I just bought some of the latest small Abu cardinals to see what they are like loaded up with braid for chucking lures after the bass of the back of the boat. for 20£ each can’t complain if they are plastic then at least they can’t rust lol Dam rod the kids are currently chucking the older version of this around the rod is fully orange that were bought from AD and they get sling in the bilge when we leave the boat. the only problem so far on one reel the handle rusted so didn’t spin properly wd40 sorted that out

old school Pay the lake … 👍👍

The problem is the “distributors” (I use that word as most are made by someone else anyway) are telling us that’s what we need so the lower test curve rods are just not available anymore because the “celebs/stars” are using heavy rods whether that be 6 footers 10 footers or 13 footers. I don’t have a problem with higher tc rods per se but the action isn’t kind on them as most are fast to enable distance casting. Couple that with the modern reels that the clutch is either tight or loose because everyone of the “stars/celebs” and their dog are using quick clutch reels.

Assuming you are a raw beginner here so apologise if not Unfortunately it isn’t simply a case of best rig they could be mid layer which would mean a zig they could be on the top and up for a floater but easiest to tie and most universal will be a knotless knot hair rig. check out carl and Alex on you tube for their early stuff as that may give you some idea watching it is easier than describing it

Not sure if northern specials is a specific American bait by Nash as never heard of that one. cc Moore make a northern special which is a hook bait. you could try around a 1mm drill bit or American equivalent. (Around 1/32 give or take) drill slowly and it shouldn’t break the back of the boilie out

It is still going Thanks Guys, Ken can be contacted after 2pm Mon-fri at unit on 01268 417444.

Can’t be bothered to read back as I can smell an argument brewing lol whilst I have never had a knotless knot slip per se they do twist around the hook shank unless, you whip back up the shank a turn or 2. most people won’t see it as the knot is covered by a bit of tubing. I used to use superglue but it just goes off in the tackle box and leaks everywhere so now don’t bother 👍🫣 when I was a lot younger we did a job at Loctite when it was based in Welwyn garden city and I was given a few tubes of it, one of the boffs there used it for fishing.

AA baits suggest up to 50ml per kilo of dry mix

No difference from memory the led on the left was the original model followed shortly after by the underlit and now just a choice

I thought tfg went out of business years ago

Did a social a few years ago for a buddy’s birthday and 2 fished on the ground like that 1 ended up with the obligatory slug on the face…. 🤢 certainly not for me especially if it’s a weekend my back would be in bits nowadays

I bought one of those water straws when you first mentioned them a few years ago. just haven’t got round to using it yet lol

Im sure A lot of people just don’t know how to load a barrow properly do the good thing and get the weight over the wheel end and then stick 3 20l buckets of bait on the back end lol pull your arms out of their sockets lol
