  1. They did mine right in my shoulder, still hurts 2 days later I swear it went straight into bone or something,
  2. Not going won't make it any better though bud, get out while you can good luck πŸ‘
  3. Just go for it, you might get lucky this time πŸ‘
  4. I dont think it usually needs yanking through tbh, I have developed a sort of technique where I almost shake it back through the splice hole I never wet mine either, Aren't you meant to splice the leadcore with the leadcore from that section removed? Much the same as a lead free leader
  5. The fox blue splicing needle is good, What leadcore are you using? And are you removing some of the leadcore, I don't use leadcore as it's banned most places I fish, but I use Gardner camflex unleaded, it splices like a dream πŸ‘

    Well it would appear extra nights on the bank cost 😬 We are going to look at some cocker pups today, went yesterday, but we all liked the ***** that had been reserved, going to look at some more this morning, looks like we are getting one soon, πŸ˜‚
  9. Something I recently learnt from something I've watched or seen is when using a sausage gun to make sausages, it is better to make the sausages a couple of mm smaller than the table size this apparently makes them roll better as sometimes they swell a little,
  10. Praise the tackle box line test guide, hallelujah, Only once have I bought a line without checking it first fox exocet spod braid and we all know what I think of that πŸ˜‚ I have to say I tried fluoro and went back to mono, just find I have no issues, I tend to stick with Gardner hydrotuff, it's so tough it actually got sent to prison, but it broke out by cutting through the bars with its superb abrasion resistance πŸ‘πŸ‘Œ
  11. I spent some time with the weed rakes yesterday, now I am not. Even sure I want to fish that lake or swim tomorrow πŸ€” I think I am going to just have a good walk round and decide when I see something, I did my tigers yesterday and for some reason I felt I needed an extra bucket of pigeon Conditioner, I think I decided i hadn't gone in heavy enough or something so some swim will be getting some tomorrow πŸ˜‚
  12. I do like the fact they are so small,but I do like to *** about when fishing though so prefer an alarm that sounds, The S9'S seem to get a lot of good reviews though, everytime I get fed up changing batteries on my soniks, I get tempted to buy some as they are rechargeable and last ages apparently, I also like the fact you can change settings from your bivvy,
  13. Brilliant, that will be nice to see it going back to the wild, well done for looking after it πŸ‘
  14. They take a bit of getting used to watch all the vids on you tube, I tend to go with 2.5 to 3 rod lengths shorter than the spot, you just have to cast it as if you want to hit the spot and it pults the bait all over the area,
  15. Not sure i would usually have the overhead clearance to swing a 6m pole about, but you never know it could work a treat 😁 I have used a spoon to throw bait out on a shorter pole but I could never get it that far, I could spread it though 😁
  16. Nice little work cupboard looking good, will look forward to seeing some creations coming from there πŸ‘
  17. I've just blown the budget on a Β£6.99 AD spoon (gone large) and a sabre net float Β£5.99 Total Spend Β£46.73 Should be quite useful though looking forward to trying it out πŸ‘
  18. I don't feel that great today, we tried every ale they had in stock last night and for some reason a couple of apple sourz 😁
  19. If you want to create a spread but don't want to use the throwing stick,get a tfg airbomb, they take a little getting used to but once you do it's a good tool to use that's just a bit different to a spomb
  20. I will use It at least once 😁 It won't be the worst thing I've ever bought I don't think 😳
  21. Thanks Well I went to the pub with a couple of mates last night, we ended up rather tipsy, and it would appear I bought a 6m landing handle when I got home 😁
  22. I'm just trying to work out if this is a good idea or a waste of time πŸ˜‚ I've found a 6m telescopic landing net handle, and you just buy a spoon and float but pros and cons, it will cost about 40 quid all in I can see it being useful within 6m obvs and you stick it out up the bank and cast over it etc but is it just going to be a waste of time and will I end up just deciding to buy an 18m one later on πŸ˜‚ You see at the moment I am doing quite a lot of close in fishing and I can see a lot of uses for it but I also see how it may not be long enough as an all rounder waste of time or good tool?
  23. It is just before Scotland v England in the Euro’s Group game. Kane goes into the English changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum. "What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Scotland. They're [censored]e and we can't be bothered". Kane looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub." So Kane goes out to play Scotland by himself and the rest of the English team go off for a few pints. After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "England 1 - Scotland 0 (Kane 10minutes)". He is beating Scotland all by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on. "Result from the Stadium "England 1 (Kane 10 minutes) - Scotland 1"(Angus McShagnasty 89 minutes)". They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against Scotland!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down." "Don't be daft, you got a draw against Scotland , all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end" "No, No, I have, I've let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes"
