  1. Unfortunately that's true, you can't catch em all 😕
  2. That must've been a tough call to make, but another good decision, I found a few dead ones last year and it does make it tough, do you know what the cause of death was?
  3. That is an absolute stunner and a great story to boot, excellent stuff
  4. Will have a look into it I have some curve shanks in my hook collection 😂 I found a good way make it easy to thread as well the fox easy splice needle, because it's so thin goes through hooks, aligners and small rings with ease I didn't get on with it splicing but I've found a good use for it now 😁
  5. The pva bag rig I was using started to annoy me tonight I really want to use bait screws but d rig aligner says no, or maybe yes but I will annoy you first so back and be faffy, so back with a fresh twist uncoated braid, tungsten aligned multi rig, that will do for now 😁
  6. I did that last year too the littlun bought one home From school and I didn't have any bamboo, mine wasn't just a Nash one it was a broken Nash one 😁
  7. Not that I am aware of sadly 😁
  8. I used my spod rod at my last daughters birthday, I sat on the stage like a knome with a pinata tied to it while the kids whacked the hell out of it 😁
  9. Great read yonny and some great fish too excellent stuff, hope there are more installments to come 👍
  10. Don't you have then reel the dog in though to get it to come back 😂
  11. 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 😂
  12. 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
  13. Is that the thing to stop false beeps? Doesn't seem like it's a adjustable though does it?
  14. You could've put bog roll in the speakers if you could find some 😁
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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 😁
  18. 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
  19. Is that also a matrix piledriver ? Is that a good piece of kit?
  20. 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 😏
  21. 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 😁
  22. 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 🤔
  23. 😁 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 😅
  24. 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 😬
  25. 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
