Cheap bag of brown and white crumb
mix it with what ever you want
I used to use groats or pigeon conditioner back in the day.
add some colours and flavourings if you want
use enough water to bind it up
I used to make it 24 hours before hand to give it time to blend and soak in the water and other liquids.
add some more water when at the lake to get it to stick to the feeder
I was talking to someone yesterday and he just came back from a week in France
he actually witnessed a delkim melting in the heat lol
that one definitely won’t be waterproof
Whilst it is unlikely
it “could” still happen with a running lead.
that same wind knot “could” loop over itself pig tail and lock in the lead Ala a single granny knot.
“could” pick up a piece of detritus on the bed and do the same.
unless you can take out every “could”
You will always be left with an element of risk.
i am happy to use a leadcore leader but I will use a knotless knot (Moors knot ) to join it to minimise the risk.
Use a Korda no trace bead and again take out an element of risk
i would be happy to see the no trace beads more supple/stretchy rather than hard plastic.
Don’t care what anyone says, There is no fool proof lead set up
the best you can hope for is to minimise any problems if and when it happens
underwater, anything can happen once the line has snapped off.
Brand new alarms and pod left in swim when packing van up and having to go back
jag compact pod set up (in grey when they first came out)
and ace i3 alarms
total of about a grand lol
about the worst
