In that case it's the braid that's dodgy. I've used all sorts of combinations in the past and I now just use 40lb braid straight through. Dead easy, no issues.

They've always had that bro. It's just that very few people realised.

Thinking Anglers unexplored "Highlands to Lowlands"

Luckily, the places I tend to fish are run by anglers, for anglers, and boats are banned on all of them. I cannot see myself fishing a place on which boats are allowed unless there's something very, very special in there and even then, I'd be happy to take my chances against those that need a boat to place a bait.

@elmoputney I was a skater up until my early 20's when I smashed by ankles up. To this day I wear a lot of skatey stuff and I have a lot of Palace bits, including a couple of Palace vs Adidas bits. When this vid came out I was speechless.... talk about a colliding of worlds. Couldn't make it up!

Mate.... Nash haven't released anything of good quality in 15 years +.... imo. At the price point you're looking at I'd be going with Okuma. -

Same, but I did it with the old Gardener carbon fibre pod. Looked ace, still have it somewhere.

This was yesterday afternoon. By morning it looked just like the posts above. Glad to get home for once.

Tapered shock leader or just shock leader for mono?
yonny replied to elmoputney's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I use the ESP tapered mono shock-leaders for my big water. They've been around forever and admittedly I'm a bit of a dinosaur when I find tackle I trust - I hate to change. They do the job and are very reliable. Don't discount an even finer mainline to get the most out of the leader. I've gone as low as 0.28 without issues. Obviously it all depends on how weedy your water is. -
The Trent Baits shelfies are v good. They're only partially "shelfied" in that they have very low levels of preserves/stabilisers. Unopened they last a year, once the bag is opened they'll last 2 months. Trent took years getting these just right (a couple of us on here almost gave up waiting for them) but the wait was worth it. I use the Freshwater Shrimp but you see people raving about most of their recipes.

So last night I picked up a set of 3pc Harrison Ballista 9 footers. Built by Vic Gibson. Nice little addition to the collection 😃

Me too. Awesome stuff.

I'd be starting my search here... constant food source for them..... but with one day and one rod to play with I'd not even be tackling up until I'd seen a sign of carp.
