a mad rush after work /school for me and the daughter, made it for a night out on the bank last night, just about set up before dark.Forgot loo roll, cutlery and her little rod, Lovely looking swim, blanked like a good un till 10am then moved here for a bit blanked till lunch time,put rods out back in the other swim, had hot dogs, packed away everything then back to this swim where we tried hard, cast to showing fish and did everything we could,we blanked all the way home too.n Nothing to show for it but a nice time was had,

I'm not saying all solar stuff is bad btw but this bed was poor, it has been discontinued now, it was based on the same design as the sp tech bed but probably using a cheaper metal frame, had it not bent It would have been a comfy bed.

Rare but it happened, a new bed that bent after 1 night, it was absolute stinky winky reminded me of nashys cheap Chinese phase tbh, the axs has been a great bed rated to 24 Stone light as any I've found, and soniks customer service is brilliant any issues I just tell them I know Highy and they sort it double quick.

I did to angling direct and after a lot of calls got it replaced for a sonik axs

It was like a cheaper version of the sp tech maybe called a bankmaster or something, I know they've discontinued this version of it now, I was gutted because on paper it was a decent bed but the frame bent like a banana in the middle right where there was no elastic

I bought a solar bedchair it bent after 1 use, I replaced it with a sonik AXS duralloy, light, strong and seemingly Elmo resistant.

I didn't think you could krimp IQ? only boom, mouth trap and hybrid stiff

That is the key, nowadays if I blank it's because of location, I know everything else will work.

I got into heat treating frozen boilies for a bit, straight into a bucket from the freezer, tip a couple of cups of recently boiled water on them and some hydro liquids and give em a good shake, as they defrost they soak in the liquids leaving you with a nice soft washed out looking bait full of sexy liquids, I found these could help with getting quicker bites, Haven't bothered since switching to shelf life though, maybe I should still 🤔

I think I've got an anker too, seems to do a few charges tbh, I bought an honor phone recently to replace a broken one battery lasts me 2 days and I use it pretty heavily, im still amaze by that because I've never had one that lasts over a day 😳 Ridgemonkey lights seem to last a while too between charges. Get one of the newer anker ones with usb C fast charging abilities they will charge your phone much faster.

Best take the recycling bin with you then 😂

Just take a wheelie bin mate could double as a Bait bucket or ice bath 😂

They must have weighed about half a kilo with lead 😱, I take it you weren't casting far?

Ngt they popped up on amazon and I just thought they would be useful 😜

I doubt that somehow korda kaizens have come out with a 4lb tc rod, could cast one hell of a stringer with that 😱

Throwing stick target practice?

If you want to make them shorter have a look at the korda chod crimps.

Good luck

Some of my tackle is still muddy from that adventure 😳

Just doused this on my boilies, splash of brut and I'll be right on the dance floor later.

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.
