Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello all, What are your thoughts or experience of patrol routes and how they differ with changing temps/weather, not necessarily summer/winter more one day to the next. An example, do carp enter a bay area the same way on a hot day when they are in the upper layers, as opposed to a cooler, drizzly day. Cheers, Bob

It's something I wanted to do for years, but never actually got round to it. I liked the idea of producing a food source bait and catching on it. My fishing, for the next few years, is changing from carp to trout and pike. The only bait to worry about will be deer hair or pheasant feather. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You're assuming you're getting paid for not rolling, unless you can work the extra hours then it doesn't add up. If you can't fit two hours in to knock up 5kg, then buy. However, if you have the time, and want to make your own, then surely cost per hour doesn't matter. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not sure, but I heard Barlestone is shut due to some form of problem, oxygen, poisoning, disease etc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Chameleon gets my vote, used it for 15 years or so on my lighter gear. GR60 graces my carp reels currently, no complaints on that either. Although I am looking to eek some extra yards on the cast so my drop to something more suited.

They look awful. Probably a ridiculous price to.

Imo many Liverpool fans have gotten off lightly and the police are a disgrace. -

There is no indication in this post that he is new to the forum and he hasn't said hello, in this post. So, no, there will be no hello and welcome from me. I've never heard of Golden Nook. Sounds more like a Chinese.

Hi http://www.lakedistrictfishing.net/ check out that website for a bit of info. Lake district is a lovely place with plenty of stunning waters to fish, won't be long before you're pining for a scottish loch. One thing i've been meaning to do is take a small fly rod up to red tarn and winkle a trout/charr out, that would be sweet.

Good luck man!! -
Hi The way I read it, are you confusing dropping the lead with using a back lead? Many people tie there lead on or trim their clip down so any force or pressure the lead will drop off. I haven't read, but that doesnt mean you can't, of people dropping the back lead on the take, not sure how you would do that.

I switched to the GR60 this year and love it, yes its a little thick but I like the way it feels and the best sinking line, bar flouro, i've used. Not due for a change just yet, but its nice to know the 60 will be around for a bit yet if I stick with it. at 9.99 though i'll be keeping ann eye on this review. -

Get back on Merricks and pull some more twentys out? isn't there a 30? i'm surprised your enthusiasm has waned as from what I read you really took it by the horns. Failing that what are your other realistic options?
