  1. Can I just add most lead clips work with size 8 swivels not ten. Phil
  2. As Nick said above should be written on the packet.... And as for your other question not used them myself but I think there used for locking your swivel in place.
  3. ....anyone got a hint for removing red wine from a keyboard??? Del I've heard white wine should do the trick Del
  4. It's not in my area mate... but just googled it out of curiosity and it seems there's always plenty of fish on the bank.. have a look for your self at the recent catch list... might help.

  7. Just spoke to a mate of mine he reckons most of it is BAA , but there are a few bits near the main road on the right if you were travelling towards Stourbridge that are owned buy someone else but he didn't no who. hope this helps a little Gary.
  8. Phil im using the esp curve shank and i am thinking of moving over the the mugga's, they look like they have a slightly wider gape, whats your opinion The mugga are a wider gape than the esp hooks I've used Gary and I really like the curve to the mugga the line comes off the eye at a very nice angle in my opinion, and they sharpen nicely when needed.
  9. same principal having the buoyant bait on the inside rather than the out . so yeah it counts nice one
  10. I would worry about the line rubbing on the inside of the lead and the top and bottom lip of the lead its always a bit rough ware the coating stops. Although I'm sure you make sure it's all smoothed off Gary others might not .
  11. Have a great time very jealous look forward to your write up

  15. Hello there Jules had a short 24 session a few years back when i was on holiday near buy, stunning scenery and some decent fishing . I didn't have anything of any real size 16lb was my biggest but had a few doubles and was more than happy when i left , there are showers there and there's no extra charge to use them if your fishing.
  16. GT 80 has had a good following since its introduction in 2003.Sorry you didn't like it because we found it bullet proof. Its not in many shops at the moment because we're replacing it with GT80+ which has slightly better knot strength and abrasion resistance. Original GR60 should be available for another 2 years possibly longer if demand continues. Pro-Carp was introduced this year in an effort to provide a good reliable line for less than ten quid--check the knot strength against any .35 line,and the abrasion resistance is right up there. Hope this helps. Richard. Good to hear GR60 will be around for a few more years , and even better to hear from the manufacturers them selves. very impressed
  17. I must admit that I avoided GR60, for its breaking strain it was a very thick line (15lb was 0.40mm I think from memory), and compared to some other lines was expensive. With the price of the Pro-Carp I'm a lot happier putting my money that way now IT is a little thicker in diameter but were only talking fractions of a mm its how it performs that matters to me and it's never let me down and there's a few people I know that swear buy it including uk carp champions . But everyone has there favourite I guess thanks for your input though nick and will be keeping an eye on your bank side test of your new line. as i will need to change at some point.
  18. I've heard that myself zammo, got a couple of GR60 bulk spools from my mates shop as he said it would be his last delivery but it wont last for ever , it's a shame is a very good line imo
  19. I have been using insight GR60 line for years but i think they are fazing it out with some new versions taking its place , so will be interested in your findings Nick . Good work
  20. Hi there you asked about Eastnor castle Very nice place to fish I was on there syndicate a few years back before my son was born , Ian the guy who runs it no longer has a waiting list , you have to phone him around the time of renewals and if your lucky you might get on there if some people dont renew if you would like his number i can pm you with it . all the best Phil.
