  1. I've ordered my prestige fatboy chair and I'll let u know what it's like when I get it later in the week
  2. Same as blue Use pod on hard ground and bars all other times
  3. like carpmachine (good job I checked my spelling i nearly called you crapmachine) said an avon rod would be great for your needs I would recommend trying a few out as the actions from rod to rod can be extremely different
  4. Yea looked at the nash big daddy and prestige fatboy but am going with the latter because it's got really good reviews from people bigger than your average carp angler and it's 50 quid cheaper
  5. don't you mean when my fat ass made a bid for freedom a few months ago when I was putting a fish back only hoping my chair fairs better than the seat of my pants
  6. I've not got 1 yet but I've heard good things about the prestige fat boy chair I like you am 17 stone and 6' 4" and will be getting 1 very soon
  7. I suffer from bad back and random bouts of syatica so I got a true flat wide boy bed and tightened the elastic right up to stop sagging and got myself a proper pillow and my back problems and shoulder pain have completely gone
  8. Agree with the wychwood riots but I'd go for sonik or chub outcast rods
  9. I was worried about the switch but its really easy mate and I've not struck yet and lines flew of the spool cos I've forgot to tighten the clutch up
  10. I've got some wychwood riots on my spod and marker rods and they seem fine but never really used them on my main rods
  11. I switched from shimano gte baitrunners to daiwa entoh big pits and so glad I did and wouldn't go back Was abit worried about not having a baitrunner feature but front drag is loads better imho Quick drag is standard on some pit reels but wasn't on my entoh's but found you don't really need it What reels you looking at getting ?
  12. I bought mine simply for the fact it makes me chuckle when I tell people I've got a 50mm diameter buttring
  13. No after a lot of research I went for soniks as they were getting really good write ups so went for the sk4 xtr 3.5tc with 50mm buttring and they kick bottom,very very pleased with them
  14. I've got a zed bed 4, it weighs a ton and is bulky but its very comy Luckily I can park at the back of any swim on my syndicate but I'd still rather barrow it about and get a decent nights kip than have something lighter but isn't big enough to fit me properly
  15. Outcasts all day long, had the 2.5tc and only upgraded when I moved onto a bigger water and I still use the spod and marker rods
  16. yea had a tfg sleepingbag as well which was absolute pants but still better than trakker stuff
  17. I had some tfg alarms years ago and they were garbage and was in the bin after 6 months and replaced with some cheap fox alarms which were great and only swapped them cos im going deaf and needed a receiver so got some delkims
  18. ive got the chub outcast spod and markers rods and the spod rod is 5tc not sure about the marker rod but ive had um for years n they still going strong was like you and was gonna change um when I got some new rods 6 years ago but thought if it aint broke don't fix it n stuck with um
  19. got my self a avid benchmark x sleeping bag a few months ago for just £116 (standard size bag is about £106) and so far its kept me toasty warm in temps down to zero plus the inside zips out for summer use. well worth the cash if you plan on fishing all year round
  20. would have thought a stiffer rod would be better for marker work as it wouldn't soak up as many vibtations
  21. I've got a set of entoh's and tbh they aren't worth the £200 a piece I paid for um and don't perform any better than the £40 wychwood riots I use on my spod and marker rods
  22. have a look at the sonic range mate ive had some xtr's for a few years now and lovin um
  23. I got a mk2 carp porter with a puncture proof wheel and im finding it harder to push than my old fox barrow or it could be im getting fat old n lazy
  24. ive had mine for about 8 years and ive had to replace the mesh a few times but other than that its been great
  25. that's what ive got yonny and its awesome. I charge my phone and tablet everyday on a 72 hour session and its still got juice to spare ive never used the ridge monkey charger but for the £140 price tag id want it waking me up with a piping hot brew n a fryup
