I've not bought putty in ages. I use the old Taska Tungsten Chod Beads. They balance my pop ups perfectly. Been using the same ones for maybe 4 or 5 years now, I think they cost me 3 quid. Can't get much cheaper than that.

Like any fluoro/stiff hooklink it works well on clean substrates with a lead clip. I wouldn't use it on dirtier spots, even with a heli set up. Abrasion resistance is better than mono so should be ok around snags within reason. I'm not sure that's the right reason to use a rig mate. Have a think about what you're trying to achieve. Assess the spot and select the rig that presents/acts most effectively on the substrate👍

Imo it's not worth saving a quid or two when it comes to something as critical as rigs. If you're looking to save cash save it on the big superficial buys - shelters , bedchair etc.

I would consider 49% off to be a sale lol.

With lots of nuisance species around the sooner you get them on those boilies the better imo. With corn and pellet you'll need to be ready to get through a hell of lot of tench and bream to get to the carp.

I consider floater fishing to be stalking.

@Highy, get an ANKER off Amazon. Reasonably priced and very good quality.
-
Agree lads. That's a big risk to take. A game changer no less.
-
Schoolboy error my friend!!!! Agree.

Tackle I'd like to see invented?

You'd struggle big time imo mate, not good for distance. I once did a France trip with 30 odd kg and my spot was 100+. Baited with the stick all week, absolutely destroyed me. I pulled my shoulder, blistered my hands, all sorts😫 I remember the shoulder got better weeks and weeks later and just as I thought it was sorted I climbed a tree on a local pit and pulled it again lol. -

I'd like to see a carbon barrow. It'd cost a fortune but would be a fantastic weight saver. -

Dunno @oscsha, stick is good for up to 120 max imo, no good at 120+. -
My approach would be to fill it in with hemp and boilies. The carp will smash the hemp to bits, it'll wean them on to the boilies. Once they're eating the boilies I'd drop the hemp entirely. Best and quickest way to empty an un-fished lake imo.
-
Yes mate, that's normally the root cause.
-
That can only happen if the hook hasn't penetrated far enough mate. Not the fault of the hook. Just unlucky buddy.
-
Agree, the trick is hitting the clip just right I.e. not too high, not too low.
-
Imports. Don't count!

@Bgl you're replying to an 11 year old post bud.

@chillfactor they can take AGES to arrive, but they are decent mate 👍

It's not luck imo. We all have the choice in what we do, but few have the drive or desire to really succeed imo, in any discipline. Imo it is very easy to succeed in this country. But most Brits can't be bothered though.

Didn't Bale come from the working class lol? Yup. I couldn't care less how much Bale gets paid, fair play to the fella imo, but I hate what money has done to the game itself. The Prem is Micky Mouse now, no loyalty, no pride, all about money, and the Championship et al is following suit. I was bought up a football fan, I loved it. But the game is no longer what I once loved. I don't even watch MOTD any more. It's a real shame.
-
Exactly that mate👍 To suit the angling situation...... I'll always have the alarms set as sensitive as I can get away with given the conditions.
-
Fair play @Dicky123, I agree with you, I see guys not thinking about their angling all the time. Doing what they see on YouTube instead, just like your example.
-
Imo you should apply tactics based on the angling situation and the observations you make. Not because Alan Blair told you to. That is not thinking angling imo. See above dude.
