  1. I still haven't found the time to go through it once yet 😭 I need to respool all my lines and everything, I have just bought a spooler and d spool drill attachment, the thought of another manual despool was too much, I think that may be why I have been putting it off 😂
  2. 0 No i know but from my understanding changing the wheel is still the only way to adjust the sensitivity? IE 4 magnet to 2 magnet would make it less sensitive
  3. Is that the thing to stop false beeps? Doesn't seem like it's a adjustable though does it?
  4. You could've put bog roll in the speakers if you could find some 😁
  5. I think people should just stay at home and stop trying to beat the system, it's the others who suffer, my dad is going in for a an op as he has bowel cancer tomorrow, I'm scared that even though he is isolated at present he can't isolate himself against idiots who take it upon themselves to break the rules for whatever petty reason they can find, these people then go around infecting others who then infect others and others and others, it's just a few weeks off, just do what you can to stop the spread it will save lives
  6. From what I've just read the sensitivity comes from the magnet rollers and is only adjustable by changing that I think the mk3 seems to come with a 4 magnet roller which may be upgraded from previous ones Settings look like on, silent or off but it has connection to the reciever I may be wrong but that's what I could glean from the blurb I read
  7. That's what I thought the short ones for the singles are 13cm shouldnt need much persuading to get those in the ground, so next rod shot will be straight 😁
  8. That's what a few reviews said, but I ordered one anyway should be fine for me I think I'm only using short sticks
  9. Is that also a matrix piledriver ? Is that a good piece of kit?
  10. Wouldn't that send you mad though constantly checking they were still level, at least with a spirit level you could lock In the car or something 😏
  11. That's kind of why I thought a marker may leave more of a smell if they can smell your fingers and stuff 👍 But that is good to know they wouldn't 😁
  12. The only thing that puts me off using a permanent marker is that I wonder if they can sense the smell of them? I don't know that it would matter but it's just something I've thought about 🤔
  13. 😁 Thing is you have to look at them a lot while your fishing, and it just eats away until you get annoyed that it's not level, I actually got annoyed just as darkness was descending, I had started recasting them all and it just lolloped to the right so I had to sort it out and rechuck them all as I felt I may have moved them a bit, then in the morning when I got the take they moved again 😫 Is a spirit level going too far or is this an item that can be used but just not talked about 😅
  14. Just thought I would add a couple more pics from my last trip, now everytime I see that last pic and a lot of my rod shots I get so annoyed with the wonkyness 🙄 I think I may have to get an auger of some description, I keep hearing Iain Macmillan saying "you won't catch sh1* if your rods aren't level" 😁 Even the tension poles look a bit wonky 😭 It never used to worry me but it is definately becoming an issue that needs addressing 😬
  15. I have some gravel pb jelly wire and I also think it's a bit light coloured but would probably still use it Didnt Rob Hughes do an underwater video about the colour of the bottom? I seem to remember watching something
  16. I think the main thing I like is for braid not to be a solid colour that way it should blend in better, unless it looks blatent in the margins I wouldn't worry I tested the esp camo sink link in the margins the other day dissapeared completely, I am colour blind though 😁😁😁
  17. If you are still planning on fishing at st Ives, you will find the bivvy tramps books interesting if you haven't read them already 👍
  18. Jamie Clossick wrote one of his I think,
  19. There are other ways of making a similar set up in black on the cheap I think 👍 bare with me I'll do some research
  20. Any old black buzz bars would do if you have any? Then all you need is the threaded uprights and a couple of small banksticks possibly available in black
  21. I may be able to grit blast them at work which might be easier, dunno if I want to paint them black though, not when you can buy black singles it would need to be different 😬😁😉 I can feel a project coming on 😁
  22. Kind of slight variation on the Std ones you can get,as I am using a goalpost front bar and a narrow buzz bar rear and other bits I had, the quality isn't all that I don't think really needs a proper tap and die cutter set running over them to make them better, the threads are a bit poo on them. Probably good 10 ten yarders but I just know they will annoy me 😁
  23. My stainless bits arrived yesterday while I remembered how stinky winky the quality is just set them up in tip run required corner, I don't think I will like them for long as my buzz bar bag now weighs more than my bed 😁 but quite happy with the rake on the set up and they seemed sturdy enough time will tell but will probably end up wanting to buy some quality items eventually 😅
  24. Cheers guys I think I've gone off the idea of the alarms today now 😂 I did read a lot of good ones about the S9 though so maybe they are a little better, but I may just stick with the soniks they haven't let me down yet
