Yep certainly a useful tool.

Having seen what I saw yesterday a decent angler with a bait boat can certainly do things you can't with a rod and line, I watched someone drop a good handful of bait and rig on an actual bin lid sized gravel spot at about 28 wraps in open water, you wouldn't even find that spot with a lead I don't think, if you did you would probably give up before you found it again. certainly made me regret selling mine a bit. He had a winch camera on it, was pretty amazing to see what lies beneath tbh.

What if you fished with a bait boat too though would your results have been even better?

That they should, sales would go through the roof, couldn't use all their products though, they would need a lightweight bivvy before I signed the contract 😂

I think I might get the particle plate after all, just watched a video tigers come out a nice size and dave levy said about crushing maize that's got to be an edge right there, crushed maize, tigers and hemp and a little crumb and chops, the carp would be wetting themselves with joy at that mix,

I can't believe you haven't either they are so useful 😂and you can make your bait go twice as far in a short space of time , I don't use the crusher that often but this time of year I do use a bit of crumb, and it's handy when I need it, you can also crush pellets that's a good thing to do, Ridgemonkey is miles ahead in this department, they make kordas bits look like they come out of smyths toy superstore.

3 avid for the tried and tested Ronnie, and the other two for a solid bag /method feeder rig I have decided I want 😂 I never bothered with the particle plate, I had a similar thing with tigers, I put them through again and it crushed them a bit more, I also think the PP would just turn boilies into dust, I quite like there is still chunks, I also have a couple of choppers they work a treat make light work of halving baits, need to stay fairly close to the size they recommend though as the blade flexes if the boilies are too small for the chopper.

Little bit more stuff today 3 packs of large avid d rig kickers, Avid QC lead clips and tail rubbers 10 off Some ridgemonkey d rig kickers and also some gardner d rig kickers. Turns out I mainly bought kickers 😳

Can't do this with a spomb though can you?

Oh really I didn't know that, that would've been a feature to brag about when they have so many people complaining about them not opening 😳😂

Apparently spombs now have a setting which you can click/adjust in the nose that makes them open easier, X spod is still better though.

Agreed if a krimp isn't right it will slip. I always listen for that clicking sound when I crimp them, then I pull them enough to see if they will slip. The gemini booms are decent to be fair I have used them myself

Wolf spods are much better than spombs. an actual spod is better than a spomb even with spod spill 😂

Just finished this one, nice story and some blooming nice big carps.

I wouldn't bother with a cheap boat tbh, I bought one off Ali express, for similar money it was terrible, wouldn't go straight or open when you wanted it too, then I bought an actor plus and while it was a lot better to use, I found I was getting bogged down by tech, I had a deeper attached and in the end I felt like I was taking hours to get my rods out, I've sold it now and just use a good old fashioned spod rod, distance sticks with a lead, x spod, catapult or throwing stick, and I enjoy my fishing more again. Don't get me wrong there are times when it would be a godsend, but keeping it simple, gives me more time to focus on the important stuff like chilling out and looking at the water.
