  1. Just use glycerin
  2. I can cast further coming from around the side than I can an overhead thump but I wouldn’t use a full blown pendulum cast (not that I can anyway lol)
  3. It is common in beach casting
  4. Could go for 100 £ could go for 500£ all depends on it you can get a couple of people who want them as bad as each other that’s when prices go mad.
  5. Crocs or flip flops in summer Had a pair of skeetex bivvy slippers years ago http://www.skee-tex.co.uk/products/skee-tex-fishing-bivvi-shoe-17.aspx
  6. Who was it who said if you can smell it the flavour is over the top… or words to that effect i know John baker said it recently but someone said it before him must be some truth in it
  7. I would imagine others could be crimped but korda are not likely to let you know which ones could lol
  8. They are good for this I use them on a quick change swivel aswell
  9. Powder with powders except dyes I have found liquids with liquids roughly 100-130g of dry per egg but that depends on mix there is no science to it it’s all bait woolly lol
  10. i will bite ... I don’t think it’s particularly bad or unsafe unless the plastic bait is banned then they can use it it’s a lazy combi rig using stiff coated material because it’s easier to strip the coating than tie an albrite knot lol personally I would have just used a quick change swivel rather than the quick link and a swivel
  11. Depends on budget really theres 5500 size shimano I like the gs 4000 series daiwa ninja series daiwa Fox fx9 some like the okuma range of reels something for every price range really
  12. 7 months!!! that’s nothing
  13. Congratulations to trakker for the first tent over a grand lol
  14. Well done that fish wouldn’t have been easy to catch looking at it’s mouth
  15. I find tigers very filling but very Morish
  16. I prefer the crook of the swivel so the opening is on the outside of the hook rather than inside. just in case...
  17. But a pop up is a fake bait lol
  18. Which version ? the one with the round circle on the front?
  19. I always used to use a piece of spaghetti as the stop for the top bead until Korda brought out the half bead kit
  20. Blooming match committee’s lol
  21. try these it doesn’t say out of stock unlike most of the others I have looked at https://www.hullanglingcentre.co.uk/index.php/fox-eos-1-man-bivvy-skin.html
  22. I bought a set of 3 daiwa infinity super slim 12 foot in 2lb test curve but have never got round to using them lol i tend to use a set of 2.75 shimano compacts if I need 12 footers as they bend through but can cast a bit if needed its not always about the test curve it’s the action you want.
  23. That’s what the manufacturers tell us we want. you will probably need to get a set made Harrison do lower test curves https://www.harrisonrods.co.uk/carp_rod_selector.html https://www.harrisonrods.co.uk/rods and blanks/webblanklist.pdf
