Little bit more stuff today 3 packs of large avid d rig kickers, Avid QC lead clips and tail rubbers 10 off Some ridgemonkey d rig kickers and also some gardner d rig kickers. Turns out I mainly bought kickers 😳

Can't do this with a spomb though can you?

Oh really I didn't know that, that would've been a feature to brag about when they have so many people complaining about them not opening 😳😂

Apparently spombs now have a setting which you can click/adjust in the nose that makes them open easier, X spod is still better though.

Agreed if a krimp isn't right it will slip. I always listen for that clicking sound when I crimp them, then I pull them enough to see if they will slip. The gemini booms are decent to be fair I have used them myself

Wolf spods are much better than spombs. an actual spod is better than a spomb even with spod spill 😂

Just finished this one, nice story and some blooming nice big carps.

I wouldn't bother with a cheap boat tbh, I bought one off Ali express, for similar money it was terrible, wouldn't go straight or open when you wanted it too, then I bought an actor plus and while it was a lot better to use, I found I was getting bogged down by tech, I had a deeper attached and in the end I felt like I was taking hours to get my rods out, I've sold it now and just use a good old fashioned spod rod, distance sticks with a lead, x spod, catapult or throwing stick, and I enjoy my fishing more again. Don't get me wrong there are times when it would be a godsend, but keeping it simple, gives me more time to focus on the important stuff like chilling out and looking at the water.

Isn't a bait boat a kind of watercraft? 😂

Such a great video, one you could never imagine happening but its got something truly pure, honest and wonderful about it.

I watched the obsession by Carl first then found Scott Lloyd had also released his video the same day, I really enjoyed both of them and felt they made a great story between them. So I will recommend them as a pair of films.

Have you seen this one I love this video.

That's a shame , you would think these things should get better and easier as they develop, they seldom seem too, i will keep having ideas anyway 😂

Thinking anglers do make some good videos, this one popped up last week and I really enjoyed seeing the hard work and prep. https://youtu.be/YFM1nSmsSS8?si=lOEEx8fIPQrz3_Kt

Be careful what you wish for i might start having lots of ideas 😉😂

Also maybe a sub category for subscription service reviews. I've subscribed to quite a few lol

I did watch most of it but just missed the last 20 minutes or so, you just have to make the most of nap times when you get them 😂

Yeah same these days, some of it may be good but I never really want to find out, I've been tempted by a bush whacker a few times though. I've got one of those reels, I don't rate them tbh, I don't like the double handles and the line lay isn't the greatest, I was a little disappointed with the quality of it overall, but it works and for the amount it gets used I can't be bothered to change it.

Spoiler alert 😳😬🤣

I watched that earlier, but missed the end cos I had a nap 😂

I have a 6000 shimano baitrunner on my 7ft rod and it feels fine, they might be slightly big for 6ft Rods but I cant help thinking you will outgrow those pretty quickly and want some longer rods, The 55 sized custom black would also be good, that has a 15kg drag which would handle the job nicely, the 8k has an 18kg drag and they will handle anything, they might be a good choice for you.

My post might make more sense when the 1st part of it is approved 😳

Also I've had some regal BR in the past, they won't be as good as the okuma. And okuma have a 5yr warranty.

Sure will get it at some point matey, just keep at it.

I don't trust Nash products personally, I once owned a titan that fell apart, I would think of the okuma ones you mentioned the LS-6k will do the best job for you, it will also give you a bit of space if you decide you need a pair of bigger rods
