I saw a set on ebay for £300 they were the olden days deluxe ones, 😎 I had mini micron mx and an mmx at the time, I sometimes wish I still did tbh 🙄

I'm going to make up a hypothetical situation now lol, Supposing you were fishing with very slack lines where a drop back was virtually unnoticeable on a roller as the bobbin was nearly on the floor, would the vibration sensor still pick up something where the roller probably wouldn't? The ecu's do look nice but they are pretty expensive if they aren't going to do much my Soniks won't, my Soniks are quite sensitive, which is why I like them, Are they what fox call d tech sensing or something? The mini micron x has that is that more sensitive than a normal roller?

I think I might also wait unless things change, I don't think there is going to be much going on before April I just went over the bridge at St Ives looks very flooded at the moment,

My Soniks work but they aren't very tarty 😂 I keep looking at other alarms but never quite decide so stick with them, I would like to know if the Edwards custom upgrade alarms are any good, I also think I would like a set of nevilles but know deep down they probably arent even as good as my Soniks but they look pretty 😂

Are the delks a lot more sensitive than a normal roller would you say?

Did you see the last one reservoir diaries 3 I think that looked nice

I can't help you myself too much but aren't Carl and Alex from down that way, they have fished quite a few waters that may give you an idea, there was one they did called the reservoir diaries, that place looked pretty cool

I'm not quite sure exactly how vibration sensing works, I understand a roller gets moved by the line being pulled which creates the signal on the roller magnet but I've never had a vibration set does that just work on feedback from the tension in the line or something? They are blooming expensive though, I knew they would be pricey but wasn't expecting that,

This is for the QI range The most expensive alarms I've ever seen, they do look smart though but way out of my price range at £225 per head +£240 for the receiver, wouldn't mind seeing the features and price of the Q range also being released, but it's a strong move pricing above fox and delks top of the range, they do look the bailicks though 😉 These just popped up on the next video afterwards, these look pretty good at a reasonable price and have some decent features £230 for a set of 3 with receiver

New batches in April, that will have a 10-12 month shelf life on them if that helps 👍 If I need some before though I think I can use them before September(subject to an ease in restrictions by the bafoon in the chair) 😢

I emailed the company last night,this batch have a shelf life til July /September, he said they shouldn't really go off but they may lose some of the vitamins, I would probably use them by then if we were allowed out play 😢

Ive listened to a few things where FW talks about Redesmere and his use of singles, he always makes a lot of sense, from what I can remember he started doing this so he could get to the fish by casting further than everybody else but couldn't bait up that far, but he is always great to listen to, and he makes you think, he always seems to be able to think one step ahead, great man I haven't got my head round zigs either yet 😂

I think it's probably worth waiting until we are allowed out again, also I should think once the weather warms up these will sell quicker giving you a longer life hopefully might be worth asking though? , I only found that out the other day lol I was reading something and I found out Pellets had a shelf life, I didn't even realise I've still got half a binful of carp Pellets they might be floaters by now 😂

I think I am always happiest fishing over bait, I haven't got any confidence in singles, I can just about handle casting a solid bag out on its own, I just think how will they find a single bait in all this water , I think even if I was putting it right in front of there nose I would want to add a few freebies if I could, but i know it works for a lot of people I think one of the reasons I am presently obsessing about a bushwhacker is that it will allow me to fine tune how much I should put out for a bite and also it won't hurt with accuracy and in theory with a scoop size of 900g i shouldn't be able to massively overdo it in one hit 😂

I liked the look of the best ones too, and with a name like that got to be a winner 😁

All shipping included in the price 👀value seems very decent

Do you think they were confessing his sins ?

https://bulkfishpellets.co.uk/ Has anyone used these before they look like they would be pretty good Pellets, and pretty reasonablly priced also, I quite like the look of them

Silently or chanting it at you? 😂

I bet I could 😂

The point is still popular lol, I've never caught in it tbh, people seem to do it better than me with boats these days 😁 They Definately still like hiding out the back though near the coaches The car park is now pat and ians house he has moved up there, It has Definately changed up there probably a lot weedier than it used to be but i still enjoy it, nice and quiet usually, some nice fish in pingrees, I wouldn't mind a go at those this year, Well I've sold some more stuff tonight my old fox spod rod and 2 old spod reels, I now have some cash for a Bush whacker 😬 I can see me spodding less if I get one I might need to sell some more stuff to buy some extra sections though 😁

Where is this drop off you speak of 😁 I've noticed there are shallower bits on the far side of the point,there is quite a deep channel through there, I think your old fav swim was one they call church with the channel that goes into the main lake to the left, always busy lol I've found a lot of my old spots are overgrown these days, I used to have a great one off the end of an island which had a drop off but nowadays its pretty unfishable as the pads have taken over shame because I would have had 3 hot spots in that swim last year rather than 2 lol Reed lake is pretty much a safe zone now so overgrown, and nobody wants to be the first to make it fishable but I'm tempted to rake it, the way I see it if they arent safe there they will push out into the lake, I might be able to have a go for a bit till I get rumbled if I do it 😬 I think spodding can be hit and miss tbh I would rather not and use a pult or stick if I can, like I've said I'm happier to if the swim has been getting a regular feed,

It certainly has benefits to people fishing the same swims, like they pretty much let me get on with it,also it means I can make use of the the less popular ones, but it gets boring seeing the same swim week in week out, I think this year I just fancy making the most of the whole lake there will be chances everywhere, last year I found so many bubblers and couldn't or didn't capitalise on them and I found one of the big commons whilst walking about last year, just sitting in the margins, if I had my kit with me I may have been able to target it, gets a bit like I am going through the motions after a while, 😬

The fox grappling leads work OK for clearing weed does take a lot longer but they do thin it out a bit, if you kept casting it onto the spot and retrieving it would help make your line lay better, I tend to do anything like this when there is no one around and preferably when I'm not fishing myself,and usually when I plan to prebait, I guess a park lake makes all that trickier though 😭

I'm very much the same lol, I can easily blow a session in advance, I think my strengths are probably prebaiting, and my usual idea is I WILL make that spot a feature lol, to be honest it does work out OK usually but I could be fishing better whilst building up those spots, Part of the trouble with the lake I am on people tend to fish certain swims so you get stuck in a routine to an extent, you have a look round think about what's left and free and if that happens to be the swim you are used too it's easy to fall into that one, you can drive to the spots also so being quieter will help too 😁 This year I am planning to fish off the Barrow and spend a while walking and looking for opportunities, rather than waiting, and hopefully once I get the Bushwhacker I will be able to make some really good spots for myself and just regularly walk round and feed them up, this way I will learn a lot more and be fishing for a bite at a time, and taking the opportunity to catch more rather than being held in one swim, there are always little spots tucked away that don't get fished too often
