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

I buy tiger nuts to eat from Holland and Barrett’s not sure if they are the same as fishing ones because they look loads different lol

Can you not just measure the one you have or set up the bivvy and measure to what you want to make it I can’t find details of it but someone like custom carp products or total camo carp may have made some

I will say what a pain the track and trace system is Loads of phone call everyday and they just don’t let you recover I have now removed the app from my phone and will not re install it

Just get rid of all the quango managers and get the matrons and sisters back to run the wards and bring most of it back in house instead of outsourcing might actually have less wasted money in the system then and also stop the “where there’s a blame there’s a claim culture” we have nowadays as you are only taking twice the money out of your own pocket..

Apparently wychwood make one that will fit

You need to hit it before they start shutting down no food means they will go torpid and not want to feed if you keep it going in they will feed in the coldest crappiest days. don’t be too keen to rape the spot and if you can keep a couple going and catch between them

Just buy some “hormones” and drop it in lol

I agree on day tickets or popular places but quiet areas I think the fish would generally spook day before fishing may be a different story

Bring in Alan B’stard hahaha there was a program back in the 80’s called yes minister and then yes prime minister all these people johnson, starmer ,sturgeon etc are just a face for the party the real leaders and decision makers sit in the back ground as in that program
