Super, thanks all. Really appreciated. Will go for the 6000 reducer and see how we go

Hi all, please can i have some guidance. I have Shimano 14000 XTD XR reels. Ive bought some Berkley CM90 line (0.34 diameter). Should i use the 6000 or 10000 spacers? Trying to get circa 300m of line on each spool. Any help would be really appreciated!

boiling water does the trick, requires a bit of practticeb ut doesnt harm the braid at all underneath

cheers, will have pictures by tommorow. Just waiting for 02 to enable picture messaging on my phone so i can email it to myself. Ill put it up o nthis thread after if the forum allows that

morning lads and possibly lasses, just to let you know i fished birds green on Sunday using gold mantis on all 3 rods and caught two lovely carp one mirror at 12lbs 8oz a fat common at 19lb 7oz -pretty good for a coldish February session. Cheers for all the tips!!

Cheers for all the advice and help - looks like ill be down the tackle shop tonight

nice one, ill let you know how i get on!!

Thanks for the reply! i will have a look out for Krystonite next time im in the fishing shop. I was using snakebite and have blanked so much i think the fish can see it

Hi im fishing a very clear lake with patches of gravel and some weed. Can anyone advise the best colour/type of braid for this enviroment as the fishing is quiet hard? Also, is is true that if you leave your hooklengths longer you will get away from catching smaller carp in a lake??? Many thanks Michael

cheers lads form the advice ill let yoy know how i get on!!!

cheers for the reply mate- i think i understand the rig and im going to give it a go...nice one!

Afternoon lads and maybe lasses, How do you guys present chum mixers when surface fishing. I wasnt to get the hook to be on top of the mixer rather than beneath it as im sure this is why im spooking fish? I currently superglue the baits onto the hook and tried a method of counterbalancing the bait by glueing a shot on the other side of the mixer but this just keeps on sinking the bait. Any ideas?views? opinion? Cheers Mike
