  1. I think the main problem is people misuse them, wait till there have been incidents of people shooting them out of the sky or someone crashing one into some ones multi thousand pound setup.  :lol:

    Also wonder if some lakes might have flight restrictions over the land they sit on there are quite a few airports etc.. close to fisheries or fisheries located on flight paths 

  2. The frame is the same size i think, with the gear you have listed you would get away with the normal, but if you do I would maybe look at a puncture proof tyre as an after throught with going through streets and alleies, the fat boy is designed for larger loads as the wide wheel really helps with stability.  The key (and this is with any barrow) is to load it correctly so I would have your bait buckets etc over the wheel. 

  3. Not sure they need to be a new release from a tackle company

     

    The ESP Cryogens were a nice hook if the patterns suit your rigs, but after several recommendations and the patterns suit my rigs better I'm really impressed with the Atomic Hooks the Trappa and Sabre suit my current presentations perfectly sticky sharp and seem really strong.  :)

  4. As a preference i prefer the next size up from the micro swivels when using a blow back rig, I found (this is a personal opinion of course) the micro rings jammed up a lot more so if there was debris on the bottom there would be more chance of the ring sticking on movement, the small rings can also effect the rigs ability to reset.

    Disagree hutch, it sinks miles better IMO. I agree you still need putty but I found you need significantly less than with other coated braids.

     

    Fair comment, I don't tend to change hooklink materials much so only really have a couple to compare it against, my original purchase was based on someone I  know using it and he was impressed as well, i take it you use the semi stiff version  :?:

  6. Its a nice product, knots great, coating doesn't break when tightening it down, but don't believe all the sales blurb as it doesn't appear to sink any better than any other coated braid i have used so a little putty still needs applying (providing there is no crays in your water)

    crushed boilie or even a liquid so that they will take on some flavour simular to my hook bait 

     

    I can't comment on the other bits as I have no experience with storing maggots, but the other posters to seem to have this pretty well covered, I don't think you need to add anything to maggots there naturally attractive to the fish, I believe some match fishermen used to sprinkle spices on there maggots (tumeric mainly) in winter to make them more attractive.

  8.  

    Yeah, well I was just wondering why they make 100m long mainlines when they can just make 100/150/200/250/300 etc and make it so much easier for us fishermen... 

     

     

    Because then they can't sell you the idea that you need another line to bulk the spool out, I'm surprised no one does a bulking the spool line yet
