Of course I assumed that went without saying, obviously you use what's best for the situation.

Love watching Myles, he has a real style to his angling, always thinking and working it out and gets the job done,A great watch.

I use Airbombs or x spods as long as you hit the clip right they are both pretty stealthy compared to a spomb. I do use a pult or throwing stick also though if I just want to bait some boilies. Everything has advantages and disadvantages though. I mean you can just fish singles but most of the time "you gotta get the bait out somehow"

My boilies pre soaking in smart combo

I am a lot more fussy these days,with my casting close enough isnt good enough, I will take more casts to get it spot on if I need too, I'll recast onto fizzers and will recast at night if something is bothering me,I've learnt I can't relax unless it's perfect, take the other week as an example, my first take went through all my lines, just into darkness, I had to redo them all, but 3 rods went out back onto the spots perfectly in darkness and I got a take on the distance rod first light, that had taken a couple of casts but hit the clip and got the drop I needed, I know I wouldn't have slept if it wasn't bang on. After the first light bite I got 2 rods on the long spot, spombed it up and 2 hours later got a take on the extra rod I had put out there. I think a lot of the reason I don't mind spombing is because of my spod mix, washed out boilies flaked maize and pellets, some stodgy, some fresh into the mix, a good helping of lake water, smart liquid and squid brand fish sauce makes a hell of a cloud and not loads of actual big food. I have run out of smart liquid now so might sub it out cos it's stupid expensive but it has worked pretty well. and the boilies are washed out but actractively primed for them to eat,

Phwooar nice collection.

I used to do try and avoid casting and still would mainly at first light, but if something is niggling at me that it isn't right, I will now just recast, and I'll spomb at first light too if I need too quite happily, I quite like knowing my spot is bang on and freshly primed for the morning bite time.

That one is a beaut.

Cracking fish well done Kev.

You won't regret that purchase, great alarms

Yeah I looked at some other reels it's comparable to other loads more expensive reels from shimano and daiwa on weight and if it performs better than the 8k it would be a great reel.

The obsidians are a 12000 size so I think they are bigger than the 8k. They do look amazing though and a lot lighter than the 8k weighing in at a mere 520g. @B B is a user of the Inc6000 I believe.

Okuma Reels mate = trendsetter 👍😎

Yeah it seems pretty decent for the money tbh.

I havent done it yet, don't worry.
