  1. I haven’t bought a shimano reel since the XTB came out most of them now feel “plasticky”
  2. Sod using water you pay for… use water butt water if you don't want to use good old tap water..
  3. The albrite knot whips up say 7 turns and back down say 5 like a mahin knot the trick is to keep the whippings tight not spread out up the line and make sure you go back through the loop the same way. the real difference is a mahin knot has the overhand knot in the leader and the albrite just tucks through a loop. not tried this myself but I have just thought about half a mahin knot and half grinner knot the leader and grinner on the mainline if it works I’ll call it a grinnin lol i also use another knot that is a cross between a grinner and a blood knot I’ve never had that come undone.
  4. Try it with a different leader material just in case try mono doesn’t matter what BS
  5. Stopped rolling I thought still selling bits and mixes
  6. When done properly it gives a lovely carrot shaped knot
  7. I’d love an anker powerhouse.. just can’t justify the purchase to myself..no matter how much it would be handy for the boat. plus it would need to be able to run a 2.2kw jet wash without tripping out lol
  8. a 3lb roach caught when the record was just broken at 4.1 and a 5.11 chub when the record was about 8lb rolling meat in a swim that Wilson used to show on go fishing my club had the opposite side of the river.
  9. I usually use a mahin knot if there is a lot of difference between the thickness of the lines or a back to back grinner if similar or tapered leader. an albrite knot works well apparently but I only use that on a combi rig lol i think blobbing will just catch in the rings more surely??
  10. I think its probably banned from posting. most only receive a short ban but let’s be honest, all it is on there now is bitching wining and moaning about something or other.
  11. It’s a pain to set up I think…. can’t say I’ve ever tried it
  12. The difference is obvious The boa rig can’t be used as a weed rake
  13. This could be the “thing” that the antis have been looking for for so long..
  14. Seen the picture 🫣
  15. Don’t do that with an OMD lucky branch attached 😉
  16. It helps to use 2 spools wind the tapered mainline on and then knot normal line to it and fill up the spool then just reverse it by changing spools again so the normal mainline goes on first they are really using some strange rules lol no boilies but you can use homemade particle how do they know it’s prepared properly lol
  17. No fishing in the rest ? 🫣
  18. Guessing I’m used to 2 toggles
  19. Wow.. that’s gonna be a good challenge could be up any of the arms
  20. Fubar Aint heard that in years lol
  21. Not for me
  22. Why do these manufacturers use those single jiggle sticks nowadays they do my head in im just getting old I guess
  23. Runs of either battery or ciggy lighter i have one in the van for charging drill batteries
  24. Would run of a power bank box as it’s 12 volt like a fox I know that has a 12v socket I don’t know about ridgemonkey one. can’t think of any other way of doing it if he needs a plug socket
