I've used the camotex & stopped using it pretty quickly, the coating crinkles up far to easily for my liking. The korda alternative or esp tungsten are far superior, really impressed with the esp stuff tbf after " yonny" put me on to it . those two 40lb plus cats I had last year both powerd through a large lillie bed & had to be played back through it, not a mark on the rig ...in fact it was the same rig that landed both fish . I would save ya money & avoid the fox stuff .

She's a goodun lads no doubt, her legs have just started to play up this last year or so . Been giving her a supplement the last few months & have definitely noticed she's not quite so stiff/ lame after exercise & is generally moving a little easier, there' no miracle cure for old age but think it's making her more comfortable so going to stick with it . Mans best friend without doubt.

Not the same without my old girl with me especially on the long sessions , my new water allows dogs witch is great as she's getting on now bless her & want to make the most of the time left with her & fishing is a big part of that . she's been on a load of socials over the years with old members off here never been a problem in fact quite often the first thing mentioned is " are you bringing Jess "

it Will all be intertwined somewhere down the line if there using the same tooling , knowing how it all works a little some one got them in the factory in the first place who more than likely has involvement in one or both .

so who owns Cyprinus then ?

aqua use a higher rated aquatex than they put on the trakker models .... hence why they are a bit more pricey again .

pretty sure the materials are different mate having seen them in the flesh . the aqua is different again from the trakker higher rated aquatex .

still sounds good though fella

can't see it being aquatex though lads like the trakker ?

well gave it as long as I could gents but no snow carp .... it was getting over 2ft deep on the track out so was time to make a start on the long journey home , would of stayed longer if i could of but needed to get back to the family. started slowly as we couldn't get up the hill out of the lake lol . But a bit of graft on the shovel & we were soon on our way. loved it

come on the carp

yeah just the way it goes ... still just good to be out Ian ... bit of a social as well as a good friend is in the peg to my right & hopefully Nige will be able to pop down for a catch up . not shows Bird life ... there are fish moving about but silver's & toothy critters, may get the lure rod out & some point .

hope to see you later on though mate? I can see me having issues trying to leave tomorrow with even more snow forecast , left Kate with 4×4 I'm in the old van lol

morning all ... reels & alarms frozen solid going to change all three on to zigs today & give that a go I reckon. forecast is for a lot more snow so getting home could be interesting tomorrow !

was exactly the same setting up at midnight last night mate ... got a sweat on getting everything to the peg, nothing worse when it's Baltic as you really can get cold if your not to careful once you stop . won't lie its a chilly one tonight lol

well the old girls acting like a puppy again in the snow

looks a cracking Dog.... sad to hear he's gone , my old girl is getting on now . took her to a chiropractor the other day to try & help her out a bit get her moving a bit easier .

(leggs007 old member ) . Will have a look for it at some point mate .

never fished that complex Kev.... I know Mick rates it .

Does it echo when you break wind

walking like you've had a day in the saddle by any chance kev

think the yellow strap are 700e just a slightly newer model with upgraded pvc white straps are 600 d . I use mine in my river clearing snags underwater trees really tough material very impressed with what they withstand I must admit . mine are the 700 e but shouldn't think there's much in it . do the 600 d have an internal pocket kev?

probably a really good move Gary ... yet another water park carp lost to an otter. this could of quite easily of come from your pit you were fishing , dragged from a lake into the river churn .

sound ideal Gary .... does it have sailing boats on buy any chance?
