  1. It makes a well presented pop up rig though
  2. That'll do nicely cheers Yonny, wish I tried that earlier, perfect for bag fishing and nice and simple Got 50 size 4 curves on order should be enough to start with 😂
  3. Does look perfect tbh nice and simple thanks 👍
  4. Yep for Solid bags, I haven't really looked at the KD rig will have a play and see what comes out Cheers
  5. Now poses the question, I want to use a smaller non trig Hammer hook for my pva wafter set up, will a curve type be the one Part of me thinks keep it simple as these rigs won't be in the water long and also need to be cost effective (bank tackle curves??? Sharpened, ) Knotless knot with silicone and a tungsten kicker Or curve with a d rig kicker with micro swivel Both seem to work OK I think in my recent tests but I think the d rig will be slightly harder for the carp to eject? Anyone else have any thoughts on this set up?
  6. Did anyone watch daves lanes monster particle 2nd vlog yet? There was quite a good feature about Mono stretch vs braid, I wish braid wasn't banned on my lake 😞 I use hydrotuff 15lb it's one of the best for being stronger than rated on the tackle box tests, it's pretty bulletproof, seems to sink OK, great for snaggy waters I also have the 12lb for my spare spools if I need to put my big boy pants on to cast 🤠 I would check it periodically and maybe strip a few rod lengths off every few sessions but not once did this line cause any issues, it went through quite a lot of weed and stuff last year too,
  7. Don't suppose anyone happens to have some d rig kickers and a size 4 curve shank type hook do they? 😁 I wouldn't mind seeing how they look together if you have them in stock 😏 Thanks Elmo
  8. John Wayne Harry 🤠🤠🤠🤠
  9. Who's John Harry?????? 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
  10. I bet wouldn't have minded being a punk, bit before my time though 😉 I do like some of the music though, still sounds good today
  11. I put some hyper sensor on my baitrunner didn't really like it, I thought korda carp line was quite a good budget line, but I would rather spend a bit more on line and have found I get on really well with gardner hydrotuff
  12. Didn't Punks use it to keep the Mohicans at full mast?
  13. Nah one of the points of making it harder is that most people won't bother 👍 Also I've become quite attached to it of late, and have been doing well, my mix stinks to high heaven and seems to attract them so I'm happy enough it seems to be progressing in the right direction But Thanks for the input
  14. How often do you change your lines to give it hard use 😲😁
  15. I love em, sharp and great hook holds too, got full confidence in them now,
  16. I used to work with the originator of DT baits many years ago Dave Thorpe, he no longer had anything to do with the company for some reason though, and seemed to just leave carp fishing which was a shame as he was a great guy, very knowledgeable
  17. You could probably make some boilies with it too, would bind well enough
  18. Mega fish and Great write up again, can't wait for the next Installment 👍
  19. I found medium for 6, large for 4 Size 5 I think Was either 😁 Only thing I find annoying about the d rig bits is the fact it's not easy to get a swivel or bait screw over the top, if you spot a large ring bait screw I would be interested
  20. There are some exclusive lakes that can be booked in the UK might be worth looking into one of those
  21. Could convert to a bike trailer quite easily I would think, looks great though,

  23. British aqua feeds do a designated colour pop up mix and wafter mix too, I should think they are the same mix dna bait use for there's
