@Higham1987 I had a look at the cyprinus website, no stock but they called it a pleasuredome and they have a wrap for £60 that is out of stock but,....... You can also search for a chub one.

Interesting I will have a look later

Cyprinus, bivvy prices have gone through the roof since they went belly up 😂

Thanks I did change the settings on my camera like you suggested, I think it turned out pretty well, certainly a lot nicer than some of my prior efforts thanks for the guidance,

Well This is technically a view from the bivvy door as I needed to keep the camera dry 📸

Not sure if I used @yonnyphoto class to its max, but it was piddling down, I had the camera in the bivvy and just went for it. Turned out pretty well I think, Thanks to @Higham1987for the night spodding advice. I redid the rods this morning with a fresh pop up on a classic Elmo spinner rig, fired about 20 more baits with a pult and 10 minutes later this was the result. Naturally I used mollasses in the spod mix and this 29lb 8oz common was the result I had worked so hard for. Confidence is king.

Not a kitkat chunky either. I fell into a burning ring of fire,i went down, down, down as the flames they went higher.

I am, I also have covid so I am isolating, I've worked hard moved and everything, I deserve a bite, just done 8 more spombs over each spot, get those bobbins dancing 🙏

I'm going for 6 over my 2 rod spot. I had a bite since I last topped it up, Spods away

Should I do some night spodding? Can't decide 😬

Pretty sure that was the same as a cyprinus one but not the bunker, might not be much different though. Do you know the dimensions?

That's not a bunker I don't think looks a bit different to me. Looks like some kind of day shelter one. The bunker has a fart flap on the back. I do have a wraP for it but that is the only time i use the bunker when it's cold 😬

I think it is more not the time to experiment, that could have been the biggun, or the linear I really want to catch, now my owny concern is whether I put enough bait out earlier, I can hear a fairly decent acoustic band tonight, quite country they played the gambler and they have a girl singer who sounds really good. Would prefer to hear my bite alarm screaming though

I would say an overwrap would fit just fine if the dimensions are exactly the same, did the older one have an option for inner dome? If so they have probably just jazzed it up a little and rebadged it, that is also probably why they didn't reply because they didn't want to admit it's the same

Phwoooar that's a ripper. Well done that man.

I've quit on slip D rigs😂 1 bite, one loss, my rods now all have classic spinners on again. 😎 You can't shortcut rig confidence. I've moved and I'm in the right zone, come on the chunky ones.

Let's see if the baiting has paid off, considering I am a bit poorly it went pretty well 2 rods together on a spot with 200 baits around them and a 3rd off to my left on a cheeky lil spot I've been cultivating with a carp grenade and a few loose fed boilies, come on the carps. Carp grenade incoming.

Not a family name I could support would rather they were called granny freezer baits or something.

Jrc cocoon bedchair must be early 2000s it's a bit battered, been moused, replaced the cord for zip ties, but it still gets used by my daughter and it's not a bad back up bedchair. I sometimes use it if I want to travel light because it weighs nearly nothing. Still got the cyprinus bunker that comes out for winter when I want a wrap or bivvy with a front. That's done me well. (I have just thought I might need to fix it though either that or I may have already bodged it, can't remember now😳) I'm on my 2nd ngt coolbag after the first one got moused but they seem to last quite well. Great value for money. Everything else seems to break,or I get bored and swap it for shiny new stuff.

Just the name annoys me, they could be the best boilies in the world and I wouldn't use them.

I like the claw hammer for an unsharpened hook they are naturally pretty sharp.

Conditions look perfect, probably shouldn't have spombed the granny out of it for a 2hr session 😬

They love garlic because it can help them get rid of parasites.

Yeah I think they will work nicely tbh but only time will tell. Thanks I don't think I've got any silicone that size at the moment, will get some and have a try. I don't mind having to tie a whole rig everytime if it means it's perfect. Shrink tube heating can be a chore though, would probably mean just doing some in advance at times.
