Welcome to my world, had concussion twice last year smashing the back of my head on the car door frame whilst loading the kit. Given myself a perforated ear drum doing it on the last occasion. Spend 3 days on the bank wondering why I felt funny 🙃👎
Now I know why old men wear flat caps. Perhaps it's that time already.

Twice! 🙄
If it helps I clean shaved my head on Sunday I am nearly on double digit times I've banged it and it's only midweek.

I bought a second hand 12ft daiwa super spod rod the other week. I used it for the first time this weekend. Was nice to go back to an anti frap tip again. That was really bugging me on my old chub spod rod. Seems a nice sturdy beast too 17 wraps seemed like a flick. Very happy with that purchase for £45.

Hi Everyone
Has anyone had any experience using DNA Baits please ? .
Ta .
I bought 20kg of S7 and failed to catch anything but 3 tench from St Ives, might have been out my depth at the time though. So possibly not a fair reflection. Their hookbaits never seemed to set the world on fire for me either though. But might again be me.

obviously not mate 👍
I did suggest Sticky baits, as for Byran Jarret. read my post, not my best mate at all 😂
As for calling someone a liar... did you actually read the comments on the website about not using coloured hookbaits?
Believe what you want?
Best wrap this up now, don't want to turn it into an arguement, anyone can see what is on the website, bit of an obvious U turn
Yes I read the comments, I still don't get why you don't like a product you've never used. It seems personal rather than logical.
Sticky hookbaits are alright but I wouldn't say they are head and shoulders above anything else out there.

Hi Yonny,
Where can I buy size 2 hooks for stiff rigs? I couldn't find any online. The closest I've got is a Korda wide gape in a 2.
I tied up a rig with the size 2 wide gape and a 16mm cork ball hookbait. I had to steam it because of the line exiting angle. It does look lethal.
I tied up a hinge using a wide gape the other day, I agree it would work, you just need to have a straighter curve on the chod section. But I thought they look good tbh.

I so wish a mate hadn't said about SHB as a Xmas pressie.... wouldn't have even thought about them before 😂
However, as you suggested, from the website.
Quote:
"We are often asked why our hook baits do not come in bright colours, as that is what people generally associate with a pop up. A bright colour may provoke a response from twenty feet, we would far rather provoke a response from 200 yards through a carp’s amazing sense of taste. "
Err....
I see all, but one are now in bright colours, seriously, who do you believe? 👍
Shame people selling stuff on line actually checked stuff on their web sites 😂
The colour doesn't affect the process which is what you were questioning originally though. I guess it makes them more saleable as most pop ups are bright. I take it you have read the part about the process though?
Also you are now calling them liars, even though you don't really care. 😂
31 minutes ago, OldBoy said:tbh, mate, none, so many out there, wouldn't have any idea? ..... If anyone is interested I have a few tubs of Sticky baits pop ups that I use very rarely and they still work
So you can't recommend any but having not tried them you are keen to slate specialized hook baits.
Also you spelt your best mates name wrong It's Bryan Jarrett. 😉

Eventually I managed to get a great deal 2nd hand bundle of 5 atts-silent-alarms, sold 2 of the alarms on with the old receiver ...AND for myself bought the New Deluxe Receiver...must say I LOVE 'em they are supper ...imo BEST BUZZERS ever!
got a question, 1 of my alarms is tricky to replace the battery, in other words the back cover does NOT come away from the alarm unit, like the other 2 - does this mean this was an early original alarm? thanks for any info!
Might just mean the seal isn't as good or not fitted correctly or needs replacing. or maybe it needs a good clean is it an underlit or the side led type?
The deluxe receiver is the best upgrade you can make tbh.

Hi,
Does anybody use a size 8 swivel instead of putty and a size 11 swivel for their hinge rigs?
I can balance mine perfectly with a size 8 Korda PTFE ring swivel (cutting the ring off with crimp tool) and an ESP large balance bead.
I would like to know if anyone else has had success using it set it up like this or something similar using different components?
Thanks
Looks good dude, you could also use a sz11 but with a korda balancing weight (the ones that sheath the swivel) but it will work just fine as it is.

With repect mate, from another forum I dip into, this bloke not actually shared anything about a 3 week process? Maybe you know better and would share?
Anyway. guess the guy will have made loads of dosh from his well documented elsewhere exploits on gambling winnings 😀
Think I will dip out of this thread now, probably going to be a lot of his 'fan boys' his phrase defending the 'company', coming on here if they even know it exists?
Just for others, don't be taken in by a lot of bullsh*t about bait, been going on for sooooo many years.... just do your own thing and enjoy being out on the bank 👍
So what companies pop ups would you recommend?

It's written on the website.

Actually mate if you are referring to SHB, I would never buy any, and wouldn't from any of the new 'companies' with hookbaits that seem to be on line now.
I am not opposed to SHB, tbh couldn't give a t*ss, just feel that so many anglers are buying a pot of hookbaits that, imo, are so overpriced, just trying to put another point of view that's all 👍
I really don't follow your logic then, you are disagreeing with people purely about the cost. When you read the process they go through it doesn't seem that expensive to me, especially when you are comparing it to a tub of off the shelf pop ups that need a bait spray, glug or whatever to make them standout ?
Some pop ups are overpriced I agree but these actually go through a 3 week process other than just rolling and boiling.

I assume we're still talking about these special baits at 20 quid a pop.
What I don't understand is were paying for a curing process with active enzymes/ingredients? Surely the active elements only last a short period then it's just a normal bait? never understood this part.
That's a can of worms Kev, I'm sure someone will be able to assist but I used Co pilot to try and understand bio active ingredients a bit better. Still don't properly but this is something I learned which may help 😱 😂

I fish a very snaggy venue that has all manor of junk on the bottom, so after good advice i went onto Hydro tuff and never looked back, does just what it claims
Yeah it's good stuff I've used it before, I've also used katran though and just fancied giving the heavy stuff a go. I remembered how cool it looked on my reels 😱 😂
-
I've been buying some bits for the upcoming year.
12 cans of ngt bargain gas
28lb katran wild carp camo line
And I have had to remodel the spinner rig as some key parts have become less easily sourced.
So I've been on JPrecision and ordered some gape x hooks and some different kickers and bait screws and bits to play with. I have used kranks before and seem to remember them giving decent hook holds. I looked at alternative rigs even made a nice soft hinge rig , but it all seems too much faff 😱

Actually mate, sorry to disappoint you on prices, my fishing mate at the time was a best mate of Brian Jarret (ex Hinders Bait when in a glorfied shed), so pop ups and glugs at mates rates 😀
Anyway, the pop ups were probably the cheapest avaiable back in day, and glug was probably a Gycerine based 'flavour' who knows?
Deff in those days, nowhere anything like rip of prices now.....
To pre-empt, any replies, YES, they were a 'wonder bait' for me and others at the time,,,, were they 'double or triple or whatever cured' of course not 😂
Believe what you want, it's still the ability I had at the time to be on a venue to study fish movements etc and shared knowledge that caught me a few lovely fish.....
Oh best not mention Chum Mixers before flying rats invaded.... not sure how much that bait cost!!
So am I right in thinking you bought some, didn't catch anything and then blamed the bait?
I don't see why you are so opposed to SHB.

Not sure it would all fit in the garage tbh.
