  1. My mum just asked me what I wanted for Xmas I said a hoody with a Borg lining no zip lol good luck with that one mother
  2. Just bought 2 uptiders (only Shakespeare salt for now until I can find a pair of ugly sticks )and slosh 20’s to pair up
  3. Nick he is using the 50/50 as an “extra” to top up the mix as I read it.
  4. A 50/50 mix is usually only semolina and soya flour you can buy a kilo of each for about £1 rather than tackle shop price
  5. Ahh sorry I thought tropamino was a baker base mix
  6. 200 grams of bird seed? have you asked John his advise on the seed inclusion unless you have a mill to make most of it really fine I would think that would be a nightmare to roll it looks very crumby to me? i would imagine the base mix has all the binders needed
  7. I’ve been watching the fish locker workshop trying to loosen the rusty sea fishing skills.

    Weather ?

    Hertfordshire 6” of snow on Sunday night went into London Monday morning and less and less the further I got in there then went to Guildford and just a hard frost. coventry today and they have hardly any just a hard frost not much either way up there or back lots of lakes frozen and skaters on the local park lake idiots
  9. Use in a well ventilated area is there then
  10. If you get instructions on a kettle I’m sure there will be guidance on a gas bottle as it is an explosive gas I would imagine no one bothers to look though
  11. modern way of life means we don’t need these bivvy heaters when there are modern heated blankets or sleeping bags that run of a power pack. We sit behind a grands worth of rods a grands worth of reels sitting on a grands worth of alarms and sit in a grands worth of tent with a grands worth of tablet.. such a waste
  12. My brother in law and his son almost went a few years ago he was lucky he woke up with a headache his son was only about 10 at the most.
  13. 12” of lead free or leadcore loop in one end and a big loop in the mainline then loop to loop them on 12” gives a nice amount out the back of the bag. don’t use the plastic stem to be extra safe just the buffer bead to hold the swivel in
  14. Because people want to pay £4.95 a kilo lol Regular price is 10.95 a kilo so that either a great bargain or something has changed in their baits

    Your last 2 posts have gone right over my head What is obvious though is you do have beef with someone lol
  19. I know that IF I crack off (can’t actually remember when I last did) everything is coming off especially with such a short amount of it jamming the lead clip tail rubber on I do that when I am storing the rods so when I put a lead on and hook the rubber back on it actually works as it should because the tail rubber bore is larger than it actually should be. I suppose after 45 years as an angler I know how to fish safe as I don’t get bogged down by the videos etc.
  20. The bottom pic look like one of those Korda drop lead things
  21. To be fair , even if both were your advocated running rigs nothing is coming off with that much line on them sorry Nick but my opinion is that isn’t leadcore fault As both rigs have lead clips maybe should go for those as well. I do agree that not used carefully it can be a real hazard but to blanket ban the use is harsh personally there is no need for anyone to tie rigs wrong with the plethora of videos there are around now a days. I happily use lead core but the lengths I use are usually around 1 foot- 18” maximum and that is only if there is weed so I have a bit of protection. mine is usually tied using the Keith moors knot so it’s actually a Knotless knot for leadcore or I will needle knot it.
