assess every situation if it’s cold moody or hot just bait enough to get the bite then you can add more and more once the action starts. Wasn't the baiting pyramid was a “proper pre bait tactic” a week or so before you go Chuck it all in far and wide to get everything feeding and then get less and less feed as you got closer to fishing in more of a tighter zone then essentially feed singles and stringers

Interesting set up lol

Is that a ronnie on a float set up

I can’t fish a single either lol

I think we all have if we are honest a buddy of mine chucked in half a 17l bucket of particle caught nothing I ground 7 boilies shared between 2 rods in pva sticks (i always use 7 never thought about that before.) And I had 6. everyone calls me tight, I just say I’m trying to catch ‘em not feed em lol.

The old adage comes in here you can always put more in but you can’t take it out 👍👍

Consumer rights act 2015 Goods must be A fit for purpose. B last a reasonable length of time C be of reasonable quality take them back. to be fair to sonik they said the right thing as your contract is with the shop as Yonny correctly said. Assuming you bought from a uk shop? the only time you go direct to a manufacturer is if you buy direct from them.

I would say you have found the fault if you speak to Weston developments they sell a line clip you may be able to use. but they would double the value of your reel on the old fashioned shark tooth v shaped line clip you inserted a piece of marker elastic into the clip first and it protected the line try that as a first fix. Not sure if John Robert’s still sell a line clip device I will have a look

Yep or use the stinky winky braid you already have on it lol

Stick 50 yards or so of mono or AN other braid and try it again doing what you do now. Chuck it out , wind it in and check the line where you have it around the clip. sometimes if you wrap the braid around the clip a couple of times it helps to cushion the blow.

Cast iron ? be careful it might break..

Check your clip for damage also

Always wanted a set of 300s reels ☹️ still would today as long as it’s a set of 3

Surely if a bait boat is good enough for Terry then that makes it ok for everyone to use.

Been away and read this as a guest so couldn’t post The particle plate is great addition to the grinder the grinder is probably the best bit of kit fudge monkey make. ie its never had a call back on it lol

I did the same to a fox x pod years ago Had to alter the bars to suit also wide bars yuk !!!

Only ever fished pitsFord once during a comittee day out for the fly dressers guild my mate had a 9lb rainbow on one of my damsels I will let you guess what I caught lol 🫣🫣

There are a couple of fishery owner forums on Facebook that will probably give you the right advise. you could also possibly ask the angling trust if they have any contacts failing that you could just lease it out to a club or syndicate and let them deal with it al and you just sit back and take the rents. would depend on if you want a stress free rental or a headache of running day tickets and have any old Tom richard or Harry all over your property.

The method is such an underused tactic for bigger carp the match men use it and I struggle to see why more of us don’t. always had a couple and a mould in the bag with me

Depending on what you are using for the mix you could buy a carp tart bagless wonder for sticks. great little device that means you don’t need pva. i usually grind down 3 or 4 boilies whack it in the wonder and thread it on the hook length. the harder you compress it the longer it takes to break down

Put it on top of the kettle to soften.

You could try a stop knot to give the putty something to bite into did you warm it up enough ?

Old enough for that lol.. I also remember raffles fags doing Argos tokens. I’m a bit too young for players though I think lol
