Probably 25 wraps or so opportune time. Yeah you are all right it's probably not a good idea and I should probably just stick to using a braid as I use mine as a marker rod too 😂 I found the gardner spod braid better than the one I am using now. Anyone found a really good one that doesn't get too many wind knots. Thanks guys

Anyone do this? I've been getting bored of wind knots in braid lately and was thinking I might try some mono with a shock leader, Thoughts please?

I think the thing to do before propolis is some kind of antisceptic spray then prop it to stop it getting infected but like you say, people just use propolis as a one stop shop, I just tend to use the gardner stuff. I don't think you are wrong though, I've never seen them go to the quacks after spawning. Not sure if they even have a GUM clinic 😅

You would somehow manage to get yourself trapped In it 😅 I've ordered a 6 pack off amazon coming today, looking forward to a mouse and bug free summer 😅

Just remember to not use a full bottle in the freezer or it will split when you freeze it 😏🙄😳 I did that with one of those metal water bottles it really tore it a new one. 😱

I use an NGT cool bag ridgemonkey and cutlery etc front pocket, gas and stove, side pocket, kettle other side pocket, main compartment full of donuts, biscuits and a dinner of sorts 😂 Brilliant bag for the money tbh, I've had others but ngt is perfect for what it does.

These sound quite good I also get false widows as well as mice trying to live in my garage and house.

Nah baiting pole would be more stealthy 😂

The OG BC from ITV 😂 Worm zig in its face, Surely irresistable?

I've been watching this instagram short and this comedian does post match interviews for things like dates and Christmas board games, it makes me chuckle so I thought I would do a fishing one 😂

Will do next time thanks for the tips. I think it's been a good learning curve this weekend. I made some mistakes but got the result, will regroup and be ready to go again next time,its a long season just got to kick on now and take the positives, and hopefully we can be there or there abouts at the end of the season 😂

Bought some more zig stuff today Atomic zig bugs and kickers red and black Thinking anglers barrels brown and black and some more size 8 hooks Some 12lb zig line I think I've caught the zig bug (get it)

Ha ha I somehow accidently turned vibration on this weekend I had to Google how to turn it off was doing my head in 😂 Nah small and simple love em, I get tempted by snag backs from time to time but haven't yet.

I had some optonics, they always use to end up tilting to one side. I've seen the new atts with speaker they look awesome and sound great too. Come with snag backs as standard they look mint.

Thanks, the reason I doubted myself was that I had dismissed them as single bleeps and not even bothered checking them for clues tbh, which is something I should have done in hindsight, it's all a learning curve still and good that I am learning, next time I will keep the tips out the water and will be looking for the clues. You might notice the line pick up before the alarm fishing slack too, I've hit into fish before I've even had a bleep before watching the line, it's a good way to spot what's going in the swim. I love short range fishing watching for any little sign, nothing beats it tbh,Good luck .

Good luck, The swans and ducks seem a lot more active than the fish at the moment, I still think they are chasing warmth.

Yeah it seems very safe, worst case scenario, you leave a rig in a fishes mouth, I was impressed when I saw it.

I once taught the owner of that golf club how to hit a ball 😂 they had an open day and I went with the in laws, had 3 pints in the bar then we all went to the driving range, I was hitting the balls miles with a driving iron (that I chose because I had never used one) and the owner and the bro in law couldn't get close 😂 I was on fire that day, couldn't beat the satisfaction level from that day, so have never played anything other than crazy golf since 😂 I am not claiming I was good BTW, I wasn't but he was terrible 👍

With 2 magnet rollers? I do much prefer the 4 mags tbh, 6 would be overkill for normal fishing I think. But might be useful if max sensitivity is required, I think it's too easy to just write a single bleep off as an anomaly, whereas 2 bleeps would make you notice, When I was at the Essex show I got shown the PB Products hit n run lead clips, I haven't tried them yet but they kind of act like a running rig, the fish can't use the weight of the lead to discharge the hook, quite different and I am an easy sale so naturally I bought some 😅

As alarms I love them tbh simple and great, not sure how much they will change the sensitivity as the 4 mag roller is every 0.5cm and 6 is 0.33cm so essentially the 6 mag roller is 17mm more sensitive. I think a lot of it is me adjusting to check out every single bleep when zig fishing as in hindsight I feel I may have missed a few chances. I also had my rod tips underwater which won't help me see what's going on, learning all the time thanks OldBoy

OK cool let us know what you find out, I have an in law up that way, might be a way of getting an extra fishing trip in 😂

I have used the 2 and 4 (always use now) has anyone used the 6 magnet roller wheels, I had a couple of single bleeps on my zig rods that I am starting to think may have been bites in hindsight as I was fishing bow string tight tines, was thinking 6 might be better for zig fishing can anyone tell me if they noticed much difference between 4 and 6 please?

Great to get them into fishing, my daughter was with me when I caught this one, fortunately it didn't provoke a strong desire to catch one herself 😂 but it's good to get them into it and outdoors so if that's what it takes, good luck.

Hi mate welcome to the forum, there is a website on Google, nick has linked it, might be worth going to have a look if you are not too far away, sometimes websites stay open even if the place has closed, best to find out with your own eyes if you can.

Fair enough thanks for sharing. Have you looked at proper job pop ups, if I could only use one it would be these tbh. KLS in washed out pink a personal favourite,but tbh on their day they all work. I have tried and own lots of pop ups(I have a bit of a problem😂) and now the only ones I take are proper jobs and innovate bait.
