  1. thanks for the advice lads but as everyone is on the latest 'going' baits and they all seem (with the exception of one or two) to follow the trend, i have a feeling as no one else is on these they could work. i recon a scattering of corn, maples, crushed tigers/brazils, boilie shavings and hemp, with a few whole chocaberries, or just a small bag of crushed nuts and shavings with a 18mm on the hair may be the way to go. only time will tell, as it happens the one or two who go their own way are the ones who are consistently catching.
  2. after much thought and research i have decided (despite the nay sayers) to go for Cherry carp as my new bait, ten kilo of their chocaberry boily and a pot of H-Dec soak, £45 on offer. taken six months to commit so it better be a winner
  3. tight bandage and a couple of weeks rest and it will be as good as new,,,, or will it
  4. you will need to acid dip first cos they are chromed, otherwise paint will flake off.
  5. 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
  6. fish aint bothered about fashion bud only carp anglers have to look 'carpy'
  7. welcome to the forum Kie, you will probably find that the ground bait hasn't changed much, still basically ground bread or soya flour, various flavorings such as turmeric, chilli, liquidized corn etc,etc. a good favorite of mine is basically liquidized bread (binder) liquidized dog meal (bakers complete) food source) ground halibut pellets (oil content) paprika (colouring) turmeric (spice) chilli flake (why not?) to change it up for the seasons i would replace the halibut pellets with liquidized fruit such as pineapple, strawberries etc. sweetcorn, chick peas, mung beans or maples on the hook or you could find a good food source boilie to compliment the ground bait too. thats my take on it bud, have fun and catch fish
  8. not that i am aware of but i will post a copy of the pic and call for one, see what happens
  9. 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'
  10. sorry bud, just call me skeptical but it seems to me to be a way of just capitalizing on the Ronnie rig.
  11. have you read his piece entitled 'watercraft' the forgotten art? quite revealing
  12. then it obviously does not need shrink tube
  13. 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)
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. seems to have dropped off the map bud but hey ho!! welcome to the forum mitch, telford is a bit out of my area but i did find this post with a few alternatives for you. again its a bit old but should still be good. tight lines, Jon
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. WOW!!! wot an ugly beard,, GET IT OFF. the little ladies is much neater
  20. 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
  21. as i learned long ago bud,, we dont do it for fun, we dont do it cos were curious, we dont even do it cos we love the little woman. nope, subconsciously we do it as pay back, its like ' that will teach you not to crisp my bacon up eh!!'
  22. result buddy, may not weigh much but i would count it
  23. i have been present for all of my kids birth,, even delivered one cos the wife was impatient gotta say tho, much rather have been on the bank, it looked like a massacre in an abattoir where the butcher tripped and hit his dear lady assistant with his axe
