Mainlines & Floater Lines
elmoputney replied to crusian's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
If you have no issue with hydrotuff, I would stick with it. -
What would you put in your korda kontainer?
elmoputney replied to elmoputney's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
Thanks guys. nick, I'm not trying to make you buy one don't worry π this is a hypothetical question,I'm just interested in what people would take if they had 4 kontainer sections, so which four bait options would you take to make the best spod mix you would take anywhere? You can also carry hookbaits, bag mixes, liquids etc so you don't need to worry about those Eg Boilies Chops Pellets Garlic Maize Would be something I could take anywhere confidently. -

Yeah I've wanted one for ages, it's going to be good to have options whilst lightening the load. Guys thanks for replying, I think you are kind of missing the point of this question a little bit, I don't want to know what you actually do. But what you would do with the 4 sections of the kontainer. What would you take in those 4 sections to make essentially your chosen bait mix. -

Yeah it's a good idea, I still think there will be the odd occasion for a big bucket of particles. But for a quick session you can still make a decent fresh mix and not need loads of buckets. -
Right 4 sections 1 bucket for a session, what goes in your bucket? Mine Boilies Matching pellets or pellet mix Chops and crumb (cold) or more boilies Sweetcorn/maize/tigers

Bivvy Heating - staying warm
elmoputney replied to Tubbytom's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I've got some prologic salopettes they are pretty warm and comfortable -

Use alternate hookbaits, you must have some kicking about π

Just thought the old school peeps might like their own vintage tackle section.

Ridgemonkey crushas are now so last season, you will be spending Β£70 on essentially what looks like a coffee grinder soon. Omc B8M8

Ridgemonkey choppas are also the best way to make lots of chops with minimal effort.

Yes it will, great bit of kit,

I'm getting Wilson with tailwalking pike vibes.

Questions from a new angler
elmoputney replied to Tubbytom's topic in New to Carp.com, New to Carp Fishing
If I didn't need too I wouldn't spomb, catapult wins everytime. My rule of thumb for should I recast or not is just trust my gut, if I feel I should have had a bite or have doubts I rechuck it, I've had many quick bites from a recast to the same spot for it to worry me these days. You need to feel confident and if you think your rig isn't working for whatever reason best to check. I don't have confidence in plastic baits, which goes back to confidence. I would go where I think they were and fish for liners. Also somewhere I could see a lot of water so I can look for signs. Just enjoy it and don't worry if you don't catch, it's the blanks that make the captures more worthwhile. -
Put it in your sleeping bag, just the gas not the stove it will warm it up a bit.
-
Now you mention it I can see some of the trees underwater, I was quite perplexed by it lol, but it does look pretty cool, good luck.
-
Why is that there, Is the question I want to ask? Seems such a weird thing to build right out into the middle of the lake, looks fun though good luck π
-
Yeah up there with Tels Xmas videos for me π I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves,it was ahead of its time.
-
That just reminded me of this video for some reason π
-
I'm blooming cold just standing at the smoking shelter at work. Hope you catch one, good luck. I'm going in to get warm.

I have a greys 7ft stalker rod it's pretty decent tbh my daughter uses it mainly though, if you want a cheap, cheap one the ngt profiler ones are about as good as any of the cheaper ones, I had some but sold them, I find short rods feel a bit weird tbh.
-
You can never have enough, They are always dirty when you need them, self cleaning buckets should be a thing. The ridgemonkey ones are also good, i wouldn't mind the complete set of those alsoπ I've also got the tracker one with the airflow draining system. I think I have a bucket and hookbait problem.
-
I just like taking loads of bits of bait would be good to just take it all in one bucket Crumb/chops Boilies Pellets Hemp or whatever particle I want to use that day, Then I can just mix it in the big bucket and spod as much as I mix.

I've just done it Korda Kontainer bucket and ridgemonkey DLX brew set. 2 things I've kinda wanted for a while and not wanted to pay full price for π¬ Fishing outlet had them both on a deal and with an extra 10% off. They will both make me more streamlined and weight efficient π
