I would love a boxer,but with me and missus working all day it wouldnt be fair to have one. Would have to have it from a pup aswell. My mum and dad got one 2 weeks before i was born so i grew up with him and he was the nicest softy ever.i used to sleep in his basket with him! Yet he was also the best guard dog aswell.always used to check me and my sister were in our beds before he went to bed! I will have one one day but just not practicle at the minute!

Thats exactly it.and i havent changed it because why change something thats working.i had blanked for 5-6 sessions and tried combis and had 2 on the place im fishing. Was just wondering how other people use it!!

How long do you have the supple braid on a combi? Iv started using this rig and have so far been doin well on it with the supple bit being about a inch long,blowback style with a small snowman set up. Was talking to someone last time i was fishing and they reckon my braid bit was to long (but its working for me). Also said i shouldnt have a loop knot as it acts as a hinge and wont kick the rig away from lead (even though i slip a bit of tube over the know and quick clip to stop this) So basically just wondering how people set theirs up and for what situations!!

Was havin a chat earlier with a mate and got onto subject of coated or un coated braid! So which do you use for what rig and what bottom?

just got my fluorocarbon,going to use cheap mono for backing line,but what knot do i use? same as for tying mono to spool?

thanks alot for the help chaps! one last question, if i go braid why use the coated stuff?is it just so it sinks better?

thanks jemsu5! that is exactly why im going to be using fluoro as mainline,to help keep the whole lot hidden and to slack line! the other half got me some hooks for xmas,korda wide gape and korda kurv shank so i would like to make use of these really! so am i right in thinking because of the eye angle on these hooks it would be best to use braid? or could i possibly streighten the eye? sorry for all the questions but i want to make sure everything is right and dont want something silly to mess it all up! i basicsally want a couple of rigs,one pop up and one bottom that i can start with and then go on from their!

I did think that rowleycarper but i read people have trouble with knots breaking and you cant use the knotless knot with it?also that it can curl up and needs to be streightend? I was looking at braid as people say its more supple and gives better presentation but their are so many options of braid! Also is it fairley easy to use?

im going to give using fluorocarbon mainline a go and see how i get on with it but i have a couple of questions! first what would you use as a hooklength? (braid/fluoro etc) second, if i go for 15lb main line what lb hooklength should i be using? i no it depends on conditions etc but just a general idea would be good,i have searched it but not come up with alot!! iv been using mono and kind of want to step it up a bit now!
