Yes Tim .... used it last week at the woolpack social. First impressions are good, certainly a bigger footprint than my old armo 2man , which could be a problem if swims a tight . Had thunder storms / hail & coped fine . Its a different set up to my old armo in regards to pole layout, the porch on the new Hq is part of the pram hood, where as the armo you had to insert the poles for the porch . My only worry with this is in strong winds , I had to take the porch off the armo a few times in the big gails to stop it trying to take off , this won't be an option with the HQ . Overall I like it good material etc will just have to see when it comes to the really carpy weather & the big winds.

Enjoy mate 😎

Been a few times & always Enjoyed it .

Busy stockie slaying.... think they've had ten carp between them , all recent stockies & few tench . We knew where some better fish were but couldn't get on them.

Well, back home now from the woolpack. mates and doing another night , but I had to get home ... off to Scotland on a family holiday in the morning. Ended up with 9 takes & 8 tench 🙈 biggest was probably 8lb ish . But a blank on the carp front !

That's what we thought mate when the offer was made . Managed 3 bites so far , 1 lost & 2 Tench . Leaning towards the lost fish being a Tench too . All 3 very similar bites"drop backs" Nige has had 2 stockies & mick 1 stockie all low doubles. Think we've had 7 bites between us . Just need what's on the end to change 🤞

Well the exclusive lake we had booked at woolpack ,has started spawning 🙈. As we were here, we ended up on one of the syndicate lakes instead of a refund, so only just got the rods out & sorted. 🤞

Thanks mate .... certainly some proper old fish to try & trip up. 😎🤞

Sounds like a good social Kev .... & plenty of fish banked, quality too 😎 My social is still on for next week at the woolpack, just hoping it doesn't get cut short with spawning, first trip since late summer last year .🤞

Nice though 😁

Paid £440 for the HQ 2man which was a good price I thought. Not even looked at it yet tbh been to busy ! Still in the box 🙈 , probably turn up to the lake still in the box 🙈😁

Hi mate .... I purchased the avid HQ , thanks for the input though 👍

As of today they haven't spawned on the exclusive lake... but from what your saying it doesn't sound good .

Hello fella .... looking for a bit of local info . What the situation with spawning in your area? , got a horrible feeling this trip might get knocked on the head or cut short .

Took my boy to a crazy mountain bike down hill park yesterday called wind Hill .... of course me being me gets far to carried away & can't resist going mack10 down these tracks, it was always going to end in a big crash 🙈 Bruised & cut , stitches to my face & currently in bed feeling my age 😆 good crack though .👍 Think I'll stick to fishing 😂

Thanks mate ..... got one on order 👍

3ft pop ups 😇😁

Sound mate.... speak closer to the time 👍

No wonder you blanked then mate.... this points out the exact reason I don't use any gadgets in my fishing. If I would of had that info & not been able to fish zigs .... would of done my head right in 🙈

Thanks Tim 👍

Looks like zigs would of produced bites .... 3 zigs on that patrol height 🎣😁 Cheating mind 😇🤣🙈

I remember when Kev purchased his avid brolly & was impressed with the material , the same is used on the HQ .

Welcome to come & say hello fella ...may 23rd - 27th 👍 p.s bring kebabs 😁

A mates booked the exclusive lake at the woolpack fishery , not somewhere I know but the fish look nice . Just had a look for new armo's stock might be an issue! Anyone use the avid 2man HQ ?

Very nice gents 😎👏
