too late, peed myself

c'mon then stevo, how did it go?? im practically peeing myself with anticipation

Death metal bands eh!! Who knew [emoji38]

i listened all the way thru, i got the forgotten youth with an existentialist wafer of truth following the putrid sight of lies bleeding thru the teeth of tomorrow,,,,, or sumat like that

gotta say matey, in all my years of fishing i have never had the pleasure of catching a zander nice looking fish btw :wink:

kids arguing who ordered the milkshake and who gets the coke with the mackie D

heya jimmboy, in the midlands where i live bikes are now out of season, we switch to plugging for shopping trolleys down the local cut in late may but tend to catch more damned pike. does my head in it do!! coat getting :wink:

only problem with this scenario is the whole thing, didnt the OP say particles are banned? i would find out what the smallest acceptable pellets the owner allows then bomb about 3 or 4 kilo in a couple of days before my intended session.

MMmmmm carp on the fly, better than lemon meringue pie

OOooohh dear!

Funny you should say that nm, im out at the moment and using Cell on a lake that i have always struggled on. 8 fish so far and still 18 hours to go

if its electrical maplins will have it (at a price) also if they dont i believe they will make it up for you. i have had them make up sata extention leads and other stuff before now

Its ok being stickied but it is better if its on the front page

BUMP!! micro barbs are the way to go but as nick said, "this thread needs to be on top"

try using a knot that you dont have too much friction when tightening down like a palomar, or use plenty of lubrication. i use KY for lube er spit for lube and plenty of it, also make sure that you put equal tension on the standing and the tag ends.

I did say good quality ones lol

Joking aside, I have found that good quality nail clippers are better than most supposed 'propper' braid scissors

had these years now and never failed me

someone please explain to me how a slack line has better indication than a tight line? surely if you have a slack line with all the complications that this entails (slight coils and contour following to mention but two) the spare line has to be pulled tighter before you get the slightest beep on your alarms, giving the carp long enough to do one. having a 4oz housebrick for a bolt would also (imo) aid the dumping of the hook unless it was preternaturally sharp. whereas a tight line gives a beep even if the bait is just nudged away from you and add in a heavy running lead and it really doesn't matter which way old Cyprinus dodges you get a signal. also i feel that a tight line on a lake with a pretty even bottom you can add on a back lead with no detriment to bite indication, water acts as a lubricant on line so wet line thru a wet backlead clip = no resistance... again IMO.

Never used anything but running inlines and razor sharp hooks, strangly enough never had a problem either

i would say that it could do almost as much damage in the wrong hands mate

Dont even have a runring, i only use inlines

I think he may be non native tim and as such leadcore is probably an improvement lol. My tackle is as basic as i can get it, mainline has tail rubber then lead slid on, then #8 kwiklink. Onto that i plop my hooklink of the day and out it goes.. simples

it is one of many that i have gathered together in a gallery of horror in my research into the effectiveness of leadcore as a leader Tim. if you zoom on the pic you can make out where the original hook was in the corner of the mouth and the leader has slid under a gill plate then just sawed up thru the body as the fish has struggled to free itself. nice init. and that is the reason i dont use leaders of ANY kind
