  1. I do like my 10ft sonik vaders, they are nice but maybe too long as a 2 piece 5ft broken down, tbh though your baby stuff will fill up the car on a holiday you need a telescopic you can fit under your seat, the amount of stinky winky they come with is unbelievable 😂 I still have a 12ft spod though and it does make the quiver look untidy 😬
  2. I may get into pimping my barrow 😎
  3. I have a real pet hate when it comes to reading product reviews and that is "it does what it says on the tin" really boils my widdle I was just looking at a rake head ffs I know that doesn't come in a tin arrrrrgghhhh it's everywhere and mainly when there isn't a tin in sight, 😖
  4. Puncture proof sports wheels https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F333151677276
  5. Bought one thanks @finchey 😀
  6. Thanks that's great I mainly do shortish sessions and have tried to lighten up but apparently not enough yet and this looks pretty good for the money, I might just have to get one 👍
  7. Delving a little deeper it looks like it's an unbranded tfgear banshee anyone used one of those?
  8. Has anyone looked at the £46.99 rocwood one on ebay looks a good smallish barrow for the money but that's just looking at the pics of it, not sure if it actually would be any good https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F362021763721
  9. Hey guys Was looking into chod storage today saw the fox steam and store, but thought wow that's expensive 15 quid so 5 minutes in the garage of dreams and here it is I present to you the world exclusive Elmo DIY CHOD BIN Yep that ls right I've sawn into the middle bit of an old funnel Web tube I had kicking about, I actually think the boilie sized one would be perfect for this as it would put a better curve on the rig when steaming it, but you are free to change the design as you wish and maybe even take more care when using the saw
  10. Isn't the only usual rule the higher the number the bigger the reel 🤔 I would go to a shop and pick one you feel most comfortable with
  11. Just used the countersink have to say it does look quite lovely, As John Wilson used to say "I would eat that if I was a carp"
  12. Don't people mainly use wafters nowadays anyway for a balanced hookbait ? 🤔
  13. I do think that Nash create products that aren't already in the market place and develop ideas that will improve someone's angling, not everything will but at least they try to bring fresh ideas, Greekskii I know people have been making untidy rigs and catching for years but for me a neat snowman would be a good thing, might make a 0.5% edge but add all those little extras up and it gives you confidence, I reckon I've got a countersink in the garage will try and make a nice snowman rig with it today, but without seeing this Nash tool I probably wouldn't have thought about it, so they have bought a product that may help someone's angling
  14. And get the haiths app loads of good recipes on there
  15. If you ever want a fishmeal the patshull Park mix is quite user friendly, but very helpful if you speak to them, I made a couple of mistakes when rolling my own I used to put too many additives in then it would roll like a pig, keep it simple to start with
  16. Is it just me that can see a perfectly presented snowman that really looks neat, while I probably wouldn't buy the Nash tool for it, I can see the logic in using a countersink 🤔 I never really look at aqua products way to pricey for me, and I agree look for bargains and you will find them, but if someone is happy to pay for things then that is up to them really, I just like to think I am thrifty or something
  17. This sounds like a good idea, I've been looking at the avid outline leader spools would that work well over weed and chod ok, As a sort of chod leader?
  18. Thanks for the reply greekskii, I think the switch sounds like an odd bait if I am honest, sounds like a hippy bodybuilders clean eating type of bait with pea protien etc I tried pea protien once when I was into fitness and it was horrible, S7 on the other hand does sound like a nice bait and I think you are right it does seem to be slk or S7 that are the main 2 that catch from what I can see,
  19. Has anyone tried DNA baits before? I like the look of there post free deals and premier baits have just put the prices up on matrix so I am having a rethink,in the back of my mind I know the matrix would work OK but it's been out years and years and I've not built up loads of confidence in it yet, I quite fancy trying one of these newer baits on the market and the S7 sounds good, I quite like the range of hookbaits available as well, and the fact you can get dumbells, I just think DNA have some fresh looking ideas, has anyone tried them, ?
  20. Bank tackle putty is good £4.79
  21. Apparently eating garlic helps, I keep getting savaved though I might try some jungle formula or something Do citronella candles do anything I got one of those somewhere
  22. I've been inspired thanks harpz31 B ream Spomb the Base The rolling stonz The grateful deadbait
  23. Bank tackle braid is good it came this morning, I've just tied up 6 multi rigs with it and there continental hooks, looks a rig that will work a treat
  24. Maybe that is answer, they may be suspicious more of boilies, as they more often than not they are a hookbait and they feed happily on the particles knowing they are safer And especially with hemp as people don't tend to use it as a hookbait at all really
  25. I wouldn't feed boilies the way people feed maggots though, people seem to think they all dive into the silt or wriggle away to safety as soon as they hit the bottom, which they don't they drown, so they spomb out tonnes which leads to them getting preoccupied on them, and also finding an easy meal as there is an abundance of maggots on the bottom, Personally I always like to have different items available different sizes, shapes, colours,textures and flavours etc so they don't get used to feeding on one sized thing, even if I just fished boilies I would still use 2 sizes and chops and some crushed ones
