This is true

Congratulations on passing your theory test; only your driving test to go now and then you begin to learn how to drive

Nice one D. Good to see you enjoyed yourself and caught

Ian, I agree with you 100%. I swear like a trooper, but it just isn't right when it's used in the written word. I've also visited some sites where there is no swear filter and every other word is a profanity. Needless to say, I didn't stay long But it's not gonna stop me having a pop at our swear filter every now and then

I was talking about feline companions mate

Ahh. Didn't realise you had a few p u s s i e s to play with

Do you have a dog named Fanny then CM? EDIT - Woo Hoo. That worked

Minge EDIT - That works but s n a t c h doesn't The fantastic filter once again shows that it isn't actually worth much

I actually think that on a very weedy lake, and if you are allowed, braid is better and the way to go. Although I did post it knowing it could spark a well overdone debate again

I'd use a braid. Its definitely the way to go :evilgrin: Along with bigger barbed hooks of course

Two stunners (Which are definitely related ). Sounds like a great week Emcee

Wrong place

I don't even know where it is

I got an email last night and apparently the barbless and the chod krank are now available.

They are going to be bringing out a barbless version but for some reason they didn't bring them out at the same time

Since I've bought some I've only fished barbless lakes but I think they are a great hookpattern, really appeal to me. Good to hear they perform as well as I hoped While writing that, I just wondered why I haven't used them and crushed the barb

If you're adding an additional knot to the line which has left your spool there is additional risk that it can snap, no matter what. If you want to go down that route then you have to decide how big the additional risk is and if you are prepared to accept it. If you decide to try it; I'd put on about 20 foot of fluoro. Should give you a nice big zone for feeding.

You sure you're not buying Chinese knock off hooks? Snapped an Ace and opened up a Korda Seems fishy to me

Don't like sarky answers, or people with a sense of humour See you in three years With regards to a sensible answer I've got 50lb Arma-Kord on both my spod rod and marker rod and, touch wood, it's never let me down yet.

Was music even invented then?

Embryo is a non profit making organisation (Although more than likely tax deductible ). There is no doubt that it will make Korda and Guru more money in the long run as a natural side effect of the good work that it will do. And rest assured, there is no one in the angling fraternity that I would ever consider a hero. I enjoy a good debate, and this is one of the few subjects that can be debated online with a minimal risk of being misconstrued / misunderstood. Don't apologise for having a point of view. I can categorically say that I will not become upset, irate or sulk because of an alternative point of view

He is using his own money to start Embryo (Albeit he is asking for people to donate things, so I don't know how much of his own money )

No, it's not. But any old excuse to bash DF. No need to bring common sense into the equation

Correct, they (Daiwa) stuck £50 on the rod price. Nothing to do with Danny Fairbrass (Unless you believe that Danny Fairbrass sets Daiwa prices ) or Korda, therefore it isn't a reason that can be used to 'bash Danny Fairbrass'. An excuse maybe; but only to try and justify the undeserved abuse that is levied in the first place.
