  1. I wouldn't use a chod rig with a wafter, I would use a simple knot less knot rig with a line aligner personally, I haven't used the chod rig much but I would say it's primarily designed for pop ups (I will probably be proven wrong now) but just keep it simple, Personally I would spend the time learning to make your own rigs, there are plenty of good videos on YouTube that can teach you, Carl and Alex are great to watch, they have started doing tutorial videos, just get watching all of those and you will soon learn your own way, Bait is a personal thing really, if you find one you are confident in then use that, if your not sure have a good look around here there are plenty of threads to browse through on bait and rigs Good luck
  2. Just wondering the 30lb braid you are using is it the stuff that comes free on reels? I got some on my sonik vader spod reel and it wasn't very good, had weak spots and snapped, and it isn't a bright colour 😁 I use spider braid or the spectra braid now seems much better and yellow and doesn't cost the earth (50lb straight through) , I think that helps when spodding might need a thinner breaking strain if you want to chuck it far though, but for most general fishing it would be fine 👍
  3. There is a video or something somewhere, I think it was a Tom maker one, aaagh found it can't believe you didn't know that one 😏 I think it may have been framey that showed me it before 👍 https://www.carpfeed.com/fishing-advice/how-to/carp-hack-the-two-loop-trick
  4. I've got the same problem with my reel that's the same, I'd written it off as a stinky winky reel tbh so Let me know how you get on and if you cure it, I'll have a look at mine when I get a chance
  5. Thanks Dayvid Will have a better look on the laptop phone pics are too small at the moment, does look nice though
  6. I havent had a beer since January 1st 😢 I made it out the bunker is up and it's lovely nowhere near as small as I thought its pukka nice and comfortable for the cold season, I've even popped on the wrap full luxury tonight and feeling confident , the rods are both in action and it looks like I may have the place to myself soon and I didn't bring the snide 3rd rod 😭 Sometimes you have to do these things for a peaceful life 😀 no washing up though
  7. Roast done now I've just got to get out the door 😁
  8. My significant others brother has come to visit, car is loaded and I'm fishing after lunch why does this seem the longest roast Dinner Ive ever cooked 😢 Sunday roast then fishing not a bad old day though 😁
  9. Hi all looking for recommendations, Would like accommodation and stuff for the kids to do ie pool, roach bashing, and somewhere the misses would like to be also, maybe with some stuff to do on the local area We will also be trying to bolt on euro Disney so wouldn't mind something not a million miles from there but appreciate we may have to do a good bit of driving too I quite like the look of les gravelles, as I will be the only proper angler fishing doesn't have to be too big, just a family break with the chance of a 40+ hippochunk or two and some action Cheers all
  10. I got my jag file today makes light work of hook sharpening and does a decent job, the eze laps were ok but the jag file is better, quicker and seems to make a better sharper point, So Watch out carp im coming for you 😏😁😱🤔
  11. I got a Sunday night booked on vermuyden this weekend, I am really looking forward to a night out, not been for weeks😱😱 Get to try to my new rods and toys out too, so I'll probably blank 😁 But I am thinking of trying some radioactive sweetcorn ☢️🤔🤔🤔🤔
  12. Lightweight alternative 😁
  13. I did just make it up but it would've made excellent viewing 😁
  14. Whilst on the subject of health and safety Does the Nash hook doctor come with safety specs? 🤓🤓🤓
  15. And that's dry 😁
  16. Did you see the sonik anti snore pillow live demonstration ?
  17. Didn't even spot that 28kgs for smallest one plus accessories wow that's gonna hurt someone that's a proper lump Needs a power porter to carry it 😳
  18. Thanks I am OK for one tbh, we can't even agree on deeper usage and whether that is cheating and you cast that , I think bait boats with sonar may cause a riot 😱😱😵
  19. Do you do 0 % interest?
  20. Thanks nick I will have a word and a scout about up there and see what I can find, I did hear some fish have been moved around a bit, but will find out more if I have a chat with Ian again, I've still got a few options tbh I am on another couple of waiting lists also will see if anything else turns up in the next month or so there is one other place I would like to this year if it comes up
  21. I'm further down the A1.not too far from Huntingdon
  22. Oh I see I didn't remember it being that bad 😁 where abouts are you based I'm not too far either
  23. I've just decided I may have some opportunities to do some more stalking this year, it's about time the old 6ft greys stalker rod came out to play again, i need a nice small reel for it I think, but could be nice to walk round for a couple of hours before work seeking some close up and personal action, more of that peeking through bushes action will be splendid I think
  24. It's more fun when you find out yourself, that little Google search then pow the price hits you in the face 😁
