  1. If you are looking to use tubing and still want the quick change element take a look at Gemini Carp Tackle, they do a specific kit for tubing, it contains a connector which slides down over the bag stem whilst gripping the tubing and stopping it sliding up the line.
  2. Good to see Gardner distributing it, just a shame it's more expensive to buy 600m then it used to be 1000m.
  3. Definitely different to your usual approach Nick. I think Adam Penning did something of a similar theme with a stiff boom connected to a Multi-Chod section via a short braided section. By all accounts worked really well.
  4. Very good quality bait oozes quality and TnM is probably the best one in the range.
  5. I have also found that not putting too much of the tag end in the gate of the splicing needle helps when pulling back through.
  6. Yes, it's the only coated braid i'm aware of that can be crimped. I love using Hybrid Stiff as a boom material.
  7. It's a great tool when used with the right materials. Great for creating booms whether it be for Ronnie rig, Hinged Stiff Rig or Combi's. It's also good for creating short Chods if that's your kind of thing and allows you to consistently get the same length each time.
  8. All got sent back to Shimano.
  9. Yes I have the Mark 1s. Just before my local shut down I had a play with the Carbon versions and they were very nice.
  10. I pair mine with some Pen Affinities. A couple of newer models have since come out but the reels are great and make for a balanced set up.
  11. Elmo Hydrotuff is quite a thick mainline so I would go with the 12lb and a leader.
  12. I wouldn’t tie a loop knot to then tie another knot to that. I would join the 2 materials together using a leader knot. Either a back to back grinner or Mahin knot for Fluoro to mono.
  13. Carpology seem to be advertising BMG tackle heavily at the moment and I’ve just checked their site and may be the one. Looks like they have just trimmed a bit off of the aligner bit.
