Nash emperor bedchair bag
elmoputney replied to Findanemperorbag's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
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? -
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 😂

Amen to that lol, I would've been some right horror shows looking back 😂

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 🙄😳😳😳😳😱

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

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 😁 -

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 -

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 👍 -

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 👍 -

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 👍 -
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

I am quite lucky where I am, I do have a lot of options, will keep me busy for a long time yet

That makes sense I guess I never really fish that far to properly test an alarm maybe one day 😂 -
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,

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? -

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
