my usual tactic for floaters is to 1) get em feeding pref in a tight circle so they are competitive 2) toss them one mixer at a time so that they are snatching at it 3) flick one out with a hook in close to the feeding end of the fish 4) as soon as it goes in the mouth carpy will turn away and you give a sharp strike 5) enjoy the ride oh yeh, edit to say that you get a better presentation using a fly tied imitation, the hook is invisible and they float. if you get some meaty glug in a spray bottle and give a squirt every now and then too dont hurt

Nah bud, just need a £10 lol Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

i have been let down by atomic hooks tenner please yonny

you really wanna be careful doing that stevo, if you have a really good sneeze the phone could shoot out of the grip in your butt and end up in the lake mate

they are going for £60 on teabay but thats for new. gotta say tho, an alarm that bomb proof (works underwater??) would be living in my tacklebag

I now actually use a Nikon D3200 dslr camera with a tripod stand and bulb remote. i went down the mat shots with the phone and progressed thru whistlecam and finally got to where i am now (just have to remember to charge the damn battery lol) but i do have literally hundreds of really good shots from my phone samsung s5 gives you 16 mp with auto focus and hdr so quality is not an issue unless you intend to frame them

they are all good in their own way, i just suggested that one as i find it easy to just pose and then whistle, then whistle again if you feel you need a better shot or a different angle. horses for courses really

if you have a good camera on your phone i can tell you a way that will cost you less than £15. 1) get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262467070101 2) download an app called 'whistle cam' from your app store 3) clip the swan neck to a bucket and insert your phone, put phone in selfie mode on camera and check your position in relation. 4) when ready for piccy you put phone in holder and start whistle cam, pose, whistle and wait 3 secs. 5) done if you hadn't already guessed it is called whistle cam cos you activate it by whistling a sharp rising note oh and by the way, welcome to the forum

haha! take out the cube and you almost got a slipknot

1) bog standard hair rigged mono (cut from whatever my mainline is at the time) but connected to the lead swivel with a lower breaking strain loop to form a weak point. 2) hinged semi stiff rig for pop ups 3) combi rig. first one because sometimes you just cant beat going back to the start as i find it can and does trip up the beasties plus it can be used with all baits and most methods too. hinged semi stiff rig with the hinge formed by peeling back the coating and a little tungsten putty added, i like to play with pop ups (and even fish with them sometimes) and the coated braid will make it harder for mr carpy to deal with. the ESP has a nice fine diameter and i find it easy to tie plus it will accept most knots too. combi rig, why? i dont know really but i have 3 rods so why knot my reel line at the moment is ESP olive in 15lb, pretty fine at 0.35 and is hard to spot when under water, sinks fast too, has good abrasion resistance and damned good knot strength and so it makes a good hooklink too, provided you build in a weak spot that is and so i use a short loop of 8lb to connect to the swivel, the hook will be a #6 or #4 armapoint ssbp or sssp in microbarb, sometimes with a kicker sometimes knot hinged rig will be ESP two tone to a armapoint lsc micro or a gardner Mugga in #6 with the bait as a popup mounted either on a KD or a blowback rig. lastly, i am currently experimenting with combi rigs and the one i am tying atm is with ESP stiff rig bristle with a two tone hooklink. i take a #4 ssbp and a 6" length of two tone, strip the braid completely and form a knotless with hair, put on a kicker. take the stiff rig and put a 1" bend in then thread the braid thru the bend and whip 6 turns away from the hook eye, come back over the whips with two turns and back thru the bend the same way you go in, dribble and draw tight then cut off the tails, add tungsten putty to the whipping and then add a quik clip to the other end and steam straight. make the hooklink part as long or short as you need to. stiff section more or less ensures that your bait is presenting + it has the added benifit of acting like a spring to reset your bait after an aborted pickup.

christ mucca, no wonder your run ragged, slave all day cleaning out and feeding then all night from 10pm till 4am running the zoo? i do hear that you get a free baby plush lop with every ticket too? i will have a blue eyed one plz

may sound like a stoopid question tim but what use do you intend it for?

i had the newfangled ones that came with a powerpac

hiya bud!! welcome to the forum, i used to use a coated braid with a long supple hair and hair rig the worm then inject a little air with a syringe, you have to balance the worm with enough air to float the hook but the downside was having to change your bait every 30 min or so cos the air leaked out slowly. hope this helps,,, Jon

then last year i got some of them new fangled electric thingies

pennies over an enamel dish with a fairy liquid top weighted with lead wire for a drop back indicator

crayzie but i like it

i dont normally comment on the music as its just there to enjoy or ignore but, when i first saw this i had to at her footwork. BUT!! then i found out that she is french and that has got to excuse her, and then i found out that she is heavily influenced by the london g a y scene. if you put all the things aside that i think she has against her as a freakpop artist and just listen to the music and lyrics then all things considered she is damned good ps. fixed your link for ya

i need one like yours snoozer, my arms seize up after 200 yds so its stop go all the way to the car park
