I've been watching this instagram short and this comedian does post match interviews for things like dates and Christmas board games, it makes me chuckle so I thought I would do a fishing one 😂

Will do next time thanks for the tips. I think it's been a good learning curve this weekend. I made some mistakes but got the result, will regroup and be ready to go again next time,its a long season just got to kick on now and take the positives, and hopefully we can be there or there abouts at the end of the season 😂

Bought some more zig stuff today Atomic zig bugs and kickers red and black Thinking anglers barrels brown and black and some more size 8 hooks Some 12lb zig line I think I've caught the zig bug (get it)

Ha ha I somehow accidently turned vibration on this weekend I had to Google how to turn it off was doing my head in 😂 Nah small and simple love em, I get tempted by snag backs from time to time but haven't yet.

I had some optonics, they always use to end up tilting to one side. I've seen the new atts with speaker they look awesome and sound great too. Come with snag backs as standard they look mint.

Thanks, the reason I doubted myself was that I had dismissed them as single bleeps and not even bothered checking them for clues tbh, which is something I should have done in hindsight, it's all a learning curve still and good that I am learning, next time I will keep the tips out the water and will be looking for the clues. You might notice the line pick up before the alarm fishing slack too, I've hit into fish before I've even had a bleep before watching the line, it's a good way to spot what's going in the swim. I love short range fishing watching for any little sign, nothing beats it tbh,Good luck .

Good luck, The swans and ducks seem a lot more active than the fish at the moment, I still think they are chasing warmth.

Yeah it seems very safe, worst case scenario, you leave a rig in a fishes mouth, I was impressed when I saw it.

I once taught the owner of that golf club how to hit a ball 😂 they had an open day and I went with the in laws, had 3 pints in the bar then we all went to the driving range, I was hitting the balls miles with a driving iron (that I chose because I had never used one) and the owner and the bro in law couldn't get close 😂 I was on fire that day, couldn't beat the satisfaction level from that day, so have never played anything other than crazy golf since 😂 I am not claiming I was good BTW, I wasn't but he was terrible 👍

With 2 magnet rollers? I do much prefer the 4 mags tbh, 6 would be overkill for normal fishing I think. But might be useful if max sensitivity is required, I think it's too easy to just write a single bleep off as an anomaly, whereas 2 bleeps would make you notice, When I was at the Essex show I got shown the PB Products hit n run lead clips, I haven't tried them yet but they kind of act like a running rig, the fish can't use the weight of the lead to discharge the hook, quite different and I am an easy sale so naturally I bought some 😅

As alarms I love them tbh simple and great, not sure how much they will change the sensitivity as the 4 mag roller is every 0.5cm and 6 is 0.33cm so essentially the 6 mag roller is 17mm more sensitive. I think a lot of it is me adjusting to check out every single bleep when zig fishing as in hindsight I feel I may have missed a few chances. I also had my rod tips underwater which won't help me see what's going on, learning all the time thanks OldBoy

OK cool let us know what you find out, I have an in law up that way, might be a way of getting an extra fishing trip in 😂

I have used the 2 and 4 (always use now) has anyone used the 6 magnet roller wheels, I had a couple of single bleeps on my zig rods that I am starting to think may have been bites in hindsight as I was fishing bow string tight tines, was thinking 6 might be better for zig fishing can anyone tell me if they noticed much difference between 4 and 6 please?

Great to get them into fishing, my daughter was with me when I caught this one, fortunately it didn't provoke a strong desire to catch one herself 😂 but it's good to get them into it and outdoors so if that's what it takes, good luck.

Hi mate welcome to the forum, there is a website on Google, nick has linked it, might be worth going to have a look if you are not too far away, sometimes websites stay open even if the place has closed, best to find out with your own eyes if you can.

Fair enough thanks for sharing. Have you looked at proper job pop ups, if I could only use one it would be these tbh. KLS in washed out pink a personal favourite,but tbh on their day they all work. I have tried and own lots of pop ups(I have a bit of a problem😂) and now the only ones I take are proper jobs and innovate bait.

Name and shame, I would also complain if you don't think they are any good.

Ha ha, the kids call it a victory flag I believe 😎😱😅

It was tight to begin with so pulled 3 or 4 beeps and the tip was bouncing, so I knew it was on, was weird how little I felt because of the lead though, I didn't see it before it beeped as I was trying to pack up lol but a pleasant disturbance none the less 😂

And finally I get to join in a catch report. I've been trying to come to terms with zig fishing for the last few sessions, probably a bit late to the party but finally it's paid off, saw a showing fish at range and pinged one at it last ditch attempt, but as the lead hit the water a few seemed to be disturbed, so I chucked another one at them too, finally after a night of fishing like a bit of a noddy, I was in, i had tried fishing on the deck, spodding over zigs, and all I needed to do was put one in the right place, it was too close to hometime to really do much about it but finally I can catch em on zigs. strange fight on the zig as the lead didn't discharge, I was petrified lol but luckily my mates son came along at the right time to help me net it and photo it. But I've done it I've caught one on a zig,and a nice one too buzzing

Welcome to the forum.

Hand of god arrived, just fired some imaginary baits in the garden they went miles tbh. I definately don't think I'll regret getting the 8ft, you can feel the flex pushing the fictional baits further.

Only way to know is test it and have a good look. Personally I don't like to take chances with hooklink so I would need to be confident it won't fail on me before I used it

Was it one of these nick? 😂😎
