Bivvy or no bivvy or brolly
jh92 replied to David_Ridgers's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I like to go as light as possible, but I think its down to where you're fishing..if I'm fishing a big open reservoir I'd take a brolly, but if I'm fishing a smaller lake I won't take one unless there's rain forecasted for that day -
My dad uses the Fox A pod, its a nice bit of kit and really sturdy. I use bank sticks but I've been looking at getting the Fox X pod.. But I see there's one of the same design for £50 cheaper done by sonik, so might have to get that one instead http://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/sonik-sks-black-rod-pod

Thanks for this! Ended up using some thin coated garden wire, wrapped it around a baiting needle to make a spring and tied it on a hair. Going to test it out in a minute
-
Great value for money mate been using diawa sensor for years for all my fishing
-
Wouldn't a maggot feeder or a pill bottle be too big? Sorry for any confusion but I meant something like this
-
Just made some cheese paste and was wondering if its possible to make your own paste cages or if theres a better way to use it? Any info would be great thanks
-
Thanks for the replies, been reading some reviews and from what you guys say, I think I'll give them a miss. Is there anything similar you can recommend? I'm just looking for something easy to travel with on a push bike
-
Has anyone here used one before? I'm thinking of getting a pair of 9ft 2.75lb t/c for the river. At the moment you can get them on eBay for about £40 each. Are they worth the money? Any info would be great thanks

I use a basic hair rig for all my fishing, maybe with abit of shrink tubing. The braid I use for the rigs is sufix sheath skin and for hooks I use korda kurv shank size 8 barbless. I've had great results on all the lakes I fish and it works out really cheap as well lol
-
Ended up ordering the xl one
-
Which size do you use? I've been watching a few videos and can't decide which size I should get lol
-
On my smaller reels I use 10lb daiwa sensor and on my big pit reels I use 15 or 18lb daiwa sensor, its been that long since I last despooled I can't remember lol but its cheap and cheerful and does the job
-
Great thanks mate, seriously thinking of getting one had a look mate and the cradle one is a bit out of my price range. Is the brand sonik good? Can get a sonik SKS cradle for £36
-
Around £30 mate, I think that ones out of my price range lol Does it take up much room or does the it squash down mate? Looks decent though I think I'll be getting it
-
I usually put mine in my bag but if its causing damage you could try a bit of PVC pipe mate put a cap on the bottom/top
-
Can anyone recommend a decent mat that isn't very expensive? I've seen a few online done by abode and ngt, they look good but you don't really know until you see it in front of you lol thanks
