  1. old school Pay the lake … 👍👍
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Quickest Google search Lake Plastiras: Near Karditsa, known for carp, catfish, and big barbel. Lake Yliki: Near Athens, with carp populations. Other notable lakes: Lake Kastoria, Lake Aliakmonas, Lake Ladonas, and Lake Pinios also offer carp fishing opportunities. Lake Aoos: Near Ioannina, known for carp, sturgeon, and trout. Lake Pamvotis: Also near Ioannina, with grass carp and common carp.
  6. What about A12 fisheries that’s a day ticket I have never fished it but a few have. www.a12lakes.co.uk
  7. It is still going Thanks Guys, Ken can be contacted after 2pm Mon-fri at unit on 01268 417444.
  8. 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.
  9. AA baits suggest up to 50ml per kilo of dry mix
  10. No difference from memory the led on the left was the original model followed shortly after by the underlit and now just a choice
  11. I thought tfg went out of business years ago
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. I see someone else mentioned the name on the other forum. i was thinking it was a Wayne rather than a Lloyd. but Lloyd it is
  16. Keep making the same and keep putting it in start of with less and in areas you can see once it starts being eaten put more in you can’t say a bait is bad from one session
  17. Hence why they are called wind knots lol
