I would normally but, I can either buy them sharpened or sharpen them myself for the same money, I still touch them up a bit and make sure they are ok before they go out but they are usually OK tbh
-
I didn't do those myself, I can sharpen them, but I bought those ones from ibhooks,

That sort of shift change should be illegal, I have to do 2-10pm monday to Thursday then 10-6pm just the 4 hours earlier really throws me out of whack, perhaps I should be going for day naps, might be a good idea 💡
-
If it isn't going to be used that often, this might not be too bad for you, you could make an offer and probably get it quite cheap, I haven't got one of these myself though but I have a cyprinus bunker and it's been great so far, https://www.cyprinus.co.uk/collections/tactical-mongoose-bivvy/products/cyprinus-mongoose-tactical-2-man-bivvy-overwrap-bundle

I slightly hate myself for taking a chair + bed on an overnighter, but I can't sit on a bed as it does my back in, but I would probably really dislike myself for taking a bed on a day session 😁

These are pretty much my rigs this year top to bottom Bottom bait /wafter stiff rig Gardner 25lb trick link,i might get some 15lb too 😁 PVA bag rig (smaller krank type hook this year) Bank tackle braid but might get some Gardner braid, I like Gardner stuff at present Pop up multi rig, with whatever coated braid I choose first lol either bank tackle, jelly wire, or ESP tungsten all seem to work fine 😂 Nice and simple stuff 👌
-
I guess it depends on the rig you are using them for, I like the stiff rigger hooks for my stiff rigs,these will be similar but maybe with a better point, so a worthwhile investigation to me(or an excuse just to buy some more hooks😂) 🤔 Also I actually like a twister type hook(not chod) for my multi rigs too I like the squareness and the angle I get with shrink tube lol I suppose if we all used the same thing tackle companies wouldn't last long 😂
-
There is a small barb if you look closely at them 👍
-
You ain't catching these days if it isn't complicated 🤔

Just seen an advert on Instagram for the new ESP chod hammers, I will be interested in those I think, they would work nicely on my stiff bottom rig 🤔 They have a nice point like the trig hammer
-
That's it, now I just need to remember how to get there its been so long 😂😢
-
Cheers guys I doubt I will use it anyway tbh unless I get really hard up for ideas, I don't want to get into faffing with bait and rigs this year 😂 I AM keeping it simple 🤕
-
Only a swivel and the spring of the chod monofilament, in theory the swivel should still turn but I did wonder if it could end up not hooking correctly

Pics up in the garden or it doesn't count 😁 -
Have a look at my post below in this section where do you start with Goo, that may help you a bit, I haven't used any of my hookbaits yet but they smell good 😂 It is Pva friendly and can be used with mesh , I've just been soaking a few tubs of hookbaits so far though, I will dribble some on mesh though
-
This is Julian cundiffs latest version of the multi rig, like you say it isn't so reusable, but it's also been my go to pop up rig for a good few months now, been more than happy with its performance so far tbh, you can even attach a small mesh bag if you want, I haven't used it for anything other than a pop up though 👍 This is going to be my bottom bait rig this year I think, personally I think the hookbait acts better and turns the hook faster on this set up (this is only my opinion though, still unproven)😁
-
I just googled slip d rig and found loads of different ones which one in particular are you trying? Also are they just like a multi rig?
-
I think I've sussed it 😁 https://photos.app.goo.gl/N6tUL8YV7Bw7nAzc9
-
So the long d version did you still use a swivel or bait screw? I guess the idea is the bait blows down to the swivel so it can't be used to loosen the hook? Good idea, 👍 The thinking behind mine is it just keeps springing back into the mouth like it's on a spring 😂 I wanted to add a video but I need to change the file type or something 😒
-
That's not a bad shout, I have tried a bit with zigs but never confidently, I was going to use them a bit more this winter but that hasn't materialised so far, Chods I have also tried a bit I can see me using those more often I think, I should have more last year tbh, but didn't quite see how useful they can be, This is my so solid chod rig 😁 it's basically like a normal chod but with a massive D that you use to hold the bait on with, basically the bait won't blowback like any other rig and in theory will be super tough to eject? I would be interested to hear thoughts on it BTW my thoughts on it are that it could be revolutionary or completely terrible 😁
-
Sounds like worthwhile research 👍
-
Neither have I 😂
-
I'm pretty much the same I made a really zany version of a chod rig last year, in my head it's probably, really, really, difficult to eject, but I've never had the balls to try it 😂

Nash bushwhacker pole ?
elmoputney replied to elmoputney's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I decided to take your advice and leave the pole, 12kg of Retrobaits Shropshire Gold ordered (already got some and don't want to overload the freezer) along with a kilo of matching stick mix some liquid and some of these wafters couldn't resist they look smart 😍 I will be ready once we get the green light 😂
