For that money you want to call nick buss and get some customs made up. Tell him what your requirements are and he'll build you your perfect rods. Contact details on the century website.

I have a mate that played around with this type of rig. It didn't work:-(

Ah, I get ya...... For a period I used these to enable quick change of links: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quick-Change-Q-Rings-Rings-Carp-Fishing-Tackle-Links-Rig-Rings-Link-Loops-Black-/151475152065?var=&hash=item23449f64c1:m:mjwmu6Toumpmgl9xcf1nrbQ

Why not re-tie the leader onto the mainline instead of the dropper to the leader?

Yeah defo the pigment fella.

I did not I'll be re-spooling with the 18 lb again in the coming weeks. I'll keep my eye on that!

I quite like the colour Chill..... pop it on the deck next time your down the pond, it blends in pretty well with almost anything. Do know what you mean though - when I fist spooled up it surprised me too. Glad you like it otherwise, that abrasion resistance is something else eh..... defo the toughest line I've used. You use the same reels as me fella. That pic could be of my spool lol.....

There is no standard but the most common are a size 12. Size 11 seem to be popular too nowadays (both Korda and Gardner have moved from 12 to 11 I think), along with the smaller sizes 8s and 9s. The size 12 is what I consider to be a standard ring swivel and will fit most heli set ups.

Got it in one😂

The narrow puncture proof wheel is pants bud, it tends to slip and slide all over the place in mud which aint good for maintaining balance. There's no tread on it which doesn't help.

150 with a 2.75 is completely unrealistic IMO.

That! A great caster will cast a 2.75 TC rod 120 yards. A bad caster will struggle to hit 100 with a 3.50 TC rod. Check out Mark Hutchinson and Terry Edmonds casting vids on Youtube, they added miles to my casting.

I use these for zigs. They drop the lead much better than your std lead clip. Wet the clip and just push the tail rubber on a tiny bit. Drops the lead every time and can withstand big casts.

Tight git lol

Set of each would be perfect bud!

Just been sorting my gear out and a full set of top end rods, reels, and alarms are missing ... looked on ebay but none on there ... might have to buy a whole new range unless i can get them from somewhere else......

The Nash is massive and very heavy, and that's without the 3rd skin (which IMO is a pretty pointless product). I'd avoid this unless you plan on doing long-stay static fishing (this is not the bivvy you want if you intend to stay on fish). Decent for long session holiday angling where you cannot move I guess. My mate had one and hated it, it's like building a house every time you put it up. The M3 is right up there with the Armo and the Titan as one of the best all-round bivvies going. A very, very good shelter.

As a base to pump full of my own attractors I think the mainline wafters are as good as any you can get off the shelf. They're pretty thirsty i.e. they take on liquids very readily. Rarely use wafters but when I do I use mainline.

I use cheap rubbish from B&M in my Delks, not changed them in 2 years. Still going strong. Shows how much I catch I guess......

Doesn't that mean we're all average height and you're a short-git*?

Mate showed me a pic of a common from here this weekend. A very nice fish indeed. Think in the last couple of years a lot of the fish have started reaching good sizes (30+). It was day ticket but has gone syndicate/members only. Loads of info online if you have a really good look.

Don't know about our lad Greekskii but I'm 6 ft 3 and fit on the compact. It's the lightest on the market (or was, anyway) which is why I went for it. It's not the highest bed I've owned fella. Legs are adjustable so you can raise it but it'll still not go that high.

Also use the Tactical Compact. Replaced a 250 quid bed with this (for about a hundred quid I think) and it's miles better. It's very stiff, which I find comfy - in the softer ones you just sink, they droop like a hammock which is no good for your back.

Is that all?

You can have mine if you need one Vik - I've never used it.
