  1. If you want to see it in action it's one hell of a tool. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwPtGNps789/?igshid=YTUzYTFiZDMwYg==
  2. Look what the pouch is called in German 😲😯😛😀😂
  3. Check out this bad boy. https://kkslingshot.de/products/futterschleuder-v1
  4. I'm sure it will be fine, Just remember you will be throwing it into a silty muddy lake it will soon be tainted with fish poo and dead leaves and stuff
  5. Okuma all the way then mate, my 8k have never missed a beat in the whole time I've had them, I dropped one in the pond still smooth as a baby's backside.
  6. I would look at those too, i have a shimano baitrunner and I don't like it, poor line lay and I really don't like the double handles, feels a bit like a toy to me.
  7. Oh no sorry to hear that mate, hopefully they will both start getting the care they need now, hope it gets easier soon for you
  8. I've found sonar can be misleading, especially if I have already baited a spot, I've found clear spots that I know are clear, that look like they are right to the top with weed, I've decided that's the pesky rudd now though. not happy with eating all the bait, they are also mimicking weed. Like you say though I need a drop and also prefer to cast. If I don't get It drop it gets redone.
  9. I wouldn't worry mate you will need your own Peckham spring the amount you are planning to make.
  10. I always soak mine in cold water straight from the tap, that seems overkill to me putting it in perrier, by the time it's boiled and all the other stinky winky is added it's been sterilised anyway.
  11. Glad you got it sorted, hopefully it will work everytime now, mine has been fine since I got it set up. And yes compared to the price of a deeper range extender great value for money.
  12. If it works for you and it isn't putting the fish in any needless danger crack on I say.
  13. So you're not fishing 2 bait stringers exclusively or first cast if you are creeping them up and no one does ever, In reality you are making more disturbance than a boat. And even with a map spots change, so you would probably check that first with a marker or lead which is more disturbance, and that's before any bait is applied. I used to hate bait boats too, now I can see that used correctly they can be a great tool. With a boat with a sonar you can turn up blind, put your rig and bait (probably 20 spombs worth or more ) on a nice spot that you've just found, line tight and feel for a drop and bingo, you are fishing effectively. And that's just the basics you can find spots you could never find with a marker rod, be more accurate, you could literally fish on a dustbin lid at 35 wraps without any bait falling out of the dustbin lid. Not that I would mind, I like to know I am able to cast as far as any boat I send out. Not only that I still like to cast sometimes, you get a better drop from a cast. I will also use marker, wraps and the boat to make sure I am super accurate, you cant do that pub chucking a 2 bait stringer out.
  14. No worries hope you get it sorted. If you put your deeper in a jug of water you can get it all connected with your phone whilst at home
  15. How many rigs do you find in the same snags with people that have snagged in them from casting too hard? While I agree with you that you shouldn't fish too close to snags I don't agree that it's just boats that are the only ones that fish irresponsibly. I've seen people fishing very irresponsibly without boats, doing things I wouldn't do even with a boat. Also are you just pub chucking a 2 bait stringer, probably no one will just fish a 2 bait stringer exclusively with no extra bait, no leading about and cast perfectly on the money with a nice donk first cast. It wouldn't happen.
  16. Did you set up the Deeper on the computer giving it one number higher? When mine Is on I can connect to my deeper or the Deeper via vonets Say your deeper is called deeper+ 634, you need to set up the vonets on your comp to say deeper+635 (one higher) That video seems to have disappeared, I randomly remembered saving this post on fb it might help you but it's been a while now and I can't really remember exactly https://m.facebook.com/groups/3766590923374157/permalink/6542213902478498/
  17. Drones are the new bait boat lol. I find them annoying when they are buzzing around like gnats, but I can see how they can be an advantage
  18. I wouldn't say I've caught more since using a bait boat, but there are certainly times when it pays to use one over casting and spodding, it certainly a bit more stealthy and probably more accurate,it's also great if you know your spots already or its dark,simply wrap your rod up, rig in, bait in,ahoy there shipmates and there she blows, and and it's also brilliant for prebaiting you can deposit a load of bait without having to make loads of noise, but they also come with drawbacks they can malfunction, you can get your leader caught in the props, it doesn't open properly etc etc, and can also be a faff when things go wrong But I shan't be selling mine anytime soon now I am getting to grips with it.
  19. 4 on the leader and 5 on the Mainline 4 turn on the grinners for the hybrid lead clips for the new leaders I've just made 😲 Kids are at brownies for a bit I'm enjoying my downtime with some prep work 😂
  20. Back to back grinner, seems to be a winner, none have slipped yet anyway. Framey did also suggest this one so thanks 👍
  21. NGT 17 ish quid on ebay fox braid sucks Gardner kinetic spod braid was also good
  22. It might be worth trimming a bit off and also checking your line clip isn't damaging the line
  23. Not good if its fraying, Ive been a little disappointed with durakord that frays easily, not good if its going to fray just make sure you are checking it regularly. The Ngt stuff seems quite good I think it's teflon coated so it's just like a tory MP, you can throw all kinds of muck at it but nothing sticks 😲
  24. What spod braid are you using? Allbright is quite easy once you've done a couple, I'm quite enjoying learning new knots tbh even if I don't use them all its good to practice
