  1. Hi Everyone I came across the above rig at a boot sale , and thought it might be worth a go I've never used a flurocarbon hooklink , I'm particularly wondering how abrasion resistant it would be around snags ? . Ta . 😃
  2. Are you allowed a boat JH ? , only I'm thinking drifting quietly along maybe putting out a carpet of floaters ahead of you ? . 😃
  3. Hello Teo In addition to the other advice , all of which I wholeheartedly agree with , I would wander around and around stalking with mixers / floating pellets hoping to see a Carp or 2 and look to select the biggest . 😃
  4. Hello MS , welcome to the forum . I'm surprised no one has answered your question , perhaps you could help , Nick , as a Shimano man ? . 😃
  5. Hello Mufty I know you said live snails , but what about Dynamit Baits Hemp and Snails Specimen ? ; the video on their website shows a snail hair rigged with a plastic corn topper . 😃
  6. Thank goodness your mate is recovering , Nick . What about what Dave Hedgehog wrote , how are you after the shock of it all Nick ? . 😀
  7. I'll leave the technical stuff to the others , just to say " tight lines , Ginger , go get them " . 😃
  8. You're a better man than he will ever be , Emmcee , he deserved a right slap . I think I would have had a hissy fit and made a fool of myself . đŸ˜ĸ
  9. Did you manage to salvage anything from your trip ? .
  10. Where are you now Mufty ? .
  11. đŸ˜Ŧ that's described as a grimacing face .
  12. My Wife took pain killers for 9 years for her back , 13 different physios. didn't help , but 4 visits to an Osteopath 5 years ago and has never needed another tablet since - and no pain . 😃
  13. How's your back Chill. ? , have the muscles relaxed , or are they still locked up ? . Presumably it was all that long casting and long distance baiting that did it ? . There's a lot to be said for being rubbish at casting , and sticking to the margins ! . 😁
  14. Can you tell us more please Buzz. ? . If I remember correctly ! my Mum was on tramadol before she had a hip operation . 😃
  15. While you're putting the insulation in , Highy , how much will the jacuzzi weigh when it's filled with water ? . 😃
  16. You're a clever little devil aren't you , Highy . I like the look of that jacuzzi to relax in after a stressful days' fishing . 😃
  17. Cheers , Yonny . 👍
  18. Did you try any floaters , trout pellets , mixers etc ? . If you did Capadventurer I don't know what more you could have done , and as you say you did enjoy the sun ! . 😃
  19. Hello Yonny Are you still " Tuffing it out " ? . It wasn't until I read one of Smufters' posts that I learnt about Berkley Connect CM90 and CM70 - how do you rate these lines as a snag line please ? . Ta . 😃
  20. I've got 2 . The 1949 IDP that covers Spain , Ireland , Malta or Cyprus and lasts for 1 year . and The 1968 IDP that covers all other E.U. states ( i.e. France ) and lasts 3 years . 😃
  21. Cheers , Mufty . 👍
  22. As I understand it , a rough rule of thumb is a 1 lb Test curve rod is used to cast a total of 1oz in weight ( which is roughly 30g ) - the 10-30g would be the recommended casting range of your little spinning rod I believe . Personally I would go for a 1 1/2 lb test curve as Nick advises , and then maybe later move on to the stronger rods the others have recommended , the 1 1/2 lb would then be used for floater fishing . 😃
  23. Can you tell us what your " third hand rod " is please - hopefully it still has a transfer on it which tells you what it is , then hopefully we can work out what test curve it is . 😃
  24. Just don't leave Elwood asleep in his car seat while you have a little mouch around the lake if the sun suddenly comes out ! . â˜šī¸
  25. Well if Nige is personally autographing the Nash products that's bound to put the price up . 😁
