  1. You would need batter mix and an saucepan full of oil but yeah it could be done 👍
  2. Distance sticks were the first revolutionary thing I tried when I got back into fishing have to say I agree they are a brilliant invention 👍
  3. Thanks I do like the curve of a mugga too it is a nice pattern , maybe I will try krank x and mugga continental and see which works best over time 😊keep it simple lol
  4. Thanks Yonny the krank is a pattern I like now, so will go with those I think for now,shame the kamakuras are so bendy as they are super sharp, i am basically just using Ronnie's at the minute keep it simple with a stiff boom and krimps, not sure if it made a difference but I've also used some of the coloured aligners, but I have caught fish with them now so it didn't put them off like I thought it would,
  5. Hi guys Had a couple of hooks straighten out this weekend lost one and landed one but it was lucky the 2nd one , the one I lost I think I may have set the clutch a little tight on, so was probably my fault, but one was a mugga and the other a korda klor, I think I need a thicker gauge hook for the situation, I like the krank, works well on a Ronnie but the kamakura ones just get damaged too easily and the point goes over, I think the rudd must just play with it until its destroyed, so is the krank x a good choice? I'm fishing up to pads so i can't give it too much line but I have found if they just go in a bit they usually come out OK by sinking the rod tip so I don't need to be as heavy handed but obviously I need a strong hook? Any other recommendations? Or krank x?
  6. Will be fine at that sort of range I think, it's quite good for baiting up to things as well because it always drops short so in theory you won't lose them 😂
  7. How far out you fishing that's the only thing it doesnt cast as well as a spomb and I struggle to get it that far, but that's probably me, I'm no Terry Edmunds 😳
  8. That's the thing I was never that accurate with a spomb the odd one goes off target , but with the airbomb you can make a nice carpet of bait to get them moving between mouthfuls, so a slightly off one isnt the end of the world just makes your patch slightly bigger 😂
  9. Too much messing about 😂 Another product I really like is the tfg airbomb, every one always uses a spomb usually while I think there is a place for really tight baiting, I like the spread you can get from an airbomb, and the fact it doesn't actually land right over your spot,, takes a little getting used too, but for me it's a bit of an edge as everyone uses bait boats on the lake I fish.
  10. I enjoyed it was good to be out again, I had baited a few times recently and raked the swim a couple of days before, so the hard work paid off, being confident in your bait seems to be a good thing too 😂
  11. Neither can I I'm trying to do them now but my computer is being a ****
  12. Hurricane Elmo 😂 Last rod standing it's coming in now though all tidy again 😳
  13. The morning after the night before 😴 I'm on 5 fish now, so tired, bites seemed to happen as soon as I dozed off, I haven't completely ruled out a 6th yet but I have got to pack up by lunchtime 😳
  14. That's good going, good luck 👍 I've just had to attempt a rechuck due to no 3 16lb8oz mirror, didn't photo it as all my batteries are running low on my camera need to save it just incase one of the a team wants to visit me 🙏🙏🙏🙏
  15. I do all my proper photos on camera so I have to do all that upload download biz, and I darent do a rod shot as it still looks like a bit of a tip out there 😁
  16. Looks good mate, nice I've just caught another one of those weather has gone a bit moody so it's staying in the retainer for a bit high double though looks a long male fish 😳 it's been a bit hectic, had a bite which straightened out a size 4 mugga which i lost, then my other rod pulled up to the bobbin, managed to hook a blooming pike, got my first one back out and it went again in minutes and that's the latest update still havent got the pike rod back out, could be a busy night i think 😳
  17. Not a bad one either 25lb 6oz, might even have time for another yet 😳
  18. I've got one in the net already, I had only got 1 rod in 😳
  19. That's good then, hope it goes well 👍 I've just made it to McDonald's in time for breakfast, will be at the lake in 20 woo ha 😁
  20. That's brave, I hope you havent upset her recently 😁
