I think I remember Chris Ball writing in the little book he wrote with Brian Skoyles that he used 6lb ( ? ) Maxima paired with a 9ft. Seeker rod to catch carp up to 30lbs . I might pull on my big boy pants , and use 10lb Hydrotuff , because I stress about snags , and I don't know if I have the cojones to go down to 8lb .😱 Just a case of balanced tackle I guess ? . 😃

Good grief , if it isn't that rusty , old , Iron . How are you , Newmarket ? . 😃

20 yards or so and crack on. Yipee ! . Thanks fellas , that's saved me time , and money . 👍

Thanks very much for all the answers , fellas . Now I'm wondering as 2024 was a disrupted year for me , and I only went fishing 20 times should I put fresh line on my reels , or am I just being lazy ? . I guess , at the end of the day it's your line , and hook that land the fish , so I shouldn't try to save time ? . 😃

You mean they don't stock sharks in your lake , Blue ? 😁 . So use my through action 1 1/2 t/c rod , and 10 lb Hydrotuff to absorb the power of all these monster carp with a passion for prawns that I'm gong to catch , Blue ? . 😃

That's great thanks , Blue . So I can see me margin fishing a Prawn on my 9' 11/2 t/c fibreglass rod with 15lb line ? , and a Sz.6 hook ? . 😃

Impressive . I didn't know we had an intellectual amongst us , Elmo 😁 .
-
Thought provoking post , Blue . So do you buy ready peeled Prawns , or whole Prawns , and how would I hook them please ? .
-
Thanks Elmo , and Nick , sound advice there , many thanks . 😃

Hello Everyone . It's time to put new lines on my reels so I thought I would carry on using Hydrotuff , but I have heard RigMarole are bringing out some new products , and I wondered if that included bringing back their SLS Specimen Tough ? . Also what about the line for my controller , and free line floater fishing ? ; I'm currently using Korda Kruiser Control . Any thoughts please ? .

Do you mean us Pensioners , young man ? 😁

That reminds me of " Jaws " , and yes I'm weird 😁 .

For goodness sake don't get trapped in your bivvy , and get blown into the lake . 😬
-
Well in that case I'm guessing that the pegs on your lake won't have overhanging branches so bad that you would need a 6ft. rod , unless there are very tight , underhand cast margin spots ? . Personally I don't have enough spare cash to buy a 6ft. rod that I would seldom , if at all , find a need for . 😃

You mad fool 😱 .

Do you have to stick religiously to your swim on your lake , Jules ? , or can you go " off piste " , crawling through the undergrowth where the monsters may lie ? .

Or Ikea if your other half has dragged you there 😁. -
Yes , I would like to sit in the Solar and Nash chairs to compare them as they both look so similar , apart from the bar at the front which is lower on the Nash .
-
Hi Everyone Today I looked at the Solar Sofa Chair , but Solar also do a Compact version ( not in stock ) , but looking online the Nash Indulgence Eperor Chair looks very similar . What are your views please ? . 😃
-
How are you , Nick , all of what's been happening must be effecting you ? .

4 , and a Pole ! , Money bags 😁

Like the others say , Nick , sorry for your loss

Hello Jules I use Garcia Mitchell 301 reels , and I always have my anti reverse off . Perhaps you have the clutch on your 410 set to give line easily ? . I'm worried that if you get a violent bite your lovely new rod would go flying . 😃
