Solid bag? They might not be able to resist one of those bad boys.

Not using wraps is just fishing with the handbrake on in my opinion. Make life so much easier tbh and one of the greatest inventions in modern carp fishing. And only having to count into double digits makes life so much easier it's a no brainer. Although recently I have also started using a marker set up again. So now I can find a spot with a marker. Wrap it up the next stage is a leading rod so I can interrogate the spot I've just found around the marker. I think deepers can be great to a point but I've gone off mine recently though and just stopped using it. I think the rudd play havoc with it and give you false readings that look like weed, I also found it made me want to spend ages trying to find the perfect spot, whereas most of the time they don't exist and bait can quickly make an OK spot better that's where the rudd are quite handy 😂 To me a wrap is 12ft btw all the sticks I've owned come with a 12ft cord Someone asked me to do a review on these when I got them, Best £12 you will spend on wrap sticks tbh, they are thin and go in most grounds well and they are solid work a treat. Only down side they are quite short but that doesn't bother me really as i rarely need to go more then 21 wraps

I remember seeing a "proper carper" with a set years ago and ever since I've always wanted some, I might just get another and a couple of littler rods and have a mobile set up. Or I may just use it as a 2nd spod rod reel dunno yet 🤔

I just had a rush of blood to the head and bought a daiwa Emblem S 5000T off ebay, £45 I've always wanted a set of these, didn't really need it though and not quite sure what I will use it for 😳

Hope you get better soon, sounds awful

I'm also in 👍

So do I mate

I've just sent my payment over so it's official we are going 👍

Rob has been in touch if you can PM me your phone numbers I will send you over the bank details to pay with

I would have felt the thing I walked straight into if I had hair still 😂

A baldy bang on the head today walked into an oven door handle just as I was packing up at work.

Got the look, could have the build but nah not my type of thing really, I have thought about going to St John's occasionally as a volunteer but never quite found the time.

My mate knows him and just said he is a decent bloke but is usually a little slow responding if at all, I will keep trying I'm still hopeful it's OK 👍

#Thuglife 😂

He hasn't called back yet, I've just messaged the guy that runs the lake I fish as he probably knows him as its next door and I'm pretty sure they have done work together on the track and stuff, hopefully if we can join the dots and we can get an answer one way or another.

Mine is so short now you can't see the grey

I will keep chasing this week and hope i can get an answer one way or the other

I haven't bought much really. 3 matrix hockey sticks (ebay bargain) and some mcf bike chain indicator chains to go with them. And a new head shaver I am now super bald 😂

Yep, hoping he calls back soon tbh I want this monkey off my back now

I've just called and now left a message on his phone as the forum is back up and running, hopefully he calls me back and we can get it sorted out

Thank god the forum is working again, I kind of missed you all 😉

2oz and 3.5oz heli leads 10 of each 2 marker leads MP lead shed great value leads tbh And some breakaway leads off ebay for deweeding

Good luck, hopefully you are onto something now. I've been doing a big bucket a week, I doubt it last more than a couple of days though. I am going Saturday so it will get another hit when I leave hopefully, but I am tempted to leave it alone for a bit longer, I reckon all the pads will be putting people off and I might start another too. Don't want to have all my eggs in one basket this year. Especially now I've found a good cheap particle source near my home 😂

I would say the mix is working for me one spot was like glass primed and ready I think , the other you have to be precise to get a drop, anywhere around it is virtually floor to ceiling weed that spot got the majority today hoping to increase it slightly, but it was progressing nicely soon be ready I think, then quick scrape with the rake to improve line lay and it will be game on.

I haven't been for a couple of weeks already feels like a lifetime, going tomorrow to clear some pads and stuff will have buckets of bait and hopefully do some spot clearing, this will hopefully help next time I get to fish and also I feel like I am fishing even when I am not because I'm thinking whether they have cleared the spots yet 😂 Next best thing is to be preparing for something.
