  1. 7 months!!! that’s nothing
  2. Congratulations to trakker for the first tent over a grand lol
  3. Well done that fish wouldn’t have been easy to catch looking at it’s mouth
  4. I find tigers very filling but very Morish
  5. I prefer the crook of the swivel so the opening is on the outside of the hook rather than inside. just in case...
  6. But a pop up is a fake bait lol
  7. Which version ? the one with the round circle on the front?
  8. I always used to use a piece of spaghetti as the stop for the top bead until Korda brought out the half bead kit
  9. Blooming match committee’s lol
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. Anything goes until they don’t eat it you might find a winning combination I didn’t mean it for etiquette I meant it as in don’t let them fish your spots lol
  14. Don’t bait when anyone is fishing lol
  15. I would just go and see what I can catch in fun sessions to start with using 2 or 3 rods depending on what the rules of the lake are each with a different bait worm casters maggots maize pellet hemp etc groundbait using all the above at least then you have all bases covered on the boilie front 1 quality bait in the correct area will outfish 3 or 4 rubbish baits in the correct area after a while. you need to have a balanced bait that ticks the fishy boxes doesn’t matter if it’s fishmeal nut vegetable insect or milk
  16. Not really needed unless you want it all to match Just don’t move the distance sticks if you use them keep it the same whether you use 10 or 12 foot just use the wrap as a number i have a spare spool for my reels with braid on if I need to mark up and just swap about and just use my fishing rod
  17. My uk pb carp came to the Christmas cracker pop up
  18. I have some elite baits direct Christmas cracker pop ups the tutti fruitti type flavour wanted some other bits but they never come back to me luckily I can get some of their bits from a semi local tackle shop same people? Or the other party involved in the split? is it magnum baits?
  19. Won’t catch many in the jar Elmo lol
  20. I would speak to joe jacobs is it (?) he may be able to help or try dal henwood at dalectronics failing that angling technics
  21. Re read this and seeing the fish you are catching I would go down to a method feeder rod or float rod or like Nick has suggested an Avon style if you can find one nowadays Match style route would be better
  22. I have caught more carp on luncheon meat than ever caught on boilie yet I have never caught a carp or any other fish on sweetcorn
  23. The daiwa gs4000 is the modern take on the ss2600 with better line lay and less wobble and a much nicer reel to use. it also has the infinite anti reverse so you can actually line up the rollers without them moving so you can fold the handle in the right place if that floats your boatlol
  24. I believe the action of the rod is more in keeping of it rather than the test curve I would up the size of the hook personally I couldn’t even see a size 10 nowadays lol
