i once knew a Leila, not one bit carpy but could trout pout like a champion

welcome to the forum Ryder i use a set of 3 fox warriors of which one was sold as a dedicated marker rod, two main at 2.75 Tc and the marker is 3.25 Tc, believe me when i say that marker rod is always used as my distance rod, i can chuck between 75-100 yds with the 2.75s without trying and that is usually about my range for fishing accurately but then when i have set my traps the marker rod gets pub chucked at a distant feature (just for luck ;)) and 150+ is nowt,, saying that it shed an eye ring last weekend as the braid frapped round the eye and i had a loaded spomb on at the time, nearly wrenched the damn rod out of my hands when it locked up

think you might find that advice to be a tad late bet he went

Sitting outside with a cider looking at this 😊

that is one gorgeous (Cyprinus Carpio) comunis BC

apparently, the first outbreaks of KHV were in a private pond in the USA, the owner had not long taken a stocking of fish from a Kibutz in Israel. just been doing a bit of digging to try to find which Kibutz and found a more recent paper on immunization, you were partly right about the vaccination @chillfactor the paper states that the Israeli carp are inoculated while still under 1 year old, they cannot contract KHV or SVC and are not carriers of either so they cannot pass it on, but they also cannot yet pass on the immunity to their young, also at the time of print the carp have to be in their first year for it to be effective.

according to science direct, Quote"Intra-muscular and oral vaccination using a Koi Herpesvirus ORF25 DNA vaccine does not confer protection in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)" the search for an effective inoculation is still ongoing, and will be for some time yet. i did hear from somewhere that it was the Israelis diddling about with the species that caused the virus to mutate in the first place?

wonder who will get the babysitting job when they start to come along

tight bandage and a couple of weeks rest and it will be as good as new,,,, or will it

you will need to acid dip first cos they are chromed, otherwise paint will flake off.

Gexit? last time they lost first round was 1938, look what they did for an encore. then they got propper trounced in russia that time too

wait for it!!

not that i am aware of but i will post a copy of the pic and call for one, see what happens

no answer to the Email Ian but their F/B page offered this when tasked with the same question "Jon please take a close look the photo has been doctored, Unfortunately Jon social media has its disadvantages the person is known to Sensas France plus France are challenging with the rest of Europe about fish welfare Hence this . " what that adds up to is 'make your own mind up'

sorry bud, just call me skeptical but it seems to me to be a way of just capitalizing on the Ronnie rig.

have you read his piece entitled 'watercraft' the forgotten art? quite revealing

then it obviously does not need shrink tube

you would think that if the Gyro needs shrink tube then it would be fitted during manufacture? bit of a numpty moment there by Nash. (imo)

Hi! and welcome i know what you mean about the crusher sealing on the bucket, unfortunately tho i am not able to use the clips as suggested cos i didn't get any. i feel myself that Nick has it right above as they dont seem to be a part of the bucket system but just something left behind from packing.

have a read of this bud, goes in depth a little

me too Ian, i have just fired off an email to Sensas saying as much and asking for an explanation. see what (if anything) comes back

gutted for you Gaz, had many similar experiences myself but none of them have prompted such an outpouring of angst as yours bud. must be worse reading about someone elses let downs than my usual shrug, grunt and move on

i have to admit that the pole in the wrong hands can and quite often is bad for the carp, but the qualifier is 'in the wrong hands' if a match is arranged on a water known to hold carp in the doubles then most of the fault for damaged fish is down to the event organizer. as most of you know, i often use the pole (among other methods) for surface fishing for carp and yes it can get hairy but no more than on a rod if you know what you are doing. for one thing Nick, the pull on a large fish should NEVER be up unless you are filling the net with carpy goodness, i personally ship in two sections then drop the tip under the surface, this not only exerts the pull to the front side or rear (whichever way the carp is pulling) but also aids the elastic to behave more like a flexible line. while landing fish up to low 20s i have only ever lost one and that was a ghostie who TBH was too close to an overhanging bramble. my set up is an 11mtr Leda Assassin carp with #14 elastic and 4ft of 8lb bottom to a #10 wide gape barbless, this ensures that the bottom is way weaker than the main as it should be and given the flexibility of the main and pole it should be the weakest link. my pennyworth anyhoo

as a nipper i was always down the chalk stream on my grand dads farm, early morning trotting a worm downstream for the trout, holding it back from the lip of the fall off till you could see one showing a little interest then dropping 4-6ft of line and swooping the worm past the trout just to see it chase after and grab it. enough to set your adrenaline boiling matey

not brexit i bet
