Probably not a better reel around for margin work but if you let the fish get over 30 yards away it feels like you are winding it back in for weeks lol
-
ninjas gs4000 legalis 3 in the daiwa range but I would stick to what you have already unless you know how to use a pin you will get really frustrated and end up chucking it away so don’t bother.

Just cast somewhere else if you get little plinks and plunks and odd beep i have a few lakes I fish that are riddled with them
-
Depends on the bottom will also make a difference to me if it’s barbed or barbless rules

Define decent sized carp I still think a 20 is a good fish others think it’s a pasty lol
-
It’s all about the weight saving lol
-
Gets over marginal weed or snags saving weight only taking 1 bank stick can also be used as a bite indicator if you watch the line
-
Never used dust/granules but I reckon it may be more than you think and it would depend on the mix you are using
-
Got up to go out this morning got there and walked around to see what was about but the rivers flooded into the lakes so screwed that one up back home by 10.30 try a different lake tomorrow that should be good will no doubt be high but at least there’s no river feeding it lol
-
Are you using the tapered bit ? one of the cheaper brands like bank tackle or someone like that do a copy of the Korda bead now if needed

Episode 100 of the carp cast has been released (not sure how long ago) this is being discussed at the point I am listening to it now with Warwick Holmes Hughes and cundiff -
I don’t like the tapered bottom on the newer ranges of trakker sleeping bags I feel restricted
-
Possibly but the point is put proper packaging on it in the first place and the damage is limited especially if paying £5 for p&p costs them for the 2nd lot of postage as well!! the amount of these books that have been damaged is silly relying on a Jiffy bag just isn’t cricket lol great business model hahah
-
My new copy turned up today I asked the packed it properly this time and they have why they didn’t do this in the first place I don’t know

I think it was Jerry Hammond who messed up one of his mixes before and it was either doubled or trebled the recommended flavour levels and had his best hit ever on those hookbaits. I can check out his book again to make sure if needed lol -
But on the other hand... I have a few trakker Products and never had a problem with any other that’s wasn’t my fault my bait bucket holder I put a hot ridgemonkey toaster on it my trakker base xp jacket I went through a bramble bush with it on and ended up with a 1” tear in the sleeve
-
The old version with the yellow trakker writing used to be ok when coupled with a throw for this time of year
-
Mine was damaged contacted them using the email addy they put up on Facebook and they are resending another out but may not be here for Xmas
-
Was it damaged at all?
-
I’m beginning to come to terms with the next full lockdown after they extended furlough until April it’s deffo going to happen... anyone had the jab yet?
