I think that's Eric from the Ellis vids?
-
Likewise mate👍
-
Will do mate. I only got 10k to cover me until I can get hold of some Trent gear tbh.
-
Funnily enough I just bought some boiled baits off them as the Trent Baits lads were on holiday. I went for the HNV Pro. Looks ok.
-
Fair play elmo. If you're confident in the spot and these could ruin that, bin them👍
-
Was a bit of a long shot mate. I think it's game over. They'll still be ok for pre-baiting purposes imo. Overrated imo. Too much rubbish in fizzy pop. You just need a bit of sugar to kick-start those natural processes.
-
To clarify, when I say they were v poor, I mean compared to what you can do yourself. They were usable. Agree, all the Dynamite Frenzied range is great. But it wants to be - it costs 5 to 10 times more than most prepared particle suppliers.
-
Worth a go I guess elmo. I bought some from Monster last year. They were really poor. You're better off doing them yourself imo mate. Same with all particles.
-
That's really interesting. I can only think that relates to the substrate AND the feeding situation (as the bridge area switched from BB's to PU's)?

1,000,000%

The cool box method is pants compared to proper prep mate. Soak, boil, simmer. You'll be able to turn the pan on it's side and it'll not fall out it's so gloopy👍
-
It should gloop up itself during cooking if prepared correctly. Soak for 24, boil, then simmer for half an hour👍
-
This is more important than any hypothetical stuff imo. Logic and fact beats theory all day👍
-
Did you catch on all 3 (pop-up, snowman, double bottom bait) over the course of the campaign Nick?
-
Not used one in years! On the rare occasion I need to use a bottom bait I'll use a hardened hook bait. Likewise. I can almost guarantee the length of the rig has nothing to do with your catching/not catching buddy. This is not a problem imo. The rig (assuming it is capable of presenting effectively) is not as important as many think imo.

Air curves/free spirit ctx rods
yonny replied to Marvoulous barbless's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
It'll not be cheap mate. You'd be wiser buying better rods than getting cheaper rods and spending money tarting them up imo. -
No it's fine mate. Tbh even fishmeal baits are OK in my experience. It's just high oil pellet you want to avoid. They key to winter baiting is timing imo. Any old decent bait will work. The trick is to start before winter and keep it going in. If you start in winter it's generally too late and you've missed the boat. But if you start early you can keep them visiting right through the colder months.
-
I just carry on with whatever I'm using in summer/autumn tbh. I guess I cut down down on pellet and boilie but apart from that I just carry on.
-
Gutted! That's the problem with mono, it's fine until you get a frap up or something like that, then you're guaranteed to lose whatever it is you're casting out. As in Spider Wire? I struggled with that stuff, it has a waxy coating, doesn't behave too well.
-
Snap. I've used every combo of materials you can imagine and braid straight through is the least hassle by miles imo.
-
4 turns for me.
-
Galician. It is the strain that started it all for us. Donald Leney imported a bunch and the rest is history.
-
Not heard that in a while. You not using a spomb?
-
Council run so it's their call. Ultimately they'll lose the revenue stream when there's nothing left in it. I see it's SSSI so they might not be able to fence it even if they wanted to.
-
Absolutely mate. Knowing what you're trying to achieve👍
