That sounds like just the sort of bait that Blue would use with his vintage tackle . 😃

Excellent , that's just what I wanted to read , Highy . I've read reviews online , but it's so much better to get a review from someone I " know " , and trust . I don't know why you are not able to buy a Bait Boat at the moment , but I'm going to make a sneaky purchase 😁

Thanks very much , Ouch , for your detailed reply , it's very helpful . 😃

Hello , Ouch. I use a ready tied ESP Gripper Combi Rig for my pop ups which gives me a fairly high pop up - about 2" . I seem to remember Nick favouring a low pop up , and would that be the same for you ? . Lastly , do you think the Spinner Rig has replaced the Ronnie Rig ? . Thanks 😃 Spinner Rig , rather the Ronnie Rig

Hi , has anyone used the above bait boat , and if so what did you think of it please ? . 😃

What a sad tale , Ukfrosty . I hope that the replies to your post have cheered you up a bit . I wonder how deep is your lake ? . 😃

" As the water warms up, the bottom 'turns over'. A layer of algae silty stuff floats up from the lakebed, hits the surface. You will see what looks like little patches of a thin layer of floating lichen covered in tiny bubbles. " Ooh , thanks for that reminder , Nick . 😃

Well that's an interesting question , Nube , I'm looking forward to the replies . Personally I like the water temp. to be over 7C . It's getting lighter in the mornings , and staying lighter longer in the evenings , so if we can have some sun to wake up the aquatic insect life for the fish to feed on ? .

So how are you supposed to make critical decisions working those hours , Ouch ? .

Sounds like a right Psycho. , lucky she didn't take a knife to you , Ouch , because that would have hurt . 😁

Hi Nick I thought it was you that previously said a coloured line was more supple as the dye softened it ? .

I'm not allowed to use braid on my lake , even for marker / spod work . 😞

Thanks , fellas , that's very helpful . 👍

Hi Everyone I'm loading my Reels up with fresh line , but what breaking strain for ; ( a ) Controller Float fishing ? , and ( b ) Freelining close in ? . My lake holds Carp up to about 25lb , with lillies , and overhanging trees . Thanks . 😃

Listen to your Wife , and buy her some flowers for being such a sensible lady . 😄

Hi Elmo If they do float why not use them for a spot of floater fishing ? . Chuck a mixed handful in , some sink , some waft , some rise up to the surface where your ( Elmos' ) artfully presented surface bait is waiting to be gulped down . 😁
-
Well if it's too cold for a Northern lad I don't feel such a Southern Softie for staying at home , and keeping my gear clean and dry . 😁

Elmos' Wife will have to grease him up , like they do for English Channel swimmers ! . 😁

Hi Elmo . I bought a Baiting Spoon for a particular margin swim , then the bailiff cut the tree down 😡 . I usually carry the B.S. in the back of the car , just in case , as sometimes I need it to tuck my bait into little margin spots where others may not be able to put a bait ? . 😃

Hi Jh92 Well when you add up the cost of all the bits you are getting they are £180 worth , but if you went to your local independent tackle shop you may be able to cut a deal - I did . How much is postage ? . 😃

I've looked at the MPS heads before as they reminded me of the Nash slapheads . At the moment I use Gardner Nano Bugs , as I like the light weight of the bobbins and the cords . I expect you have given a lot of thought as to why you should match the MPS heads with Cygnet arms , or did you just ask HIghy , the " indicator King " ? . 😁 😃
-
Well IMO , Elmo I would throw that devil in the lake and stay on your bait , but maybe reduce the size . After all your hard work ( with some lovely results ) , push on next year and catch more , and bigger fish . 😃
-
I didn't enjoy nights , felt it messed with my body clock . 😃
-
What Bobbins are they , Elmo ? . 😃
-
I'll put my orange Tutti pops up back in my bait bag , thanks . 👍 😁
