that all these "known" carpers use all these complicated rigs?

agreed ^^^^^^^^^ anything with matt and mick do it for me. proper good all rounders and a good laugh

have fun. happy birthday jamie

agree mate, the bloke is getting fishing a real bad name. i would like to use a bow and arrow on him lol

well done jez. one day i gonna visit this place myself

cant work out why your having so many problems, cut it, wet it through lips and thread it lol. never had a problem with braid tbh. maybe there is a fault with the hook/hook eye?

braid blades, have a look on a well known auction site mate

i dont want to knock him either BUT, why do people like this up his own backside so much? god i hate him more than any other "carp celebrity" lol

all i know is that there are some pike in there as well but not sure on sizes tbh

i am going to be getting on this myself very soon, due a change of line for when i do a week next month. i went onto korda sub-line but not very impressed now although at first i was

tbh i like the look of this line myself so will be watching your reviews

genesis i can recommend as i have fished it and loved it mate, rushes always gets great write ups as well, so imho either one would be great for you

cracking result mate, well done

awful things should be banned imho

some allow it and some dont tbh. a water i now fish allows the barb to be crimped but others i know dont so you better off asking the owner/club/syndi

another esp fan here. i used nash fang for a while but found they went a bit down hill?

dito lol

ouch, glad all is better. gutted that someone said about the dodgy tag ends first though

the reason they use is that it never rots down so i have been told
