  1. good answers, just thoght id ask, rig mechanics can be confusing
  2. yeah defonately gary, and as always your rigs are very neat, but will the tubinig still coil between the points of the coiled weight or even worse cause an arch?
  3. is this a cheaper option? maybe used with soldering iron instead of out of leadcore?
  4. Your catching mate so stick at it, I werent knockin you. The reasons of single bait, pva, stringers, spodding etc go to far without the knowin more details, keep on catching. Bud
  5. So who has the rights to this lake? Drove past it many times and ive always wondered? Also opposite the road, back end of billing there appears to be another very large lake?
  6. Why put 4 boilies in your pva bag then randomly throw handfulls out? And that question goes to ant82! Sorry I forgot to "quote"
  7. Anything you like mate as long as it isnt water based? Put the hook through then twist the bag then put hook through again, mine never come off mate
  8. What a pointless idea in my opinion! Thought you were supposed to improve on products, not make them worse and takes away the versatility of single alarms. By buying these your restricting yourself so much!
  9. Cheers chap, think il just take me float kit and 1 carp or pike rod just to have a chuck in the sea! Ive never shore fished, only boat fished for cod where I had an 18 lb cod! Great eating
  10. Slide a korda sinker up your mainline then slide a bead over it then yor hooklink then another sinker and bead then tie on your lead (safety clip) simples
  11. Im off there start of september with the missus and kids and there are 2 lakes on the complex so just wondering if anyone been there and should I take my carp kit or float stuff? Also I wouldnt mind having a dabble in the sea ( shore or pier? If they have one?) could I use my 3 lb test rods and my daiwa big pits?
  12. Just bought my self some, 1320 metres 12lb 0.30mm, 11 quid. Will be spooling my reels tomorrow and hopefully get a chance to try it out tomorrow as well so will give it a review soon
  13. 5 for the day, 15 quid for 24 hours mate.
  14. I live in northampton shire mate, some cracking fish in billing, I always take me kids there.
  15. Hi mate, billin aquadrome in northants has 5 lakes, stretches of river. Carp to 40lb. Showers, pubs on site, shops, resteraunt etc
  16. I've worked in france years ago and I'm sure I drank the water, couldn't beleive there were chaps sitting by the door to the toilet charging people to use it!
  17. hi mate, ive been fishing here bout 20years now, that makes me feel old the corner your on about is where i had my pb, 22lb mirror. nice little pond but not sure what fish are in there anymore? Alot of the bigger ones got moved i believe. best way to fish this pond, in my experience, is to fish the margins. Always done better on meat and cheese as opposed to boilies etc. Also this lake can be great fun in the warmer months, getting them off the top. towards the evening they become suicidal! They will take anything off the top!
  18. as cc said your hooklength is free running on your mainline so if your mainline snaps the length can slide off. alot of people use leadcore leaders and if thats the case then you must make sure the bead and your hooklength can freely pass over the knot that joins the leadcore to your mainline, make sense?
  19. bought a copy, just gotta find time to read it!
  20. hi mate, welcome to the forum as for what to make your hair rigs out of all depends on the lake your fishing and different situations mate. you can use mono, braids or fluorocarbon?
  21. i know not the best knot but i know what knot not to use
  22. never foul hooked using a zig? the whole lake must have been doing it?
