I'm doing pretty good today so far made smoothie bowls for breakfast, prepped and air frying some chicken boobs, now gonna walk the dog, then wash the cars. Then do some Buddha bowl prepping for dinner for the week. I am like a real grown up now 😂

I take my car cleaning quite seriously I have a rolling tool box with all my cleaning bits in 🤣 All this talk of jet washers makes me think it's car cleaning Sunday today.

It's not a karcher but it has got some power. I also have a snow foam lance sounds like you need that to start with.

If it doesn't work I have got a pressure washer 😂

You can get your ears done in specsavers now, I think they blast them with a pressure washer or something to clear them out. Might not be a pressure washer though. But apparently what they do seems to work.

I've just started this month's baitworks podcast and apparently mark uses a a short IQ d rig in his solid bags. I quite like a d rig nice and easy to make too. And I've got a load of chod hooks that I never use 😂

I think I prefer a wafter in a bag just looks more natural. I don't think a bag rig needs to be complicated. A multi rig wouldn't be a bad choice it would do all the hookbaits you want and it would be easy to change the hook. (not for a mesh bag though)

Personally I would use a an uncoated braid, as it would be supple, you could leave a coated section at the lead end to act as an anti tangle sleeve, What type of hookbait and rig set up are you using? I would use a 4 or 6 hook probably. KD rigs work pretty well in a bag.

That's an Interesting idea, I've also been guilty of spending ages poncing up hookbaits, and actually quite often ones I think should be deadly don't catch anymore than the rest (sometimes less Infact) . I have got a tub of unflavoured proper jobs that was planning to flavour the stinky winky out of. I do think I catch more when I use my spod mix though which has loads of colours, I do think the garlic granules are a factor but maybe I've been overlooking the importance of the colour. You can also add why does plastic corn work so well. I think it is probably a lot to do with length of rig as much as the shot. And possibly lead arrangement too, I used inlines and 2" shorter rigs for my recent hauling trip, I don't think i am changing back to lead clips or helis anytime soon.

Yeah, I've even got some groundbait mix ready, but usually leave it at home to save carrying an extra bucket. Maybe next time.

It's comin home, it's coming, tackle shops coming home 😂

I wish I could be bothered to try the method again, I've got all the bits to do it, but never seem to get round to actually doing it.

Welcome back mate,I knew this day would come.

Might be a good product, but OMC do some terrible product names 😬

I always found that, so far must be well over a year or two old my Gardner g force is still igniting. That being said everytime I use it I do burn all my hand hair 😂

I had a similar thing with my partygrill last week I turned the gas up more and it went. But I've had it before on burners and just used a lighter.

I watched the frank Warwick video on it last night and they were saying the weighted hook beads wouldn't be as effective as they wouldn't move round the bend of the hook. Whereas a bit of hair and a shot would slide a bit.

I bought 50m of PVA mesh earlier.25mm and 38mm, I've just been clipping on small bags of pellets or 4 or 5 boilies to the hook, I've got a really thick matching glug I've never used so I'm going to tie a load up and just dip em before casting. I've also got some stick mix I could roll em in that after lol, be like casting out a KFC chicken leg 😂

Cheapest century I could find was £287 for a century spodding machine. I don't think Mrs Putney would be best pleased with me. I might just keep an eye out for a used harrison, century or free spirit one, I'm in no rush yet. Will see what turns up.

I have been tinkering with shortening my rigs, since I watched that went from regulation 7" to about 4-5" I have also ditched lead clips recently and gone back to Inlines. I am not easily led though 🙄 I haven't gone full shot on the hook yet. 😂

9 This one was my daughters first 20lber, she cast the rod herself and dropped it just off some pads, I had gone up the track a bit to clip up my rod and it screamed off and she was playing it and shouting for me, was a fraught battle on the old trusty 7ft greys, she did really well and eventually I netted it for her, she took the photos to school and everyone was really impressed. She's not really fished since but has worked on her casting. She did try playing one on my rods last week but they are too big and heavy for her.

Rather than relying on liquids you could try adding some of this, i use 2 little scoops in my spod mix and it honks,it was my little secret lol, but it has done me really well for the last 2 years 😳

I've never owned a matching spod rod, Is there any advantage to buying one over say any other half decent spod rod? Whilst my wychwood is still going strong for now and does all I need. it has started to feel a little tired recently and it occasionally creeks af groans like probably most of us 😁, when you consider I've had 2 sets of rods since I had that and I do quite a lot of spodding, I'm thinking it might be my next upgrade. And might just go for the matching free spirit helical 12ft SPM rod as I am enjoying the new rods so far but I just wondered if there was an advantage in doing so? If anyone has used the SPM rod would like to hear comments also. Regards

I tried some korda and fox ones but tbh they are much of a muchness and it's not really the kicker that is the issue, I think the problem with the spinner is the lack of seperation between hookbait and hook tbh, the d rig kickers solve that issue, until this week I can't remember the last fish I lost tbh, but they are a small faff, I'm happy enough with the d rig kickers just need to get them ready in advance so I am not wasting time on the bank, much like I do my booms. That probably is the solution lol
