framey

Sounds like a don’t bother lol

You not blaming the reel for a wind knot are ya?? Was just going to ask for an update on these reels and saw this

Red spinners is an even more exclusive club like the BCSG if you into that sort of thing lol…

Fly dressers guild lol tie fishing flies open to everyone bud .👍👍

In most dirty pond puddles I would say no on gin clear waters then possibly

Do you really wanna waste money throwing your bait on top of some one else’s stuff ?? best sticking to zigs or chucking singles around me thinks.

Following. On from the other thread imagine if you will 3 acre swim with 32 swims angler1 has been baiting say 3 swims angler 2 has been baiting 3 angler 3 turns up and does the walk and finds fish crashing about in a swim so sets up and fishes the area angler 2 turns up and says I’ve been baiting that swim for a month what does angler 3 do ?? does he leave or does he stay ? let’s just say he decides to leave and goes and finds a fish elsewhere so resets up and starts fishing angler 1 comes up and says I’ve got something going in this swim mate what would he do then ?? When does etiquette stop and mickey taking start?

if an angler who only fishes once or twice a month as that’s all his time allows turns up at a lake and proceeds to do what the “stars” say and finds the fish how is he doing anything wrong he doesn’t know anyone has baited that area. if you have baited an area and the fish are on it that’s not really his fault. unless he’s in with the clique which most of these type of anglers are not he will never know on a club water it’s “lottery fishing” trying to get anything going you have to pray no one is in there when you come back.

There was a lot of stinky winky talk in the early days leaving the receiver at home !! can honestly say I don’t think it’s ever happened as usually the receiver is kept in the same bag as the alarms. what if the receiver packs up !! what if a normal receiver packs up you still missed the bite either way. i think in the 20+ years they have been available they have proven very reliable and the only problem anyone reported was sticky cases..

I think they have missed a trick and not using the same type of speaker as the old optonic would have still been waterproof then and no different in style maybe a little fatter to account for another little PCB?

When I belonged to the fly dressers guild once we mounted a hook into a vice we were taught to ping test it if it didn’t ping get rid. if a hook could straighten we could go back to using the bent hook rig safely lol

I have a mk4s i think and for the front bag I use a trakker side pannier bag think it’s this one

Put a half inch #6 screwinto a piece of 4x2 wood and see how easy it pulls out then Try that with a 11/2 #10 screw

Totally agree won’t even let my best mate tie a knot..

Ebro Google ditch Ballard or ebromadcats.

Check out decathlons n offerings some of there stuff has a lifetime guarantee but even the cheaper stuff has a 2 year

And black well done !! lol

I keep a 3L crafty catcher clear tub in it full with pellets and it hasn’t fallen out yet lol so you can put the smaller buckets in them which is a bonus. this type below but tbh I’m not much of a carper anymore nowadays so rarely go out with it. the 9 footers sit better on it also as it’s lower. wrapped it with pipe lagging so they don’t scratch 👍 i imagine using a bigger bucket the weight is even better distributed. I can push mine using 1 finger on each hand.

Got bought the same thing at Xmas from the kids 👍👍

The neoprene covers are a godsend lol they also have the magnet to turn them off

Terry Edmonds used them when he broke his casting record if that means anything lol I like them and had them years

12 weeks garden leave and then I got made redundant 2 weeks before covid hit and lockdown happened. You would have thought after 23 years they could have furloughed me and then Made me redundant. 25k redundancy later and a new job in July on more money I think I won. 👍👍 the MD who made me and the others redundant was made to resign or get sacked 18 months later. just checked he has done 4 more jobs since “leaving”

There was always an air of anticipation on June 16th (usually followed by disappointment ) I think it should be re introduced but as a floating shut down once any of the species starts spawning then close for the 3 months not just carp. Nature would also appreciate it. think back to covid everyone was gagging to get back to it thats how it felt way back when. and from memory it was March to June

that should suffice if the conditions are ok. Play it by eye on the day you go and good luck

Put the word bass after it and it’s almost as expensive as the word carp lol in the 00’s the word barbel was more expensive lol
