anybody used a suspender float? i used to make my own but haven't used em this season what do you think of them and how effective do you find them?

weelll, that seals the argument then. i should be out on the bank, not sitting here moping :cry:

two tone works for me,, must have had a dickie batch

yeh, i must admit i find DF to be a bit blunt too. im getting me coat :oops:

S' ok neal, you cant help it if the old b/censored/r is blind they remind me of the circle hook thats prolific on the continent and usa

gonna have to give them a try, cant see any reason for the swept point tho. if that hits bone its already starting to turn

that will be steve ringer as the reason then,,, match fishermen PFTTTTT.

nah, like this go to your library on p/b, click the pic then when it loads if you click the link called 'direct' it will go yellow and 'copied' above the chat box here you will see little icons, take bottom row 9th from the right and click. in the popup box right click and paste, click 'ok' and WOW magic edit about tapatalk, i can never get that to work for me so i u/l to pc when i get home :oops:

si, i have a well known brand net with a fine mesh but i also get this problem from time to time. i put it down to the carp sometimes having a dorsal bone with a small barb that stands out from the fin and while the fish struggles in the net it becomes pushed thru the mesh. a little care and patience soon sees the carp back in the water unharmed i will add tho that my net is a fox warrior s and as far as i know that model has one of the fines meshes available on a landing net.

get an account on photobucket, put your pics in a library on there then put them direct into your post like this thats not me by the way

all of my hooks are Microbarb (well all the ones i use anyhoo). just take a pair of pliers along and if you need to just crush the barb. if you do it right, just grab the barb by the very end and you can form a hump on the hook. while this is no longer a barb i think it still offers some resistance to slippage of the hook. that is MY take on it anyway

haven't landed a chub in over 45 years, can still remember it tho nice fish nick, back to basics too

4.5mm ACE Elements Gorilla Rings are a good choice for this application, saves butchering a swivel

if you shorten the hair, then change your bait later you may find your kicking yourself. i tie 3 or 4 rigs with hairs of different lengths, one to accommodate corn or a single boilie up to a long hair that will take a double 20mm boilie. then all you have to do is snap on a different hook link. any how it only takes half a shake to make one up on the bank to exactly suit what you are doing at that particular time, and if your a tightwad like me you can break it down again and save the hook (after sharpening) and any rings, swivels or putty for another day oh BTW ad of the day is for Barbie Mega Blocks????? go figure

1kg of powder using the above measure (250g to 1ltr) is = +_ 50 large eggs :lol: http://convert-to.com/720/chicken-eggs-5-sizes-conversion-plus-nutrients-values.html google is your friend

just one, swap the split shot for tungsten putty. split shots have a habit of pinging off, leaving your pop up popped right up

what he said you could always hold the hair on the bend of the hook with about 3mm of shrink tube :idea: ignore the line aligner on the eye, thats just my preference :mrgreen:

big perch big perch :lol:

bream lol

hahaha, soooo true

oh thats ok then,i thought "soon he will be giving it a lift out on a bait boat" as apposed to being cruel and chucking it out

i can understand the use of the korda set up but why do you wrap in in a cuddly blanket?? a step to far imo :lol:

i actually wrote a loooong post that basically said "stick with the way you are doing it" it works just as i was about to click 'post' the baby picked up the mouse and deleted it welcome to the forum and just remember, pin yr boilies down

yeh but it do generate some revenue, if 500 anglers around the country use those rigs on any one particular day, they catch an average of 3 fish each and they drop the lead on each one. at around £2.00 per lead and taken over say a six month period that only equates to £18000 so even if the lead isnt dropped on every one. still a lot of wonga init

looks to me like SAFE no longer means safe, its now just synonymous with 'more money in the bank' would be interesting to get danny and kevins take on the SAFETY aspect tho.
