  1. Look after your feet mate, they do a lot of work keeping you on the road, you wouldn't drive a car with bald tyres, keep that for your head πŸ˜‚
  2. Talking of socks can anyone beat my Christmas haul 22 pairs, πŸ™„πŸ˜‚πŸ€ΆπŸŽ„ I smashed it this sockmas.
  3. Good tip my Merino ones seem to have shrunk a bit in the wash
  4. I really enjoyed the book version just felt that fell a little short of the original story tbh.
  5. It was alright, kind of agree though, been watching dave lanes Gardner one also, I won't post it due to all the swearing it contains. They've basically lifted the catch reports from his patreon channel, and left in loads of effing and jeffing. Which to me isn't what I think a brand should be including in a Christmas special. Don't get me wrong I love laneys vids and subscribe to his patreon, but Gardner shouldn't be using eff and Jeff footage like that.
  6. Alpaca my bags πŸ˜‚ Merino are good, if you go in B and M they also do some socks which are pretty great, called hot feet or something they are labelled work socks, really thick and about a fiver a pair.
  7. Hydrotuff won't let you down. It's the only line strong enough to keep my button attached to my trousers after xmas dinner πŸ˜‚πŸ’ͺ
  8. Isn't a litre about the same as a kilo volume wise?
  9. Blank n white rod shot.
  10. Probably the sensible ones do I stupidly used the buoys on the rope not gonna help in the dark πŸ˜‚
  11. Nah its a pretty chilly one tbh but yeah does look good, nothing doing yet though. I did spend some extra time levelling my rods since that photo, they look perfect now πŸ‘Œ Also that dude won't catch he's got a massive spot light on the top of his bivvy, nods r us
  12. Well done Kev, great effort
  13. Thanks, I hope so I may have overdone the baiting 6 spombs of 12mmers πŸ˜‚
  14. Were having a go tonight, rods are on the old dance floor, new bait deployed with 2 rods on spinners with match the hatch pop ups and a single pineapple on a hinge, a few have been out recently (I photographed 2 earlier for someone) I'm as close as i can be without sheeping him up, come on the carps do some eating.
  15. Probably not nowadays,Cheap shimanos are pony, get some okuma Inc solid dependable and have a 5yr warranty.
  16. They do a 12.5" and a 15" but I think they look a bit cheap I did have a look at some in a shop a while ago.
  17. Yeah I've been looking for a while lol, that's the matrix ones in stainless I found, i have an 11.5" fixed rear and an adjustable 11" matrix black out, front bar, I bought the adjustable because the original back rest was too snug (9.5") Quite like the look of the dymag ones
  18. Yeah I would prime it first otherwise It would just flake off, it just seems a bit wrong to decide to buy something that will need painting, or I could try and remind myself it won't catch me anymore fish πŸ˜‚
  19. I'm looking at 14" rear and 16" fronts at the moment. I can only get them in stainless though, and can't decide if I should get some and paint them, not sure how stainless would look with black banksticks.
  20. I keep thinking I want some really wide goalposts. I'm the anticarpy πŸ‘Ή
  21. Bite lights for my spod /marker float , I think this will be brilliant for night spombing and sneaky baiting https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1C5uMRH126/ and some pva bag swivels
  22. Good to know Vitalin is making a come back, I am genuinely interested in this shop though, on paper they have some great products would be interested to know if they are as decent as they sound.
  23. I was more interested in the pellets/particles tbh, I get my boilies from a trusted source, they do a molassed mix of flakes and wheat and stuff which looks interesting.
  24. Yep I guess it would get boring if you always caught what you wanted, at least you caught though well done.
