Just finished reading it, it's a novelisation of the film, brilliant read, I don't normally read autobiographical types of books, but this was brilliant, it covers his time as a TV presenter right through to the closing of the Hacienda. Funny, informative and entertaining all the way through. If you've got any interest in the Madchester scene, I can't recommend this book highly enough!

Steve, you're a clever fella. Well done. Keep it to yourself in future though!

What I imagine you'll find, pretty quickly, is that it's grim up North.

And why would you want to go to the hassle of doing that? Surely it is best to choose a certain hooklink material in a certain length for a certain bottom you are fishing over (taking into account your baiting pattern and the actual bait you are using) on the given day. Apart from my choddies, i do not tie my rigs at home anymore. I get to the swim i choose, decide what bait im fishing with and the bottom im fishing over then tie a rig to suit the situation. I feel doing it that way you are more flexible in your approach. My God, things have changed since I've been away, you're using choddies Tony?!

Well i better learn the art of text talk then, if some words are ok but not others. Yep i'm being picky, cuz i no iv got pemisson to write cack, cuz its still readable. As we say here in Leicester... Chuff off

The 2 truest things iv heard today It does not bode well when even the moderators start using text talk does it Come on guys how much text talk do we have to have in one thread? This is a local thread for local people and we will talks like we wanna - right! League of Gentlemen - nice!

It's pretty smile IMO, but I just question why you wouldn't just use a pendant style lead, unless you were attatching PVS stocking bags to the swivel at the bottom of the inline? http://www.carpology.net/downloads/Tactics17.pdf Go to page 5

There's a Johnny MAc article in CARPology, you've probably seen it but I'll try and find it and get the issue number. Not sure if that's the one Kev's recommended though...

Welcome to the forum mate, and unless I am mistaken, well done on some cracking, interesting blog videos from the Woolpack!

Yep, its the Rigmarole CamH2O that you're thinking of. Got 3 spools for a tenner at a show a while back, and it is nice stuff, perfect in 15lb for leaders.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? I'm bursting here! Well sucking fingers should sort that out for you Sam PMSL! THought something like that would be your reply!

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? I'm bursting here!

I've heard of a few 20's in there, I think it might have been Courtz saying he saw them?

Hmmm... Always thought this was mostly a game fishing res... Any chance of a PM with the details you've sent Hpruski? Thanks, Sam

Who says I fish it only as a Fixed position rig even over gravel? My dislike of the Name "Chod" rig It is a rotary style rig and lead set-up, Bomb-on-the-end-of-the-line or Helicopter set-up. Fair enough. I thought you didn't like the 'Silt' rig, regardless of what you're fishing over, or did you mean the Rotary set-up in weed?
