[Are these man enough????...............................]

Yes

[Korda Distance Sticks]

The new Korda distance sticks (Made in association with JAG) are a little pricey at £59.99, but I like the look of them.

 

They've got a few features that definitely appeal to the tackle tart in me

[Boilie gun]

I managed to pick up one similar to this at a car boot sale the other weekend. £4 with all the nozzles and a 14mm rolling table. bargain. Making pop-ups will never be easier this winter

I tend to find that the cork balls clog up the gun

[Haynes Carp Rig Book]

I went to my local Right Move to get a copy today and they threw me out

[Boilie gun]

Ryobi One electric mastic gun with a cleaned out decorators caulk tube.

 

Works perfectly

[Hook sharpening.]

I sharpen. Not normally out of the packet, but a little honing before a recast rather than replace the rig.

[Cheeky Heater?]

I've got one. Don't use it very often, but I love it when I do.

 

I make sure that I turn it off when I'm sleeping, but during the day it's fantastic for keeping the chill off of the air.

 

No idea of it will work with propane, as I've never tried. It's great for warming the bivvy up a bit during the day though.

[Bivvy or no bivvy or brolly]

Korum day shelter, for me (With regards to the OP, not the pop up bivvy debate )

[PVA?]

Ask Tim. He's always raving about an eBay supplier (Can't remember who and am to lazy too look; hence the ask Tim )

[Recommend winter suits]

I've got a Trakker suit; the equivalent these days is the F-32 .

 

Great but of kit for the money, in my opinion.

[In need of a catapult.]

I've got the Korda and the ESP. The ESP is much better, in my opinion.

[Whats the point in a bait runner reel?]

I have both and use both. Both are used exactly the same way with one being a switch on the back and the other a kno.b on the front.

 

No difference between the two.

 

Incidentally, the person / persons that are walking around the lake leaving theirs on 'free spool' could do so with or without baitrunners

[New line :) Subline?]

I used subline and hated it.

 

It was OK at first but soon became twisted to he'll and acted like a coiled spring.

 

It didn't last a full season on my reels.

[The football thread]

It's embarrassing for European football that the Euro 2016 champions have only won two games in the last month.

 

Totally undeserving champions, in my opinion.

[The football thread]

Baaaaahahahahahahahaha Ronaldo looks to be injured.

 

What a shame...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOT

[Dried Sweetcorn!]

...forget the boilies, big con.

Why do you use them then?

 

#confused

[Best rig for presenting worms for carp]

Short rig with a nice big hook, no hair, the worm threaded onto the hook a few times and up the hooklink slightly. 

[spod/ marker braid?]

30lb braid with a 50lb shock leader for me.

 

The reason is because that's what I wanted to use

[Barrows]

Worth buying a can of tyre weld Vik, reinflates and seals, 5 pound a can from the garage.

 

Then you've got to run the wheel at 30mph for a couple of miles to get it to run all round the wheel 

[Barrows]

Yep i got the pre Camo one which to be honest has transformed my Logistics, I can hump alll my gear in one go without stopping for a rest.

I have however got a few Camo replacement's saved in my E-bay...

Not camo, but the new front wheel pannier bags look like a good addition

[Barrows]

Fantastic bit of kit here.

 

Only beaten by the power porter, in my opinion (Which is too expensive for my taste (At the minute ))

[Which ridgemonkey toaster?]

Both

[The football thread]

France are through to the quarter finals. Great try by Ireland but France were too much for them, in the end.

[The football thread]

Ireland down to 10 men. Danger of a big score to France if it continues like this.

[The football thread]

Oh, Dear. France take the lead and are in total control.

 

Come on the Irish. Don't let your heads drop.
