Tie a big overhand knot in the end of the line then tie a smaller one at the end of the 1st knot so you can easily remove the lead spod or spomb etc

I’d ask them maybe they can let you know lol

Fisheries4sale.com or Google fenn wright

Waste of time the fish finder part as most of those are probably roach/perch/bream anyway lol have a go with a finder in the winter when pike fishing even your lure will show up as a fish

Start at the other end lol

I use the same for hook baits as I would for food baits I read Jerry Hammonds book and he doubled the amount of the solar ester12 lol

I have some that are nearly 10 years old I would still happily put one out

IIRC It used to be a jrc hook for the 360 because Dave lane was with them at the time

Could be below or above the next lock as everyone has said just gotta find them

Use an old line spool and bolt through go tie it to a fence on a field and open the bale arm and walk away then wind it all back on again and walk towards it can use an old swivel and snap link to get the twist out as well if you need to if it’s a fence with the square holes in it

A pva supple rig still only needs to be a knotless knot just shorter really only need a multi rig/slip D for pop ups and wafters (Some will use it for bottom baits as well) and as said a simple knotless knot just use them in different lengths to suit the deck and possibly a zig and a chod A “barbless”water will dictate what pattern of hook I will use as it would then be a curve hook or an in turned point

I think if you buy the best you can afford then no problem in upgrading when required. I always used to make sure my house was heated my kids were clothed and fed and then if any left I would buy what i needed. if it meant 1 rod a year then so be it I think I got my first matching carp rods in the mid/late 90’s lol. my problem is getting rid of what I have upgraded from especially with 4 grandsons

Google mark Bryant Meccano rig it’s similar in make up

Got those and the fox ones

And at 25£ each I won’t lol

I keep toying with buying the solar adjustable back rests but at £25 each I really don’t want to

Who was it who said a fool and his money are easily parted …..

Lol have solar think money

not sure how politics have become fishing tackle. and life would be so different under any of the other lying parties….

Fished it when I was a kid, my 2nd fish caught from there.first was from the river that fed it and diverted back into it from the lakes I was 7 My cousins and I used to walk the mile and a half on our own with no adults.it was a different time back in 76 ,there were no fishing signs then …now they have gone and just no cycling signs Spool of line hand line wrapped around the hand and “touch ledgering”with free lined bread on a size 12 aitkin hook to nylon remember the white grease proof paper bags they came in? Those hooks lol. loads of roach were always caught and still get “that smell”in my nostrils when I think about them, no nets ever just in case we had to leg it when the Parkie came around lol. The halcyon days of no worries and a stress free life, a bottle of water and a jam sandwich to eat and drink at the most, but hardly ever ate as the sandwich was used when the couple of slices of plain bread didn’t work. when we had enough walk around to the river side of the lake and jump in and cool down. unfortunately, the river is now just choked up with silt and about a foot deep mainly but they are planning to spend some money on it. Re route the water course back to how it used to be before the lake and then re work the lake Tempted ??? everyday in the summer we then “progressed”to a rod and line and used the same leg it technique at another park lake in Welwyn garden city. I even ponced some money of a copper for the bus fair to get me back to St Albans!! sheesh… how my parents never got Nicked for neglect is beyond me.I was only about 10-11 that time Not “guested” properly since those days though 😂😂😂😂

My daily walk consists of walking around my local park lake I usually see a few fish starting around now the algae has been turning over now for about 10 days but today I had to stop and double check.. the water is clearing up nicely enough at the bottom half of the lake for me to see fish and today I saw the biggest fish that I have seen in there it’s not huge probably estimate between 15/18 lb or so but it’s a mirror and it’s 2 tone front half dark chestnut brown and the back half lighter shades shame it is no fishing lol.. I'm going to start taking a few pellets on my walk I think and then hopefully get a couple of videos of it

What does that mean I do believe “proper” branded fuel does give better mpg

I would make my decision once I got there and had a look at the lake.weather may be looking like that but they usually get it wrong lol Maybe knock up a small bucket of bait with some oils in it if that takes your fancy could be a singles day when you get there personally I hate those big temperature swings

I found these very helpful when my father in law had a stroke and ended up in a chair https://bdaa.co.uk/
