Hi guys I got reminded from and old photo that it's been 2 years since I bought some proper job pop ups which i would probably still use, but it made me think I also have pop ups that are much older than that which I might also still use, surely they are going to denature a bit over time? So I just wondered how long you would use them for and still be confident they are working for you? And also should I have a hookbait clear out and just use the fresh ones?

Do you get the Prince song stuck In your head when you use the spare spools? I only want to see you fishing with that purple line Purple line, purple liiiiine Just incase you are a bit younger than me 😂

My okuma spools take abiut a million yards of line so I went for a backing line, I worked it out so I should get enough for 3 reels from a spool of hydrotuff, I will just take it off to the backing and replace next time

I was thinking underlit tbh, i do quite fancy them in pink 😂 but if I get green then they match the bobbins I haven't lost yet

Good luck, nice reels 😎 How do you get on with the atts? I'm getting fed up with battery life on my soniks and heard they are good for batteries? I am seriously toying with idea presently

That's a sensible idea would keep the line nice and tight and manageable to put back on

Just light them with a match

You could have a go at making one of these,

Reunited and it feels so good

Same I've got 25kg of 8mm Aller aqua pellets, I think I am going to start shovelling them soon 🤔

I fired in the last of my old bait today, hopefully something will eat it 😂 My bait boat was getting clogged up by micropellets by the way, would be fine with bigger baits like boilies and proper pellets, still think I might sell it though, I think ii enjoyed fishing more pre bait boat

The right one for the situation they face 😬 My 3 would be PVA bag supple rig stiff boom Ronnie, Some kind of wafter rig (been favouring a noodle lately) but it could be a d rig or whatever I thought suited, In all honesty I have started to care a lot less about rigs and more about the situation as I have tinkered enough to think most will work if they are in the right place and suited to what you need main thing for me is it must reset, I got tired of bringing in rigs that are tangled

They look good Highy 👍

Misty morning has arrived, was Definately a chilly one, and needless to say, its been a quiet night 😂

That's it mate just means you have to work that bit harder, just need to find some new angles and areas to work that get largely ignored, can't wait for the weed to come back to be honest, from someone that had never fished in heavy weed a few years ago, I love it now 😂

I believe they do, and I wouldn't put him off, the best bobbins I've ever had

I just hope mine is at home, I've grown quite attached to this set

I think little pellets are getting trapped in the catch, which is a shame because I have nearly 20kg 😂

Thanks will do, I spent ages looking around but didn't see a lot I just decided this may give me a small chance but I missed the swim I wanted to be in and the 2nd choice and 3rd choice lol found some nice spots though, but I think I might be competing against other anglers this year as well as the fish

Spombs always break, I could be tempted by a wolf one but I would only stuff it up a tree 😂 My toy bait boat has annoyed me today, catch doesn't always open, I gave up and went old school and cast 2 rods in the end, I can see why people hate them now 😂

Makeshift DIY bobbin, never gonna catch with non matching bobbins

Surprisingly busy today settled In no carp corner,

You need to get tucked In behind a lorry to save on fuel, I got Into work today in the slipstream of a big old lorry must have saved me tenner 😬

I would have to design and make one first and knowing how little time I already have could take a while 😂

I'm completely in the right job for that and now you've said it makes a lot of sense, I will see if they have the right products for it and if i am allowed to borrow some 😂
