I didn't say the ruling class were working class btw just they are parasites of the working class ie they take everything from the working class to live lives of luxury whilst sitting on backsides trying to take our human rights away, Devolution is happening because of the slow agonising death of capitalism. There is a new big cheese in town and the capitalists and neoliberalists weren't prepared for it sadly neither were the socialists, making big money is no longer about owning the machinery to produce things,and controlling the wages of the Labour who do the producing. it's all about a few people owning all the cloud based equity, they can charge capitalists cloud rent for things like selling on amazon, ebay,Spotify, Google ads etc without being bound by taxation like capitalists, so even the ruling class are being whipped and the working class just go about being programmed and manipulated by what they read and view online,also paying for services to entertain themselves, have you ever had a discussion with someone about a product or person or something and even without searching, later on that day it's become a suggestion for you to purchase or news stories appear about that person or thing? It's only going to get worse until goverments gain control of it. And I don't think they have a clue how yet. Anyway back on topic, rod licences grrr

If you fished on the rivers you might catch the plague or something these days, all the faecal matter being dumped into them by privatised water companies, ruining the utilities whilst making gross profits for shareholders, and yet when they go belly up we will have to bail them out again with tax payer funding. I'm not sure what the rod licence really does either.but it hasnt maintained our waterways, they always flood now because they never seem to dredge thema keep the drains clean. Nowadays the ouse seems flooded for a 3rd of the year. Whag a country this is, ruled by parasites of the working class.

I think the 12lb is 0.35mm and like the hydrotuff breaks well above the stated BS, so essentially it is a 15lb line and then some, it's also very abrasion resistant and also fairly low stretch, well worth a look

Have you tried gt80+that's a copolymer and it sinks like a brick.

I could've but I already had one extra deep spool so I just went with an extra deep one and will get another deep one, once they have backing they are just like shallow spools really anyway. Then I'll have 2 sets one for 15lb gt80+ for weed/snag fishing and probably some thinner katran stuff for casting a bit further in less weedy conditions lol.

Is it called the river wave knee or the wav er knee?

I got checked for the first time ever last year, it has got expensive, but it's still only 5ltrs of olive oil, half a tank of diesel, probably 7 or 8 pints of beer at a pub, and over 4 x national minimum wage and about the price of cooking a roast on a Sunday with the heating on low. The only thing we need now are wages, pensions and benefits to catch up and we will all live happily ever after.

I've got some of that still, it does make a good boom tbh, I think I bought a weird colour though it's almost the same as a pair of farah action slacks. Also don't buy the extreme that is impossible to use.

Still love them, they have been perfect, they did get a bit dirty after that rain, must give them a clean.

I mainly use 15lb korda boom, I have used Gardner stiff link before in 25lb but I find they can be too thick and wirey in 25lb, I like the korda one because you can now get XS crimps which match the 15lb nicely. The 15lb boom is a little more supple and yet stiff enough to always reset.

I had a little look thanks no stock at the moment but apparently under new management for 2024.

@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
