Any reviews on trent baits freshwater shrimp
elmoputney replied to Carp123_0's topic in UK Bait and Bait Making
You gotta go before the next baby comes that second one is a game changer, and that will probably add another 4 or 5 years at least π Funnily enough I've been trying to persuade the misses to do a French trip as a family,she doesn't seem that keen tbh but she did say would you like to do it by yourself the other day, which I may have dismissed a little too quickly in hindsight π -

I may have found a way to go fishing, I did a risky Strategy where I broached the subject early,she ummed and ahhed a bit, and then later that day when I started prepping rigs I told her I had booked it, waited till midweek and said can I go fishing then? And she said I thought you had booked it? I replied I wouldn't book it without making sure you didn't mind first π Seems to have worked anyway π -
That's carp gold right there, the last bite I had was over some mole muck, I have access to plenty though π

I dont think my tackle box is that tidy but that's giving me the heebie jeebies nick π¬π¬π¬π± I've decided I can't really control all aspects of my life, but if I can get and keep my tackle organised I will be happy π -

Thanks all been good to see how you organise it all, I think I may have sussed it π Ngt XPR Rucksack, Slightly bigger ngt dynamic tackle box will fit in front pocket and should take most bits I think, 2 lead bags for accessories I don't have a place for and a few leads plus whatever else I can find a use for Ngt brew kit bag for camera and bits to go in Rucksack, Glug pot bag as well for hookbaits needles and bait based toot or I may use that as an accessory bag I will get all that in the Rucksack plus clothes and any other bits Then I should be left with food bag, bivvy, rod bag, unhooking mat, bed bag, bait bucket, barrow, I know it's not all that carpy to have loads of ngt stuff but for me Its good and cheap and tbh it's stuff that isn't that important to me really, it's only luggage isn't it,π³ but if it helps me be organised it's done its job I've seen the Rucksack and it's pretty solid tbh and should be a step up and be a comfortable haul to the swim, and with a lighter barrow too π -

Wow that is compact, looks like 10%of my load π I will try and have a restructure I think I must be taking loads of bits I. Not really using π€ -
I've been reckless lately I left my retro baits invoice out "Β£90 on boilies she said" I said well I did buy quite a lot so they will last, all the time thinking she hasn't noticed the pop ups, wafters bait spray and 2kg of 12mmers π She also saw my receipt from yesterday I said a lot of that was the kids rods and bits π

I find the best way is say nothing I'm like a yoot getting interviewed by the police "no comment" "no comment" "no comment" π

I would be quite happy with an easy barrow load tbh, Looking at a Rucksack also and how to minimise everything, but tackle wise is where it gets messy for me I have a bag that has everything in tacklesafe, rig pouch, rig and bits wallet, buzzer bar bag and it fills the bag, by the time I've added a few other bits and I can't always find everything, I have to have scales and stuff in another bag, camera Rucksack, clothes bag for winter, bivvy, rods, food+ cooking bag I reckon a Rucksack would get my camera bits, clothes, accessories sorted, tackle station for all my bits, food bag, rod bag bivvy and bed bag bait sorted π -

Has anyone got an ngt bivvy table system 2? I can get ngt stuff quite cheap and although deep down I want to minimise I could lose a bag if I got one of these and have all my bits in one place and customise it to suit? -
I once ate a Nash formula 1 airball pop up for a bet, I made a fiver but did feel quite ropey, π And in all seriousness that is quite a topic for me, I've always liked baits that smell nice but deep down you know it'sthe ones that stink that work best π
-
You sort of build up a collection while you find out which ones you like best π most of these will never see a hook again but you never know when they may come in handy π
-
These 2 rigs have stayed virtually unmoved all night in the lunchbox of truth and justice, that pop up tiger rig looks deadly in a pva bag situation I guess with more water pressure it may rest down a little more but I still think it will be good for bag fishing as personally I don't want the hookbait sitting out the top like a warning beaconπ
-
Right guys My terminal tackle is getting a little out of hand I have an ngt XPR for my smaller bits which is OK but my old Nash lead and bitz pouch is about 3 times as wide as it should be now, and it's quite unorganised, I've got one of those ngt 7+1massive ones but that's too big but would make a good one for at home so I don't have to always take the kitchen sink, Have a decent rig wallet so not too fussed about more rig space, just need something for the packets and all the rig making bits I want to take with me, I am Considering the tracker nxg compact tackle bag but think should I just commit to a korda tackle box or something similar, or just get one of those compac tackle bag things then I could just chuck in essentials I want to be organised how do you pack yours?
-
That seems like a good idea, I might try that sometime π You could also do something similar with a double ring swivel for use with a leadclip rig on one, bag on the other π
-
Can always remove them when I need too, you never know I may even drink one if I ever catch another fish ππ

-
I just spotted I can turn the fridge right off so that will stop the little bleeders That's not an excessive hookbait range, is it?
-
Size 6 with a medium kicker should be perfect for my bag set up with a wafter or low pop up, just a smidge more delicate π

Cyprinus K2 brolly system or??
elmoputney replied to Jguy91's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
The Jrc extreme is basically the magnetix brolly but with a 20000mm hydrostatic head rather than the 10000mm which is perfectly OK for most british weather,the k2 does look great tbh, the bunker is 20000mm hh and with a wrap and I got my bunker with wrap for Β£92 posted on an ebay auction, at that price is was worth the punt, it's a solid bit of kit and slightly more spacious than a brolly -

Im 6ft and tbh that was my concern, however its just the same as my brolly actually I think Joe makes it look smaller than it is,
