I think the main thing I like is for braid not to be a solid colour that way it should blend in better, unless it looks blatent in the margins I wouldn't worry I tested the esp camo sink link in the margins the other day dissapeared completely, I am colour blind though 😁😁😁

If you are still planning on fishing at st Ives, you will find the bivvy tramps books interesting if you haven't read them already 👍

Jamie Clossick wrote one of his I think,

Did you see this one they are releasing?

There are other ways of making a similar set up in black on the cheap I think 👍 bare with me I'll do some research

Any old black buzz bars would do if you have any? Then all you need is the threaded uprights and a couple of small banksticks possibly available in black

I may be able to grit blast them at work which might be easier, dunno if I want to paint them black though, not when you can buy black singles it would need to be different 😬😁😉 I can feel a project coming on 😁

Kind of slight variation on the Std ones you can get,as I am using a goalpost front bar and a narrow buzz bar rear and other bits I had, the quality isn't all that I don't think really needs a proper tap and die cutter set running over them to make them better, the threads are a bit poo on them. Probably good 10 ten yarders but I just know they will annoy me 😁

My stainless bits arrived yesterday while I remembered how stinky winky the quality is just set them up in tip run required corner, I don't think I will like them for long as my buzz bar bag now weighs more than my bed 😁 but quite happy with the rake on the set up and they seemed sturdy enough time will tell but will probably end up wanting to buy some quality items eventually 😅

Cheers guys I think I've gone off the idea of the alarms today now 😂 I did read a lot of good ones about the S9 though so maybe they are a little better, but I may just stick with the soniks they haven't let me down yet

That's not so good I think the S9 seems a lot more simple, with less to go wrong on them but thanks will do more digging

I'm also starting to really like these indicators 😬 and really cursing myself for mainly having stainless set ups 😁I can't decide if it would be criminal on stainless to use these or if I care enough to worry, functionally they look good and they are quite pretty 😁

I'm staying to quite like the look of the S9 alarm set tbh, they look quite decent I think, have lots of different features that can be all controlled via phone or the reciever

You can just buy one of there power banks and leave it attached to them 😁

I bought a new net recently, I've got a Sonik S1, It's a bit of a heavy weight one in comparison 998g 😬 But I thought it was light compared to my old one, that must've really been on the pies 😁 Although actually looking the pack weight is 998g too so may be lighter it came in a big old box 🤔

They are now rechargeable ones which is quite handy I think,

For some reason the pervert in me wants some delkims ev-d or Nevilles or something, im not ready to commit 550 quid to a set but I fancy a change 😑 Has anyone used the ND tackle dongles £71, for 3 dongles + receiver which is less than half price of the gardner set up? But are they any good? I am slowly coming round to the idea of needing dongles and the fact they are cheaper from ND makes it acceptable just abiut ☺️, I can't see any other alarms I want really other than Nevilles or the delkims at present, but I think most people will say Delks are better alarms with the vibration sensing thing

I have been similar too for about a week, I'm still at work, was anxious, got angry with everything for a while, emailed my boss about why we shouldnt be here, still at work but calming down a bit now, accepting I have to be here, I don't want to because I can't control who comes and goes or what they bring with them but I can clean everything down, stay as safe as possible wash my hands and tell people to get the eff away, and pretend it's for social distancing purposes 😁😁😁 But like Steve I am now in the hands of Boris waiting for the shutdown to come, until then I have to work unfortunately, otherwise I am staying safe as I can The only trick I have for helping to calm me down when I am anxious is to run my wrist vein side up under a cold tap, after a little while it seems to cool you right down, I swear by it tbh

Hopefully you will win the lottery or something to make up for it, hope you get it all sorted soon

I had a midlife crisis and started BMX racing a few years ago, I found out how much you don't bounce as you get older, smashed my shoulder into the second hump in a double and damaged my rotator cuff, that hurt quite a lot, 😁

That's my plan too but my calf may have other ideas 😁 I need a hot tub I think hmmmm

Kids weren't bothered, and you tube crashed on me half way through so didn't get to finish it, think I've damaged my calf today 😁 I did a cosmic kids yoga class afterwards though 😜

That looks a good idea, I do quite like the look of the wychwood buzz bars and banksticks too they have some nice features like the bobbin thread hole and the fact you can use them as a goal post or single bankstick set up, maybe once I get bored with the stainless I Will have a look 😁

I decided against it and bought some ngt screw in banksticks The skinflint way to make a single pod set up 😁 I have loads of other stainless bits so have options now

I don't need one but I think they look lovely In these dark times I feel like treating myself, anyone got one?
