  1. I use sprays on my hookbaits, namely pop ups. I keep topping them up and letting them dry in the pot before repeating. I fish silty meres mainly and I want the hookbaits to have absorbed all they can before going out. This should help them becoming tainted by the silt. 

    My zig baits are kept in a solution of neat thaumatin b mixed with water, 50:50. 

    These still have that sweet taste even after being out for over 24 hours. 

     

    I dont beleive they are a gimmick, if used in a benificial way😘

  2. I know I will sound biased, but for £199, the Titan hide covers everything I want from a shelter. Lightweight (4.4kg), fast to put up (under a minute), super strong and solid as a rock, loads of room both height and ground space for such a small footprint, packs down to 44inch, no need for storm poles. Can add an overwrap, groundsheet, waterproof front or mozzie front. 

    Its a brolly that thinks it’s a bivvy or if you’re the othe way, it’s a bivvy that thinks it’s a brolly!

    you would think that if the Gyro needs shrink tube then it would be fitted during manufacture?

    bit of a numpty moment there by Nash. (imo)

    And thus limiting the hook for use in that one way😉
