I think you may find that distance sticks, wrap sticks what ever you want to call them do actually come with a cord. I have a set in each of my set ups and they all came with a cord so It doesn’t matter if you pick up an old snotty piece of string from the bank or shed and make a measurement with that it doesn’t matter how long it is as long as you set it up to the same distance every time you use it. 6” 6’ 10’ 50 ‘ it really doesn’t matter unless you tell anyone else your wrap measurement its not difficult lol

Not sure how far it is from you but I think I would suggest go visit him if he’s that bad

Exactly this… 6ft, 9ft,13ft rod length makes no difference to a wrap length. unless, you have no cord any other way, add up wrong and you could be in a tree or 50 yards short lol

How big for reference against the mat?

Isn’t it a pain in the rectum trying to organise stuff like this

12foot is 3.65m that’ll mess with their heads when they work out a wrap for that

I’m not suggesting you are lol as you said But you can use anything to wrap around the “proper” ones just have nothing to catch the line on and considering you can buy a set for about 5£ all the way up to 60£ there is a set for every budget if the angler feels they want to buy a set. when spodding I will move forward a stride back a stride left a bit and right a stride depends on baiting I want to do. I think there is a case for accuracy but then off the spot works as well same as over the other forum about noise travelling down line we might as well just take up knitting if we are going to worry about everything like that ps I still use yards lol

No you won’t a wrap could be 1 ft 12 foot or 100 foot just set them up exactly as you did before using the same distance between them the rod length makes no difference

Walking out is great on big open waters but wraps are useful on some waters just use both as the situation requires 👍

Frankie must mean frankfurter then lol

I haven’t been freshwater fishing since august 21 last overnight session late may bank holiday 2019 can’t even get out on the boat atm because of the crappy winds lol

I can’t remember names but there are people who can tie you rigs on Facebook. could be worth asking them

Been doing a bit of digging and found this it may help the bottom of the link says it fits the 100T https://johnsonrosstackle.co.uk/trakker-skull-caps/20101-trakker-tempest-brolly-100-skull-cap.html Reference 202254

I’m not sure how the new versions work I can only find a dpm version even on trakker website is yours the brolly or the bivvy ?

Try the shop on the forum ? https://www.carp.com/trakker-tempest-100t-skull-cap-wrap

The fox looks tall not sure on the rest of it though it is one man https://www.foxint.com/home/product/fox-r-series-1-person-xl-bivvy?c=shelters Tempest 100t not far behind height wise but it is a brolly https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/trakker-tempest-fishing-brolly-100t?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhenSjeDh_wIVFfntCh1v0gd3EAAYASAAEgKnXPD_BwE

Or it could be that they have been more Intrested in spawning than eating just lately try again now and see if it makes a difference what have you been using

The big one uk Zwolle (Holland I think)

Think you might be surprised at some of the names of KHV affected lakes from the past.

You need the original dry oil there is so many different skin so soft products but that is the correct one. https://avon.uk.com/products/skin-so-soft-original-dry-oil-spray i think as long as you make sure you slap what ever product you use on all uncovered parts of the skin it should be ok and be effective any bits not covered the little buzzards will find it

Any of that I think I would stay away from tuna this time of year as it will turn rancid pretty quickly in the heat. unless you open a tin just as you are going to Chuck it out and mix it into a smaller amount.

Sounds to me like you need unicorn fishing tours.com lol can help with links to bits of what you require but not all. but have a look and see if anything here tickles your fancy https://dreamcarpholidays.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwb_qq827_wIV0eTtCh13jw8hEAAYASAAEgIbDPD_BwE

I have only seen 1 myself in the last 30 years. and yes I do begrudge paying it every year and moan about it but I do it because the day I don’t buy it that will be the day they come and ask for it lol

Just paid for the wife’s 33£ for a 2 rod

0.04p per rod per day some people Chuck more than that £49 down their neck on a night down the pub.
