Thanks Still tropamino at the moment. I've just been playing with the liquids, eggs and flavours etc to get it how I want it. I've been on Copilot quite a lot and have made a load of recipes from scratch on there . It's been good fun but as of yet I haven't tried making any other than my glycerin liquid. Next thing I want to do is scale up production to make more quicker. I need a compressor for the gs night hawk I got with my boilie roller and I'm thinking about getting a paddle mixer so I can mix higher quantities at once. I have bought some egg albumen now, so hopefully all my hookbaits will be better, they don't have to last forever as I rarely leave one out more than 24 hours, just need some more time and to get my garage mixing ready. I've got enough bait for my next trip though so I am alright for now 👍

Yes hopefully, very happy with the basemix that rolls well, smells good and seems like it should be a decent bait. Pretty much think I have the recipe bang on now, For some reason I've struggled more with hookbaits but I think i just needed to add some egg albumen to firm them up a bit, I threw a load out but pretty happy with the latest ones now they are being glugged. Just need to start catching for confidence but enjoying the ride so far.

Permission granted 😂

I would leave them in the garage will be fine in these temps, not worth the risk. 😂

I may have got rumbled for my extra sections of bushwhacker, luckily the first one got through customs without being scanned.

I've made some hard hookers today and some sinking wafters, or light bottom baits as I prefer to call them. I then made a glycerin based bait spray, that is too viscous to spray 😂 But I've given my hookbaits a coating, and they now smell amazing. And will hopefully harden more and become crayfish resistant.

And then I got another £25 off voucher so bought 5 extensions for £55, I'm now up to 6 wraps capability. Can't wait for next week now.

If it helps I got a good deal by going on ebay, total fishing tackle, got a £25 off voucher £169 rather than £194.99

Today I lashed out and bought a Nash Bushwhacker.

I have shown you the only party that wants to fix this issue. It's up to you whether you want to keep having sewage dumped in rivers now. I'm not getting into another debate about politics. We also can't afford not too.

They are the only ones who offer the solution you wanted ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

It does need renationalising. We should own our own utilities.

There is only one political party that want to renationalise our water. To me it's simple people either want waste dumped in their rivers and to have our assets owned by billionaires or they don't. I think if we all stopped paying our rod licence the present government and most other parties would just ban fishing as a consequence sadly.

Do you think I'll be able to hit 20 wraps with it? I mean 12ft ones btw.

The amount of birds nests I have created with spod braid when rushing to get the rods out, probably a good shout,

Having previously used the sweat bands before a session it does make a slight difference, it was nice to have pre soaked line as I do find it makes line smoother and better to cast with and perhaps slightly less springy. But yes once it's been out for a while it is essentially the same. I always pre soak my line before I put it on tbh just seems to make it go on the spool better maybe I'll dig the old sweatbands out for the big one 😱

If you don't soak your line Vs once it's been in the water for a while it just seems to cast better, wrap better and sink better once it's wet. I saw those things at the Essex carp show, good idea but not for me at that price, they were pricey I thought. I did use some sweatbands for a while that I would soak but I left them in the car or somewhere once and didn't bother doing them again.

I think you could do some good stuff with those crimped edges, put a tomato in it and you could use it as a hot water bottle, because it would be too hot to eat for 6 hours like the old brevilles.

Anyone got one of these yet? Looks good for making tasty snacks? https://www.carpscene.co.uk/new-arrivals/ridgemonkey-crimpanzee-toaster-pan.html

No but I did get a delivery from AA Baits, wafter mix today, need to make a batch with egg albumen because they are too soft without. Also got some glycerin to make a hookbait soak if that helps 😂 Then I am going to do a special process to the hookbaits shhhh it's still a secret.

Well done @commonly great result. Really pleased for you.

I don't think you did don't worry.

It censored the thing you use to open a door(not handle) 😂

Knee, (censored) and nipple were the correct terms he used 😂 I like a fathom, half a fathom or even fathom and a half length zigs

Good luck, black seem to work well but keep moving them and changing the depth, until you hopefully find them.
