my thinking was if I used a nut based bait they may not like it as much as someone else's and let me be 😂 But if a bream turns his nose up that might also mean it isn't a very good bait 😁 I can try some ideas on one rod I guess, he who dares rodders and all that

Do bream still eat nut based boilies or does that slow them down a bit ? I just wonder as last time I fished there was on the old fav P42 which had nuts in it, and I wonder if that was why I didn't get plagued by them?

I cast 13.5 wraps last time I was fishing and it gave me a nosebleed 😁 For sensitivity I find my soniks pretty bang on tbh of I can I turn it up to full, it registers most small movements, I think like nick said a lot of sensitivity comes down to lead set up, I think the running rig is much better if you need sensitivity especially if you can get your rod pointed at the spot you are fishing, I found the heli set up gave some weird indications, if I can I use running rigs, but I guess with inlines and bolt rigs they are hopefully helping to get more takes as soon as the bait is picked up,

I was thinking of getting a whole site ticket and being able to just go where I pleased with a bait that didn't need a lot of introduction lol but seeing how that's been scuppered already 😁 Seriously it was a concern now it's a bigger concern 😂 i am still quite keen to persevere with the plastic and pva approach for the hookbaits though I have 3 rods can mix them up , even feeding boilies it may work well, I can handle the odd bream or tench but I would get fed up catching lots of them 😢 Cheers all

I can't actually remember catching a bream last time I was there tbh, I am sure they will be there though 👀👀 I did catch a tench though maybe I will add some boilies just incase I need to switch 😁 Nuts are banned unfortunately otherwise I would

I thought the hubb was going to be an app turns out its a proper receiver https://www.wolfint.com/product/icon-hubb/ Apparently its got a 2000km range, I'm just popping to see the proclaimers 500 miles away, I will hear them if I get a take its fine 😁 They do look good though I think any idea on price ? I watched the sonik Gizmo vid last night they look like an improved version of the sks alarms

Hi guys I've taken the decision to try something out with pva and plastic baits, and I am tempted to not use boilies for a bit to see how it works, but I am also mindful I could be heading to snotsville, I've just received some banging mini 2mm pellets which smell amazing and are soft I'm hoping they firm up a bit over time but they seem like mini attraction gold, I want to add a firmer small pellet which will be a slower breakdown and that's the bags sorted, I am thinking a range of enterprises finest for my hookbaits, Now when it comes to spod mix I am thinking mixed pellets up to 11mm and particles, is there a particle bream don't like but carp love am hoping its pigeon conditioner BTW 😁 I don't mind catching a few snotties if the big girls also appear, I am also hoping to avoid catfish if possible maize and tigers are banned 🙆 Thanks all in advance

Or the gooner

Oh no minutes silence

The Fox easy splicing needle looks just like a diamond pole elastic threader, you could cut one of those down and use that,

Personally I think if you want something reliable you need German or Japanese really,

My understanding of suburus is that no 2 cars are wired the same 😱

I am looking at new cars at the moment my Passat tdi has been great tbh I've done 110,000 average 40+ mpg pretty much hassle free motoring in it, it's getting a little tired now but still runs like a dream, I would quite like to see how far I can go with it, but not sure been looking at more practical family vehicles, like an estate or a grande cmax, but it also needs to be suitable for fishing, My misses has a seat ibiza fr diesel 30 tax 50+mpg diesels are great imo, I wouldnt put you off any *** diesel, Don't be tempted by a b class merc though biggest pile of toot I've ever owned, I didn't like my mum and dad's petrol crv that much tbh bit wallowy and expensive to run and that was a decade ago they switched for a diesel one which was better

I give up 😁 That's a 4 with large kicker

Nice one for that I did look at BMG I've just ordered some, and some other bits lol couldn't help myself I've wanted some tungsten anti tangle sleeves for a while couldn't resist 😁 no hooks though I was a good boy Yonny send me your address I have ordered you a pack to return the favour

Very demanding 😂😂 I think if you pull them about a bit and give them a gentle tug they stretch a bit

You mean more like that?

This is a size 4 with a large korda kicker on it, I think it looks pretty good, I do also think it may be the same as the one they used for the picture, I scaled the pic the same size as the hook and they lined up closely, the size 5 didn't seem the same as the image, I have got the eye right up to the bend of the kicker though, maybe with a knot it might not present the same

To be fair his cyprinus reviews have been pretty spot on, he did make the bunker look smaller than it was though is he really tall?

Just got them in the mail thanks Yonny, I think you are right size 5 is right for the large ones, which will hopefully make the the xl right for the 4's, will be interesting to see if they do cos I think they are going to be a very handy edition to the toolbox 😁

Skim reading through that did make me think I hadn't fully explored the multi rig, might have another look into it

The more I look at these the more I think they are the perfect accessory for a hook, and simple to use too, you can make a decent bottom bait, wafter and pop up rig all without too much hassle

I've had a quick look and the gape seems the same on size 4 and 5 it's just a tiny bit shorter, I will take them to work tonight and try and get some measurements and see what the actual difference is but my initial findings are that If a size 5 fits it wouldn't be a lot worse to use, I can't decide if it's a thinner gauge though so want to check first

I've just tried to find one but I think it may be a korda one also, They do an XL one, would that be longer? Maybe also why it was modified a bit, I have size 4 and 5 trigs I will do a comparison photo if that helps, also if you know a pattern that kicker works with I can try and compare it if I have something similar?

You won't regret it 👍
