I hate em Oli , they create an angle in the line and , to me , negates the effect of the slack lining which imo always gives far superior bite indication with a running lead . If i was fishing at distance ( for me ) with a tight line then i have used the Korda flying backleads to try and minimise the liners near to my end tackle but i cant honestly say that it improved my results at all

Im of the opinion that a tight line cutting through the water probably will spook a carp should it bump into it . Im equally of the opinion that that Carp is probably nowhere near your end tackle at the time so it wouldnt matter anyway .

I'm happy to assume you are using a semi-fixed lead set up

Or me

In Carpology Nick . Didnt do lead clips any favours

Thats what i'd like to know mate . The eastern europeans have eaten a lot of our Carp in the uk so i'm eagerly awaiting CM's reply ?

Dan can you put a link up mate ? If you can i'll have a butchers tonite when i have a bit more time ....

Yeah CM

I dont watch any manufacturers DVD's . There IS only ever one agenda . If Nashy is talking bite indication then he is plugging something you just have to read deeply between the lines . Olly , if you read this mate , CM is quite correct . Silt rig . Or to put it in a modern term . Choddies

Not sure the same can be said for Villa by all accounts

Thats more like it gents

I think you are quite correct mate . I hope they win midweek but my head tells me Do away goals count double ?

Arrr steve a replay . Thats all your lot need .

Thinking about the semi midweek arent they ? What price Heskey ?

What do you think of the liverpool line up steve ? Nice to see the long nosed ones get beat

That'll be why then lol , love to see the spuds get beat too they have had a few lucky breaks lately

They beat Swansea ? Oh well thats my bet down already ffs

Anyone fancy any shocks today ? I can see Brum beating west brom

Oh you have nothing to worry about on that score West Ham are beaten before the coach hits the M62 when it comes to Anfield matches . I still remember standing in the Anfield road end and losing 5-1 many moons ago after pretty much running the show first half . John Lyalls last game as manager .

Lol , yeah next week will be interesting for sure . Difference is we had nothing to lose because we always always lose at chelsea anyway . Same as Anfield . 1963 last time we won there so the fans want us to go for it but BFS wont . You have a cup final at stake

You have Pace there steve and Cahill & the other Oaf cant cope with it . Thats why Hammers fans were outraged on boxing day . BFS had the opportunity to go with Sakho and Valencia up front with Downing at the tip of the Diamond which brought us our early season successes but chose to plod about with AC reverting to type. Imo The plastics are vulnerable when you have a real go . BFS wouldnt but your lot have to so im looking forward to it

Good to get a liverpoooool fans view of it . Not my view but the general concensus down here is that the reds will get battered at the plastics next week . A Liverpool v Blunts final would be nice

Well that didnt work out did it What do you reckon on your chances next week stevey ? You have your annual rout against us the following saturday ? Are the reds coming into form or was it just what you should have expected from the home team in a semi-final ?

Exactly the same as me mate except i dont need a tail rubber for my run ring Though i do sometime apply a Gardner rig sleeve depending on the hooklink material . Would you say leadcore is an improvement on mills bombs then ? A little tip from one of my Albanian ex-colleagues

Me neither Jon , that is kin 'orrible ! There will be those that will blame that on an Otter or Mink or whatever but you can clearly see where a leader of some sorts has literally sawn through the fish . I was toying with the idea of using tungsten tubing of some sort this year instead of my mainline straight through but in an event of a breakage it would just slide off the line anyway so wouldnt acheive anything except make my end tackle visibler ( is that a word ? Lol ). I think i'll stick with what i do i'd hate to think there was 1% chance of me being responsible for something like that . This AC geezer needs to elaborate a littke bit . Put up or dont comment is the phrase i believe .
