  3. Shimano 6000 rb baitrunner

    Something in the back of my mind tellsme that there used to be washers provided with new reels. Depending how many washers were used would determing wether the line laid towrds the front of the sp[ool, rear of the spool or even across the spool.

    The washers may already be placed on the spindle under the spool.

    If you bought the reels new did you get any info/instructions to look at.

    2 hours ago, commonly said:

    I'm no expert, from personal experience it can be hard to relate, explain or burden, loved ones with your inner feelings.

     

    I agree commonly i find it quite hard talking about my feelings to very close loved ones, but i find it much easier talking to somebody that doesnt know me.

    Please guys dont take it personnaly if people dont talk directly to you i know myself how hard it is sometimes

    I think as long as you can talk to somebody wether loved ones or strangers will certainly help.

  7. Spodding

    if you have room just clip up the rod at the desired distance then put a temporary lead on the spod rod, take both rods and plug the leads in the ground (stand on them ) open the bale arms and walk backwards until you hit the clip then clip up the spod rod, allow a little less length on the spod rod depending on depth of water wind both rods back up and replace the lead with the spod and they are both then at the correct distance.

    You obviously need enough clear room to use this method.

  9. Losing the buzz

    I fealt the same a couple of years back mainly due to stresses at home. As i found i didnt have much time to relax and fish properly i bought a stalking rod and started doing just a few hour early morning or late evening. I found i really enjoyed it and im still finding my feet with the method as ive always sat behind rods overnight. I have also found im working harder at watercraft and finding fish and my catch rate has gone up, and now i find im turning overnighters down when i have to do them, and if i do one i find im getting inpatient sat waiting 😨. Maybe give it a go i found it worked great for me.

  14. Rig tubing recomendations

    in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment

    Posted

    Ive not used any rig tubing now for the last 10+ years and dont have even have any in my tackle box, prefering to use leadcore or more recentley lead free leaders. I am fishing a water next month that doesnt allow leaders of any kind. 

    Im looking for a supple heavy sinking tube preferably with various colours not just one solid colour. 

    Any recomendations guys.

    Thanks Gary

    I had a day session at a well stocked local farm pond and had a couple of fish on the 23rd Dec . The first was about 12-13lb taken on a 2 foot zig in approx 4 foot of water, no pic and the second was 17lb 8oz taken on an 18 inch zig in the same area.

  19. Free spirit ctx or nash pursuit 3lb test

    Thanks pal i have been using shimano diaflash (bugs) 2.75lb tc for the last 16 years and really liked them until i managed to break one a couple of weeks back :(:( i have noticed the ctx dont come in 3lb tc but im going to have a ride out to chapmans to have a look at some when i have a spare half day. The only pusuits ive picked up were 3.25 tc and i think thats over doing it for most of the waters ill be fishing, im hoping the ctx may be a little more forgiving.

  21. Free spirit ctx or nash pursuit 3lb test

    in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment

    Posted

    Hi guys im thinking of purchasing a couple of new rods either the free spirit ctx or nash pursuits in 3lb test curve. I wont be fishing over the 100 meter mark so im not sure if i need the 50mm ring  set, i can get the ctx with 40mm ring set. I have looked at the pursuits but not in 3lb test and there isnt a stockists near me for the ctx so i haven't seen these yet. 

    Does anybody use  either of the above and what are your views on them.

    Thanks in advance.
