Some of the ones I have on my phone:

I wouldn’t know where to start. The two lakes I’ve fished most of my time on over the last 10 years hold some real lookers (horseshoe and my syndicate). Then you have the socials at places like churn pool.

Well in mufty. Pretty consistent this year again mate.

Same principle as the twister really. Imagine 3 turns (angles) trying to pull one out. A curved hook will come out in one single, fluid, movement. The claw pattern allows you a wider gape than a twister though. So will suit different rigs better. Floater fishing for instance. A shorter shank and wider gape, rather than the longer shank and narrower gape of the twister. The main thing is, what every hook anyone uses, is to make sure it suits the mechanics of the rig you are tying with it. My goto pattern since using the Nash hooks, is the chod twister on my favoured multi rig. It sits absolutely perfect with the semi stiff skinlink hook link.

Haha!!! When we were in France, I had to do that with the cable ties on the one I bought too!!! Most of of my fish this year have come to a heavily baited spot with all three rods on it. Starting off with 5kg of boilie tipped tight to a spot off the boat. That’s my favourite way of static fishing. One of the lads said to me that I could treble my chances of a bite if I fished three different spots with a rod each. My reply was along the lines of ... if I think the fish are going to feed on the spot, why would I put rods elsewhere??? I’ve had numerous double tales and quick, second bites whilst fishing with all three, or at least two rods on ‘the spot’! So in effect, I am trebling my chances by fishing three tight together, not separated. Having said that, I have also had good hits by fishing singles ‘loosely’ chucked to an area. And bags. And zigs. And a lightly baited spot. And particles only. And bookies only. And a mix of both. It’s all down to knowing, or guessing, what will give you the best chance on any given day. One trick pony’s are exactly that. Will do well some days but struggle most others, blaming something else as it ‘worked’ last time! if I had to pick THE favourite way to catch them, it would be stalking them with one rod, close in, watching everything they do.

Churn pool then.

Look up blackthorn fishery on Facebook. The lodges are outstanding and it did a 40 this autumn. Lots of 30’s too. And it’s only in Shropshire, so not too far to travel.

Basically what I use, along with a feed pellet in the summer, for the lakes supplement feed. Only I pay less than a tenner per bag from the local animal feed store.

I use 50kg a week of flaked maize on my lake mate.

Congratulations mate. Welcome to my world of getting to the lake late and packing up early!!!!

Where do you live? Ps I use the stabilised the majority of the time😘

Nash scopex squid is available in freezer bait. And the Nash scopex squid is £39.99 for a 5kg bag

Scopex squid is available in freezer form. Stabilised is a way to ‘shelf life’ a bait.

Not as busy as my Facebook wall!!! Lol

Going by his posts, I reckon he’s got to be a manc!!!! Lol

Same.

You could tie a couple of knots in the hair length. This will stop the baits from sliding apart.

If you are trimming the cultured baits, you may as well use standard baits as you would be removing the actual thing you pay more for, the cultured coating!! I never use glue.

Great bait and hookbaits. When mounting the cultured baits, don’t forget to cut a bit of the coating away for where the boilie stop sits. This will keep the stop tight to the bait when the outer layers disperse

Nice

I’ll be there all weekend. Feel free to bring me over coffee (or beer)!!!

The 3 for 2 is only on the instant action range. The scopex squid is a more expensive bait. But yeah, on the 5kg price, it’s a real bargain.

You can get it from any stockist at £39.99 for a 5kg bag.

You won’t be disappointed. Let us know what you think of it when you use it.

The trouble with casting in a high arch, for the spomb to open (it needs to land nose first), is that any sort of cross wind will have you dumping bait all over the shop. Before the dot spod came out, I would use a traditional spod if any wind as I am a bit ocd with making sure my baiting is spot on. With the dot spod, you can cast it and hit the clip the same as your ‘fishing’ rods. If you clip up to the distance with a spomb, you have to allow extra yardage because of the need to hit the clip so high up, allowing that nose dive. For me, the dot spod has answered all my questions.
