thats gonna be a trick to find init the only one i know of is the Nash dwarf spod rod at 9ft, i think its a 4lb Tc and damn expensive for a small rod.

bishops bowl lakes at bishops ichington not far down the road from you http://bishopsbowlfishery.co.uk/directions-2/ Dog lane lakes at Napton again not many miles away http://www.doglanefishery.co.uk/page2.html have fished both on many occasions and if you go bishops then try the smaller lakes first as they are the best to start off, i did white bishop and walworth before moving onto mitre pool. white bishop is a runs water, long and narrow with a depth of max 6ft and in contrast mitre is a pit that goes down to over 50ft in places but has a shelf from 1-2ft at the bank to about 11ft depth at 15-25ft out, any further and you need waders dog lane, when i went the best pool was widgeon lake but my mate who still goes says that they have had a change round and grebe now has carp to 40lb. both good waters and both within 20min drive.

you are starting to remind me of a young lad who came on here like he was the only bloke to ever catch a carp, in fact his avatar name was carphauler and he did love the Bants, strange he dont come round any more. there are some nice folk on here who are quite happy to dispense hard won knowledge and skills, offer up a place to fish and who can have the craick or the Bants with anyone. there are also some who will rip you a new a r sehole for even daring to think you are as good as them (no names,,,yet) wonder which side of the fence you will fall off? remember, there is always time for fishing and so always time to start again

ha!! would be nice but im off to france in 5 weeks so need to save like a biach for the kids to spend only managed two trips since the social

how you doing pal? enjoying your holls?

haha!! im begining to like this kid welcome to the forum where we love to have an exchange of views and bug ger the consequences bud

most 'english' tackle is imported from places like China or Philippines at the moment i reckon. welcome to the forum bud

it would probably be benificial for the community to know the reason behind this chilli, blue light has a shorter wavelength than other colours of the spectrum and tends to scatter easier too. it is also (the scatter effect) enhanced by water and water vapor, brown or amber lenses block blue light better than any other colours and so enables clearer vision where blue light is most prevalent,,, NEAR WATER!! ok back to my day job as major numpty now

or the cycling brands

hahaha!! doubt you will get much response from that post Ben, its over 6 years old nice try tho and welcome to the forum

probably when you nipped over to the social bud, i thought i had whipped em off in time

nice day out Phil, and just incase i have been remiss i will say welcome to the forum.

now there is a great idea, we ask a question and you often get conflicting replies. to come back and give a positive response about which answer worked best not only gives more positive info to the forum but Kudos to the supplier of said info too. well done Richard

same reason as he nails bream to a tree, he dont think!!!

when you tighten down on the knot you can see the loops start to wind round the hook shank, if you hold the hair in the opposite direction to the loops it minimizes the misalignment, baiting the hair first tends to stop most of the twist too.

my post was just a possible suggestion Nick as believe it or not, i have NEVER seen a crayfish in the flesh as we dont get them round here

they have got some right lumps in there bud, a near 50lber out of their waters last week (barden lake). worth the £60 ticket lol

how does this look? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=KORDA+SUPER+WRAP+

i didnt get any of those in my kit, i think a stern email to ridgemonkey is in the offing. I WANT THOSE BITS OF USELESS PLASTIC

i picked up a magmatex last year for £50 from eBay and it is the best bag i have ever had a bit bulky to carry but warm as hell on those cold nights plus it fits to your bed so no creep.

well, heres a novel thought!! why dont you get yourself a fly rod and use them as they were intended? dont mean to sound condescending C9 but just saying, when the carp are on top i have some of the best action ever on the fly rod (and it dont take long to learn) you only need to flick the fly out 30ft or so for some of the most exciting fishing you will ever do.

OO OOH you have sold me, i think im gonna get one oh yeh, i already do hahaha!! gotta agree tho, two wideboys and all your kit too lol

do you unzip the front to give you even more room? i reccon you get almost half a meter more that way lol

+1 for the hurricane 2 man, a little on the heavy side to haul to the bank but well worth the effort, i also have a wideguy bed and could still hold a disco in it
