  1. I was going to suggest a Multi-rig , but couldn't work out how you would attach the hair ; then along comes Nick to answer that question ! 😃. What I would say though is I use a Chod Hook , i.e. an Outurned Eye , for my pop ups ( thanks Kev. ) , but others on here swear by a Curve Shank Hook ( inturned eye ) . I guess you experiment and choose what works for you . 😃
  2. I'm guessing Public Liability Insurance if you actually ran the fishery yourself ? .
  3. Are you thinking about your planned Spring '25 Social , Elmo ? . 🤔
  4. That all makes sense to me , Nick . If it isn't nuisance Bream it's Pike , what is a poor Carp Angler to do ! 🙄 .
  5. Not Hydrotuff then , Nick ? . Is it because you are going for distance rather than a snag line ? .
  6. A chunky for Mr Chunkey 😁
  7. Thanks , Highy . I'll give them a trial over this weekend with all these weather warnings around . 👍
  8. I find the Met Office consistently under estimates the temperature . Don't dis Carol tho' or I'll have to give you a slap , Nick . 😁
  9. You mean a fine upstanding heart of oak man such as yourself , Elmo ? . 😁
  10. Yes , that's what Framey was saying now , and has said before . 😃
  11. Here's to a quick recovery for you , Nick . 😃
  12. Hope the pre-op goes well Nick , and you then get an early date for your operation . 😃
  13. I guess the fishing is slow , Nick ? 😀 . I hope Sky is managing to keep cool .
  14. Ah , I've missed seeing Super Dog , not so much Highy . 😁
  15. Ooh , I've never considered / seen that tweak before , Kev. , I'll definitely give that a try . 😃
  16. Thanks , Kev. Yes my Boom section has a loop at both ends . I also have a break behind the loop knot extending back about 5mm , with my counterbalance weight 3mm back up the coated section of the braid . 😃
  17. Hi Kev So I have made ; 7" Esp Tungsten Loaded Semi Stiff boom section with a 1" loop . No.6 Korda Choddy . Nailed 2 Skimmer Bream in the middle of the bottom lip , and a little Tench , and a few Carp 😃 . I have used the Kryston Non Slip Loop Knot for the loop , but it's a little fiddly ( I'm a simple soul ! ) , so I wondered what is the best Loop Knot ? . 🤔
  18. All the best for today , Nick . 😃
  19. Another Elmo ? , now you're talking of world domination ! . 😱
  20. I can just picture Yonny shaking his head in disbelief ; Yonny due to family commitments can't go fishing , and I'm handed perfect conditions , and then I bottle it ! . Lesson learned then chaps . I did have a poorly toe that I thought I would rest ; now it's Nick's turn to shake his head as he still battles on with all his health problems . 😔
  21. I hate you , Yonny ! . 😁
  22. Hi Everyone I'm kicking myself for not going fishing today , but after 2 days of rain I'm trying to convince myself that the fish wouldn't be biting anyway ; would they ? . 🤔
