That’s the point not everyone can be in the right place sometimes it’s fish elsewhere or go home every video anyone watcheS all talk about location location location but in the real world it can always be and something has to give if you can’t get in the right place then you need an effective rig and bait and a little bit of hope lol

Problem is not everyone on the lake can be on the fish location is 99% of it.sometimes if you only get so long or a certain time you just have to either slot in or go home. if all the fish are up one end are you going to go and slot in next swim to matey and cast at/near his water?

Probably going to use one of the hangers will be a pain if the markets on lol

I don’t think it’s a stupid question at all But have you tried the palm test with a hair rig the same length to see what happens there

I don’t look that deep into it lol

I use metal bait screws

Tie on a hook god forbid…

They get into the lake that way sometimes so can’t see it being a problem they can live out of the water

No worse than plastic or cork baits 🤪

Keep them all the same Set the sticks up at 12 foot doesn’t matter then if you use 13ft rods or 6

Years ago we used poly balls to get a nice balanced bait that we could get to go really slow or just enough to take the weight of the hook out of it I'm guessing you can still get them

Cork balls and wrap the paste around them

I think in a rod the main thing is action ,will it be able to get you to where you need to fish if it does,it doesn’t matter if it cost 50£ or 500£ until the last few years I never spent over 120£ on a rod as food and clothes for the kids came first then sonik came out and I could then afford to get 3 as it was always a 3 for 2 deal. Now I can afford nicer things so can upgrade the rods I still have 2 sets of infinity rods also have a2 sets of free spirit cosmetics mean nothing when all said and done people rave about Alps seats “I” think they look stinky winky cheap and bulky I still havent paid over 250£ for a reel though lol and most are under 100

As a professionally trained rod builder why would you buy a pre made rod instead of making it I’m blooming sure I wouldn’t

Do it when you leave as long as no one else is fishing a similar area log it somewhere then remember for next time you get in the swim this time of year is pretty good for it as no one/ hardly anyone around

Is there such a thing then lol

Who’s Steven white ? problem is once you sift through the commercial stinky winky whether it’s a podcast book magazine or video it does all only boil down to 1 finding them 2 something they want to eat 3 a sharp hook on whatever rig you want. Last 2 can be either way around lol everything else is what we think fish are animals and will do whatever a they want to do when ever they want to do it they haven’t read the articles the so called stars have written

The million $ Question there is no right answers and fish will do what they want on any given day the only given is you need to go and find them as they won’t move far in winter then fish something that is in their eye line as moving uses energy finding them will tell you at what depth that will be and then you can decide on bottom bait pop up or zig

I got the 12 foot mt version

All waders are sweaty horrible things unless you want to buy a set of breathables

You could ask any of the custom manufacturers to make you one to whatever size you want

Matt is a carp angler so it should work lol

Carp don’t necessarily shut down if they are fed throughout the winter may be harder to find though lol i like fishing for them in winter more than any other season as it’s more of a challenge and therefore more rewarding well it is in my twisted warped head

I just bought the deeper attachment Didn’t need it as I had a spare camera attachment lol

I want to get a SIM but it needs to go on a trakker RLX compact bedchair the one I bought previous doesn’t taper in like the bedchair so the bag doesn’t fit on it I’ve seen a few moan the trakker one doesn’t stay inflated otherwise I would just buy that
