  1. Glad they didn't listen, they've done a lot of good programming 😂
  2. Just re watched the start, yes it may have been the same vid wasn't you was it they had beef with? 😂
  3. No I think that was a the park lake campaign, I will try and find it for you
  4. PB jelly wire is the one I seem to go back to it's lovely to use, and I'm getting into Gardner trick link at the moment, I've tied up a few different rigs up this week, just to do something to chill out 😳 That being said I do own and will use a few others 😁 ESP tungsten loaded stiff and semi stiff (prefer semi stiff I think) Mouth trap Bank tackle semi stiff coated, not a bad braid tbh very usable and reasonably priced I would really like to find a really nice uncoated braid though still? 😂 ESP sink link was good, bank tackle kevlar one is OK, but a real nice soft naturally acting braid would be nice for my bags and bag rigs (which I tweaked last night with a different hook pattern 👀😬😀)
  5. You could always look at mountain warehouse or ski type mounteneering shops they have similar clothes but usually go a bit bigger
  6. I did think that afterwards tbh I might test the stretch against the p line, I have no gripes with the hydrotuff I really want less stretch so I can stick it under trees more, 😂 Tbh the bushwhacker may have to go on hold for now as we've just been shafted by our local council, universal credit is only credit if you don't work at all, because I work my wife is entitled to basically sod all, makes me wonder why we both paid all our taxes for all these years,it's a one way street, I've written a strongly worded email to our local mp this morning, the system is corrupt and I intend to fight the power 😳
  7. My kids went through a bag puss phase it was on amazon prime I think And morph
  8. Only trouble with that they would still go in your garden, 🥴😵🥴🥴
  9. Blimey that is a big bed, how much does it weigh? Looks like it might be a custom one, I take it JRC don't make one either?
  10. Aren't cats the ultimate test of a bait? I thought dogs eat anything? It must be a bad bait if a dog won't eat it 😂 I might leave some out for the neighbours cats and then supersoak them when they come in the garden 😂
  11. Amen to that lol, I would've been some right horror shows looking back 😂
  12. Sadly I doubt his mum knows how dangerous what he did was, filling up your waders in freezing conditions isn't the smartest move is it, still he was lucky this time and he snapped his new £50 perch lure rod and got another one the next day, when did perch rods become a thing 🙄😳😳😳😳😱
  13. And he did a special get in that net for us 👍 Pink almond supreme though winning goo, hopefully I will be doing some boshes this year 🤞 Must get some pink dumbells I think 🤔😁 Retrobaits have just brought these ones out they look pretty special I think https://www.retrobaits.net/product-page/snail-dumbbell-wafters
  14. https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Wolf+icon This may be a guide of price when they are released 👍 looks like a 3 rod set will be £765 which is better 😁
  15. Have you tried the wide or xl NGT bedchair bag? I had a wide cyprinus chair and it fitted that nicely, it's a big bag
  16. Good stuff will look forward to giving it a go thanks,
  17. That's always the trouble with bulk spools, i always find one has less on than the others 😂 I found the tiger line on Johnson Ross also it is over £65 for 3 spools or 250m per reel the 1000m is out of stock in 20lb I just just lashed out and bought the UK p line thanks one quick question does it sink really well and not stretch much? I know it is a bit late but it was a bargain if it works 😁 I seem to remember the guys on carp cast banging on about p line and saying how good it was, Thanks for that, I was hoping someone would have a good word to say, carpology Joe also said it cast well but he seems to say everything is brilliant so you sometimes have to take it with a pinch of salt, I doubt i will need to cast it that far, most of my fishing will be fairly close range this year, I've just bought the P LINE but if I don't like that I think I might get the floorit next 👍
  18. You can get it in 15lb and 18lb now, still only 200m though
  19. Didn't know about tiger line, what lb bs do you normally use? I would probably go for 20lb I would think as I want it to be as strong as possible as i will be doing some snag fishing, I think my options so far are tiger line or diawa floorit, Has anyone used korda kontour? Thanks for the replies all 👍
  20. Thanks for the reply Golden Paws One thing I've spotted this morning whilst looking was soaking it in warm water before you spool it is really meant to help, I usually do this with mono anyway as it seems to go on better, then put it on under tension to spool it on, I use one of those Contraptions you put on a table with a spring so you can add a little resistance whilst winding it on, seems to work OK usually with mono, so maybe that will help, I also read about the regular cleaning and stretching of it, I will be using it on my 2nd spools so I will still have hydrotuff loaded if I need it, I just think it could be a good idea for what I need it for, it will sink, be invisible and low stretch, when I looked at this guide below, the floor it just seemed a little stronger than the rest, fox illusion might not be so bad but I got burnt with their exocet braid that was absolute pony 😭 but strength is no good if it isn't supple and good at the rest of the job too 👍
  21. Hi guys Having recently decided to go bushwhacker crazy, I was thinking I probably want a nice heavy sinking, low stretch,near invisible line to be extra covert (braid is banned otherwise I would) I had a little look at the tackle box line test and this one seemed to come out OK, but has anyone used it before? 20lb seems to fail at 17lb so can cope with some stick and I probably won't use it to cast with It's £40 for a 1000m so before I commit to a fluorocarbon mainline I want to know its going to be OK 😁 I also looked at the Gardner mirage as an option, also if anyone has any recommendations would be nice to hear them Cheers Elmo
  22. I am quite lucky where I am, I do have a lot of options, will keep me busy for a long time yet
  23. That makes sense I guess I never really fish that far to properly test an alarm maybe one day 😂
  24. It is a nice place, I saw a pic of the Ivo lin on Instagram the other day, I wouldn't mind having another go for that, but I also quite fancy some of the other lakes now also, I could see me trying again one day,
