    Yes it is. Still, I'll try to find some that doesn't have to be shipped to me, because I know the s&h for 50 pounds worth of peanuts would be very expensive, but thanks for the info, because that would be a good option as a last resort.

    Just buy a party pack, more than enough for a session, handful is enough most times and I used thrn singly on one water a got 3 large fish on the same bait that I'd fug out the bottom of my bag. 

  2. That Scientology place used to belong to founder L Ron Hubbard . I worked there a couple of years back.  There's a climate of control and intimidation about the 'volunteers' there but the pond is far enough away from the manor house to afford some seclusion.  Most of the slaves are too busy doing their thing to bother you. There's an aura  of gloom over it all.

    I am very, very sceptical about trying a mainline from a firm that specialise in sandwhich toasters and don't actually produce anything themselves. I would defo wait for reviews bud.r

    You could just as easily add Fox, Nash,Rigmarole and of kourse, KKKKKorda to that.

    Most companies rebadge line from the very few line makers worldwide. It doesn't matter to me if RM only make (sorry,rebadge) sandwich toasters, or jaffles as they were called before, or churn out other tackle. Berkeley are the only company I can think of who specialise in mono.

    You could be right BC. Saw quite a few of the guys bivvied up for the night, I couldn't as

    a) I don't have a bivvy yet

    b) I was working today

     

    Had a great bit of news earlier. The mate that I went with yesterday is a roofer by trade. He had to go around a big nursing home in the area this morning to price a job up. There was a lovely lake in the grounds, that the manager showed him round. Big carp swimming around, and they gobble up the scraps thrown in by the kitchen and the residents also throw in scraps of bread that get them feeding. The manager has said that we can both fish it whenever we want for free. And it hasn't been fished for over 20 years.

    I'm excited already!!

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Is that a place out past Dorking way? I ask because I stopped off at a pub in that area and the landlord told me about somewhere very similar and gave me a phone number. I called, got some vaguely encouraging response but nothing ever came of it.

  5. Easy to do: get fine braid, I use Kryston Samson hair braid just thread through the eye and then whip it back down the shank and then half hitch the tag end back up the shank, You could glue it if you feel better but I don't. Then knotless knot your nylon over the hair and that tension is enough to hold everything in place. Just pull it all tight first.

  6. Well there you go. I personally haven't dealt with either and have no experience of international postage from these people but I would expect them to be good. A long as you'r happy with the price and are certain they will post to you then go for it.

    Fox reels used to be a little bit, rubbish at first but I understand they have got quite a lot better. I'd still go for Shimano because I use them all the time-I have 11 in total. Is it £100 for two reels or 1 reel?

    These might be what you like. But I can't say much about them. I think reels are more important than rods. Anyone can get away with a cheap rod, it's the reels that do most of the hard work.

  7. Yeah, it's probably about as smooth running as your old Soviet hairdryer as well. I'd go for something more modern rather than a nostalgia cult show. :wink:

    These normally offer good prices, the biggest problem you'll find is shipping to Russia as many don't do that. have you looked at German OR French web shops? They might ship to Russia....
