Intrigued by the hydrolink. Will have to have a look. Cheers for that.

Not used Kryston before. Thanks for that, will have a look. [emoji106]

Never thought of N Trap!! Cheers for that!

Yep. Never had a real problem up until recently. Maybe just iffy section? Finished the spool and just not as much confidence in it anymore, just considering a change.

Hi All, I have been using two tone coated braid hooklink for a while now but I have had a few issues recently such as breaks, knots breaking when testing (The knots themselves are tied correctly!) and fraying easily. Can anyone recommend a good all round material please? My lakes have plenty of weed but with silty pitches. Cheers

Came across this today that I found interesting. Not sure it's quite as revolutionary as they say but it's an interesting innovation in lead systems and would be interested to actually have a play about with one to see just how effective they really are http://www.angletec.co.uk/dynamic-lead-system.html. What do people think?

Yep, think the cats are pushing 30-40 although you dont here of many captures. Had a great season on Geneva one before last but couldn't seem to do a thing right last year. 6 islands an interesting place. Some big carp in there too. Tight lines. If I get any info on Docking will let you know.

Yep, will be on Nar Valley when it reopens. Hoping for a better season on there than last. Was awful for me! No carp at all. is that Willowcroft Pentney or Wisbech way?

Will be certainly slimming down that's for sure. Mad the Mount of stuff I had in my bag but think most of the weight came from all of the leads I had "just in case".

Is it just me or does everyone else take the kitchen sink with them fishing? I have been sorting my gear out ready for a couple of 48 hour sessions coming up and can't believe the rubbish I had in my bag "just in case"! If there had been a thermonuclear war while I was away I reckon I would have had the gear to survive it. No wonder I am always squeezing everything into my car and it takes me ages to setup/pack away...but that's another thread altogether. I reckon I should be built like Arnie the amount I have!

Thanks for that. There was a few lads on it last night but was late and pouring so didn't want to disturb them! I know there's a few cats and some carp in there but no idea how to get on. Will have a word in post office. Cheers.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know anything about Docking Angling Club and their lake just outside Docking please? Can't seem to find any info other than on Geocaching websites! Cheers all.

Aha. Thanks for that, I was beginning to doubt myself.

I don't know why I have never thought about this before but on the login page for the forum there are some articles and newsletters but the issues only go up to 2011 and I am sure when I first registered for the forum there was an online tackle shop too. Why did the monthly articles stop? Seems a real shame as I have read some and found the, both interesting and informative. Also, please tell me that I have not gone totally of my rocker and that I didn't imagine an online shop a few years ago! What has happened to it? Wasn't sure where to post this so guessed!

Thanks for that. Had a ride over Thursday and met Chris. Gave me some good info. Going to head over in next few weeks. thinking of fishing it until Nar Valley reopens. Been fishing Pentney as my back up but fancied a change. Mind, if it gets sold the new owner could stop all fishing as there is no protective covenant on the lake! Usual rigs and bait?
