cats!! a different branch of angling

i like the colour of your jib young man i would have said 'cut' but their isnt an americanism for that

The tfg boots i had were not as nice as those Primals,, the rubber toe came right up to the start of the tongue and the flexing at the joint as you walked was why they cracked. your right about the Primals being pikey look alikes

i had the tfg ones a couple of years ago and my only problem was that they split where the rubber toe cap joined the more flexible boot, two pairs went like that.

they are actually hunters boots so well good for the outside but the realtree is a nice touch

Jack Pike Tundra boots in realtree, best boots i ever did own, waterproof and breathable with thinsulate inside and at £69.95 or less they aint got no carp tax (BONUS) i have worn them all day including driving with none of that 'oh gawd' when you take them off, i just hose them down when they get caked and they are as new looking as when i first got them about 18 months ago. would highly recomend.

ditto

not as if you went and bought a rod is it

ah, i see. i will have a look thru my old stuff to see if i have one lying around ok

not unless he can get it at a trade price better than i can,,, OOPS just gave my bloke a ring and i can now get it at 50p per mtr, summat to do with stock being sold off in advance of a new EU directive coming down

do you not have 4? i have a set of euroswingers ( NOT the ones @bigtrev was looking at,,pervert) and its a set of four so you should have a spare???

but thats the same whatever pipe you go for

are you sure you were checking the right pipe dimentions BC? what we call 1inch is their internal bore. you have to shop arround but just over £1 is quite possible, example: 1" display grade upvc pipe, internal 24.5mm ex 33.4mm wall thickness 3.3mm 20 x 1mtr lengths = £53.80 del to uk (2-3 days) £3.99 vat = £10.76 tot £68.55/20= £3.42per mtr/3.28= £1.04 per ft delivered. https://www.plasticpipeshop.co.uk/-White-Pipe-1m-Length_c_2923.html

it is but the wall is twice as thick.

y'know BC i just had a crazy thought,, can you get hold of shedule 40 near you? its american spec water pipe and it has double thich walls. theres a kid on youtube who builds 80lb draw bows out of the stuff bit expensive on amazon but a local sup will be well cheap

one of the best mats i have seen for stalking, large, foldable, lightweight and most impressive,,, sub £20 https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/advanta-beanie-unhooking-mat-lite

was thinking about filling each section with expanding foam? should float anyway then

having used upvc conduit in old renovations i happen to know that you can buy threaded adapters to join the new stuff to the old style steel pipe and fittings, if you glue a male on one end and a female on the other you will be able to screw 1mtr lengths together to go as far as you like, just a thought loike

drain rods would be a tad heavy to carry round the pool bud, i know, i was a chimney sweeps lad in another life and carrying them litteraly killed me

i noticed JC was recomending it about a week ago and i have been awaiting the release with baited breath,,,,pun intended

and i had to put up with a couple of iced ciders while baking in the garden 😂

haha!! neither is the Aldi version at 99p for 50mtrs

or..... if you have amazon prime you can do as i did and get this stuff for £7.99 next day del, 300mtr @ 50lb https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spectra-Extreme-Braided-100m-2000m-328Yards/dp/B01AYUUH0S/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1524066617&sr=8-12&keywords=fishing%2Bbraid&th=1&psc=1

you get some great stuff from that mag, best for me so far is the set of Wychwood Micro's. great lightweight alarms that tuck away in a small space, bangin for the angler who travels light

well done Finchey,, as for being any good. 1) they were free 2) if you aint got one then anything is better. 3) they look alright. 4) they were free. 5) er!!! cant think of a five but,,,,,, they were free 🤔 🤗 😂 😂 😂
