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

There is no problem in this case the gates there the fence is gone lol

OnE of the lakes on my club ticket was fenced off and had gates on it that were left unlocked so people could use it as it’s a public footpath. the locals complained and the fence was taken down the gates are still there 🔔🔔 river flows next to it

Won’t happen in a million years I thought that was the whole ethos behind Embryo.

No shareholders divis for the MP’s to get their hands on.

Catching is a bonus

I just bought some of the latest small Abu cardinals to see what they are like loaded up with braid for chucking lures after the bass of the back of the boat. for 20£ each can’t complain if they are plastic then at least they can’t rust lol Dam rod the kids are currently chucking the older version of this around the rod is fully orange that were bought from AD and they get sling in the bilge when we leave the boat. the only problem so far on one reel the handle rusted so didn’t spin properly wd40 sorted that out

old school Pay the lake … 👍👍

The problem is the “distributors” (I use that word as most are made by someone else anyway) are telling us that’s what we need so the lower test curve rods are just not available anymore because the “celebs/stars” are using heavy rods whether that be 6 footers 10 footers or 13 footers. I don’t have a problem with higher tc rods per se but the action isn’t kind on them as most are fast to enable distance casting. Couple that with the modern reels that the clutch is either tight or loose because everyone of the “stars/celebs” and their dog are using quick clutch reels.
