  1. The top one is a spotted eagle the bottom one a golden eagle.
  2. (4) Curtis Knight Zeus - Cloud - YouTube
  3. The hook used for the 360 was originally the fox hook, way before Dave went to jrc
  4. That should read 360 rig uses curved etc etc
  5. Yes and VMC amongst others for the dropdown rig not 360 £60 rig uses curved shank hook and a swivel, not a ring.
  6. Yes but I use actual ring hooks, lucky I have a few packs.
  7. Its to complicated for most people to bother with not sure whats its called but was invented by Townley. Uses ring hooks, separate hair etc. When I lay my hands on one of my rigs Ill take a photo and post.
  8. Wow, it shows me how different I am. I remember the first hair rigs and how effective they were in their day etc. But for the past 20 odd years I have used two rigs almost exclusively, one for anything remotely buoyant, the other for true bottom baits and these are coupled with either free running standard lead or free running helicopter set up. One is the so called 360 that I stole accidentally from its inventor and the other I don't know its name but its semi complicated and I have not seen mention of it. What I will say is I am convinced that if an average sized upwards carp picks either up, its curtains for that carp.
  9. Thake a word of advice, buy the M300, you can by pads for it on ebay/amazon for pennies, if you tight, refill the gas canisters[you tube] Clip it to you trouser, belt pocket etc and everywhere you go no biters within 20 feet, they are so unobtrusive you wont notice them. Why buy the big bulky things if not needed. Only time I would use one of them is in a great big indoor area , log cabin or the like.
  10. I cannot believe that you all are happy to spend your money on fancy tackle bait etc and then sit there getting bit or stung or spend money on chemicals to repel both insect and fish, a bit stupid in my book. Spend a little on a Thermacell and be done with all flying insect full stop.
  11. I have fished enough unfished lakes in my time, originally I used naturals [1970s,] then particles including corn[1980s-1990s] now I go all out big 22mm sturgeon pellet and or boilies. I genuinely believe I have wasted a lot of time chasing carp with so so baits, when I should have been using great baits.
  12. No that's not right. Micronized corn looks like cornflakes, it is used in lots of mixed feeds for dogs, horses, sheep, cattle etc. It looks like corn flakes! its precooked to help release all the goodness and the rolled and dried. Many thousands of tonnes are fed to carp asis every year. But if in doubt soak and boil!. If you re boil micronized corn you lose all the sweetness, protein etc.
  13. If you only want to feed it, buy flaked maize [micronized] as there is no need to cook it as its already cooked.
