Decided to try and fish one of the new lakes on the complex this year, first time out had a walk round and found the motherload of the fish all tucked away and chilling had to barrow through a swamp and lots of flooded pathways but when my rod ripped off this morning I knew it was worth it, what I realised pretty quickly though was it felt pretty heavy, when I saw it I knew it was quite heavy, I chucked my other rod in the reeds and made sure I wasn't going to lose it by playing it as delicately as I could, I needn't have worried it was nailed on the ever faithful spinner rig, as I sit here contemplating what just happened I've realised I still haven't had a proper cuppa yet today so kettle on and chill time. 31lb not bad for a first night on a new lake 😊

Thanks Elmo. Will have to order some (what do you recommend). I've only got semi stiff braid and fluro.
I've made the spinner type rigs with 20lb fluro. They shouldn't get tangled.
Stringers was the plan with 24mm boilies for when I finally get on the bank. Feel like I not been in months but it's only been around 2 weeks lol
Fluoro or semi stiff should be fine, are you using an anti tangle sleeve? They should kick out fine tbh.

Simplest solution for me would be a magic twig 🤣 only kidding
If you don't want to use a lead clip (I prefer these in a boat) . You could try using some silicone tubing (2mm seems to ring a bell as the right size ) between the lead and the bead that should help with your quandary as it will act like a buffer.

I still really like proper jobs, I have loads of pots of pop ups with different liquids and coatings, goos, powders, liquids on them.
Match the hatch soaked in matching bait spray and coated with stick mix, proper job KLS unsullied,and now innovates choc orange soaked in minamino are the three I start with, I know they all work 😳
I've tried loads of different ones with wondergredients like goo and I'm yet to be convinced they work any better, I think as others have said, they still need to be in the right place.

I got one from a future reform voter in Surrey, it was addressed to Richard Tice saying eff me here because things aren't bad enough already?

Brilliant thanks, ive had a play and come up with this,
i used a metal straw and 25lb mono through the middle, it seems to pull the deeper at a good angle where as just the mono would tilt the deeper.
think I'll crimp a key ring loop to the back of the boat for quick change.
might just stick with this if it works, do like saving me a few quid
It could also lose you a few quid if that mono snaps or frays against the metal, I did attach my deeper with braid for a while but quite frankly it slowed the boat right down with drag and could tangle with the line you are trying to send out and that can be a right chore as you can't drop the rig because it's snagged on the deeper and by the time you have it back it's a tangled mess or you've got line round the prop. If I was you I would look at the boat specific options and save on hassle.

Could …
Do away with the swivel section
put the line through the hook and tie it off with the loop
cut Down the tail rubber so it leaves the eye exposed for the free movement 👍
Won’t be full 360 but hey ho
or just use 360 rig
it's taken me a long time to get this rig the way I want it, I've now got it as good as I can IMO materials, length etc for me it just works and I don't feel the need to change it. If I want it lower I cut the ring off and use a wide gape, if not I use a J precision long gape this hook pattern is brilliant, even confident now using it in barbless if required.
Everytime I mess with another rig it just isn't as good, multi rigs whilst ive used them a lot ,they can sit there all night having been sprung without a bleep, you can't attach a mesh bag and cast it, they arent as versatile probably better if using a boat /pole/or close range,but i know that will be sitting pretty with a half decent drop.

I like a spinner rig, if they were banned I would probably go Julian cundiff themed multi rig but I would be somewhat disgruntled because spinners work a treat for me if it ain't broke.

Three stripes of thinking angler spliced leadcore and I'm not a happy chap, gone through three different splicing needles trying to splice my kryston leadcore all of them snapped so the TA pre splices with no bits it is. Not bad a lot more supple than the Kryston, also got a set of the Korda inline skyliners.
Roll on next week.
I've found the korda and esp splicing needles to be the best ones I've tried

This is where my point exactly comes to pass.
The DWP cannot afford to be giving funds to Albanians, to Romanians, Nigerians, and pick any number of nations who are leaving their own countries because in Britain they can get benefits for doing nothing.
Why should we fund and pay for criminal lifestyles? Which is happening!
In Ipswich as a Loss Prevention officer, the majority of my cases were Romanian shoplifters, who did it for a living.
In London, Nigerians were credit card fraud, Albanian drug dealers and various Eastern Europeans and all getting benefits, more than I live on now as disabled!
Britain's political system is broken, it needs reform, but that is reform with no political parties.
So everyone else is a free Loader, hmm I don't believe that, I'm pretty sure anyone desperate enough to cross the channel in a small boat or under a lorry is desperate. Here's a crazy idea set up safe and legal routes plan for these people to find work when they arrive so they can contribute, treat them humanely not like cattle and fix the broken economy through more people having more money to spend, that way they will be grateful for being here and want to integrate and be part of building a better society for the many not the few. You seem more upset with immigrants getting an extra fiver than the billionaires who are avoiding paying millions in tax, you probably believe that the elite got rich through hard work. Most of the time it is because they exploit the system and the workers.

What annoys me is the lack of a universal payment for all, the more money people have to spend the more the economy grows something both labour and the green party occasionally bring up but shy away from when the right wing press talk it down.
Same for pensions I have payed in well over the amount needed for a state pension I even got my letter a few years back confirming what I will get, yet in Russia of all places the age for a state pension is 53, I'd be due my pension this year if I was Russian.
Universal basic income scares the life out of the super rich because they want to keep you poor and in your place, compliant and in working poverty, useful idiots that spout right wing propaganda about migrants coming to take your jobs and other misleading nonsense, help to keep you in place also by distracting you from the real crisis, the super rich tax dodging elite. We could feed all the refugees, end homelessness if we wanted too. But it's a political choice not too.
Greens are the only ones out of the mainstream parties that have stated they would try and roll out Universal Basic Income but Nicks mates at GBeebies won't like it as it would create less poverty and despair and that isn't good for FASCISM.

Or Tony b liar who feathered his wife’s nest by opening the flood gates…….
as said before
none of them are any good
all 2 faced self serving gob..
better not
That's not gonna offend me BTW I know what Tony Blair is, same as Sir Kier and all the tories all complicit in war crimes. If you want less refugees perhaps get your leaders to stop bombing or assisting with genocides.

Our reliance on cheap foreign goods and the instant culture has a lot to answer for.
Im old enough to remember
satsumas just at Christmas
nuts just at christmas
Paper bags
recycling pop bottles
loose fruit and veg
walking to the shops to do the weekly shop with my mum.
nowadays…..
better not
Just blame Thatcher and the rise of capitalism that Saville loving witch has a lot to answer for.
And Nick what makes you think the billionaire backed reform party with multi millionaire property tycoon leader Richard Tice will be any different?
They will be even worse, they are a bunch of gaslighting fascists.

How do we know it’s Highy 🤔 could be a stalker Iv heard about them … tell us what your favourite brand is we’ll soon know if it’s the great one.

Not sure I would trust them long term but they certainly have bigger fish to fry in the short term.
I think we are facing much bigger issues than banning fishing though at present, labour and tories both complicit in a genocide a vote for either is a vote for evil. The right wing chancers reform are just a bunch of lying racist fascists, quite frankly if you have a decent independent in your area vote for them or nothing will change

Today i bought
A wolf x spod to replace the one I misplaced on Friday.
ESP big shot medium catapult (that I mistakenly bought elastic and a pouch for previously thinking I had an esp pult
And 2 packs of avid d rig kickers because no other D rig kicker comes close when creating the perfect ronnie D rig.

Some companies have a size on them in mm, I think jumbo are bigger than large though or maybe not dependant on who you are buying from 🤔
AA Baits do an XXL size which I would classify as jumbo a large and a standard, I would judge in mm size, I have used hinders tigers and would happily use them again

Cracking fish mate, well done 👍👍
Had a similar incident with my shimano reel when spodding, bail arm shut as I went to cast. Snapped 60lb leader only for it to whip me across my arm and neck. Made my arm bleed 🤣🤣🤣
Good luck with the rest of session mate hopefully bank a few more 👍
No more for me, I got a small gap in the rain and made for home,
My one has done that repeatedly and cost me loads of spombs, there is a simple fix, don't buy shimano 😂
Or you could try this, I have to manually close the bale arm now but it beats losing spombs all the time.
