That is the key, nowadays if I blank it's because of location, I know everything else will work.

I got into heat treating frozen boilies for a bit, straight into a bucket from the freezer, tip a couple of cups of recently boiled water on them and some hydro liquids and give em a good shake, as they defrost they soak in the liquids leaving you with a nice soft washed out looking bait full of sexy liquids, I found these could help with getting quicker bites, Haven't bothered since switching to shelf life though, maybe I should still 🤔

I think I've got an anker too, seems to do a few charges tbh, I bought an honor phone recently to replace a broken one battery lasts me 2 days and I use it pretty heavily, im still amaze by that because I've never had one that lasts over a day 😳 Ridgemonkey lights seem to last a while too between charges. Get one of the newer anker ones with usb C fast charging abilities they will charge your phone much faster.

Thanks Kev still buzzing from it, bit rude not to share the other side when it looks like this 😍

Just get one that blows bubbles (the pipe not the apprentice that would be a bit wacko jacko😏 ) 😂

Best take the recycling bin with you then 😂

Just take a wheelie bin mate could double as a Bait bucket or ice bath 😂

They must have weighed about half a kilo with lead 😱, I take it you weren't casting far?

WOW that's a clonker well done 😍

Ngt they popped up on amazon and I just thought they would be useful 😜

Good ole fashioned match the hatch actually, I went with a white choc orange, match the hatch and a yellow tutti as my opening gambit, so far this year I've caught on matching and choc orange.

I doubt that somehow korda kaizens have come out with a 4lb tc rod, could cast one hell of a stringer with that 😱

Throwing stick target practice?

If you want to make them shorter have a look at the korda chod crimps.

Good luck

I'm on borrowed time but I'm only just having breakfast and it is nearly my birthday so a couple more hours at least I think 😂

Decided to try and fish one of the new lakes on the complex this year, first time out had a walk round and found the motherload of the fish all tucked away and chilling had to barrow through a swamp and lots of flooded pathways but when my rod ripped off this morning I knew it was worth it, what I realised pretty quickly though was it felt pretty heavy, when I saw it I knew it was quite heavy, I chucked my other rod in the reeds and made sure I wasn't going to lose it by playing it as delicately as I could, I needn't have worried it was nailed on the ever faithful spinner rig, as I sit here contemplating what just happened I've realised I still haven't had a proper cuppa yet today so kettle on and chill time. 31lb not bad for a first night on a new lake 😊

Some of my tackle is still muddy from that adventure 😳

Just doused this on my boilies, splash of brut and I'll be right on the dance floor later.

Fluoro or semi stiff should be fine, are you using an anti tangle sleeve? They should kick out fine tbh.

Simplest solution for me would be a magic twig 🤣 only kidding If you don't want to use a lead clip (I prefer these in a boat) . You could try using some silicone tubing (2mm seems to ring a bell as the right size ) between the lead and the bead that should help with your quandary as it will act like a buffer.

I still really like proper jobs, I have loads of pots of pop ups with different liquids and coatings, goos, powders, liquids on them. Match the hatch soaked in matching bait spray and coated with stick mix, proper job KLS unsullied,and now innovates choc orange soaked in minamino are the three I start with, I know they all work 😳 I've tried loads of different ones with wondergredients like goo and I'm yet to be convinced they work any better, I think as others have said, they still need to be in the right place.

If you are getting tangled by the bream you want to use a stiffish hooklink that resets I would say. Have you thought about using PVA stringers? 😉

I got one from a future reform voter in Surrey, it was addressed to Richard Tice saying eff me here because things aren't bad enough already?
