    And no, I’m not banned. Just never have much time to post. I still read through where I can, keeping up with monitoring swearing etc.

    Can’t get the colour/dye anymore. 
    we do the same leader in 3 different colours now. Black, green and clear. The clear one is ace but I prefer the green as it blends in on all types of bottom, green or not. Very similar to the diffusion camo. 
    PS I still have a load of the D-cam ones 😉

    That camera may take an intovalometer. They are the best thing for self takes. 
    You can set the delay, interval time between shots, how many shots it fires etc etc. You can pick them up for around a tenner on amazon.

    I had a busy lockdown period. Lots of building work at home, lots of work and maintenance down the lake and also tried getting to grips with filming and editing. Once lockdown ended, I managed to get out for a few short trips which gave me chance to flip the switch on the camera to video mode. Here’s the outcome of the  two trips that I filmed.

    Have you priced up the difference between buying ready made helicopter leaders and buying the components separately? I’m sure I saw a mate post on Facebook that he was better off financially, buying the ready made kits when you pro rata the cost. He uses Korda ones.

    Are you going to the northern angling show mark? If so, pop over to our stand and I’ll talk you through all the benifits of the bushwhacker. It’s so different than anything else on the market and in my honest opinion, so much better.

    I’m not sure what jp use to sharpen but he does thousands of them so would make sense to use something mechanical? 
    I very rarely use any other rig than a multi rig. A lot of this is down to presentation, but you get the added benefit of being able to change the hook quickly. The sharper the hook, the quicker it blunts, as you well know. Some of the hooks out of the packet now are crazily sharp. Kamakura’s and pinpoints for example. I can now give them a quick touch on the doctor if they come in not 100% and I’m away fishing again. I haven’t fished a session longer than 4 hours since September, so speed is paramount in my angling. At trade shows when demoing the product, I purposely turn hooks over (far more than sinking on gravel or hooking a fish would do) and bring them back to life in seconds. We will sell less hooks now 😂
    It’s not just carp anglers that will benefit  either. Lure anglers, fly, dead and live bait, sea etc. They will all save time and money having one of these in their kit.

    It’s way easier than to get consistent results with very little practice. You have much more control over hand movement as the ‘file’ is in a fixed position rather than in your other hand. The vice is designed so that you can just touch the hook onto the stone with great control. You don’t have to worry about keeping it on plane. A second on the back of the point is all that’s needed but you can touch up the two sides. The only real worry is overdoing it. Less is more and all that!
