Maples are the particle I would go back to if I had the time to have a turnover…or the need for mass particle baiting. @OldBoy not at all. I love a good particle chat. I don’t tend to use them much anymore as I do very short session and mainly fish over boilie only or pellet for ease. I don’t get time to pre-bait nowadays!

I’ve just made some tigers. I add heaps of dark brown sugar at the soaking stage. Boil it in the same solution. Really kick starts the “gooing” stage. Two nights in a relatively cool garage and there is a heavy goo already. poor example as tigers don’t take much on but I tried one and they are super sweet compared to a standard one cooked without sugar. I don’t add anything to particle apart from sugar, salt or garlic. Occasionally chilli. No artificial stuff, think it defeats the point. as Yonny said you dont boil out salt or sugar. When you cook pasta you add salt to the boiling water before adding to pasta, to enhance its flavour. You then boil it and you get the taste. The salt remains. Sugar in the same.

You can already buy silly priced pots of particle hookbaits. They are out there.

30 day battery life isn’t bad tbh. Assuming you did 4 full 24hrs a month you’d only recharge a few times a year. For me though carrying a spare battery or two is easier than having to recharge an alarm on the bank if you forget to recharge at home. Or it drains quicker than expected or something.

Leadfree. Just use the c clip style beads and attach it with a palomar knot for a very small knot. I use braid through to a leader. have used fox submerge for years and can’t fault it.

Be handy on the pit when the wind is up. You might have to dig them out so I can see what ancient relics look like 😂

Dumbbell boilies? Mixers for surface fishing? Circle punched meat or pepperami?

It was shot because animals were ingesting them I believe. Not sure how much it was actually happening but that was the reason I’m sure. dropping the lead with rotten bottoms has been a thing for decades. Well before mainstream angling channels brought it to the masses. Can imagine back in the 80s and early 90s they were uncoated too.

Big Bad Barry from Ben and Holly!

Not watching it as above, he’s just out to make his money mainly. Does he go in to how long it takes a coated lead, which most are nowadays, takes to actually leach toxic metals in to the water to the extent they have an effect on the environment? The process of how that works? Or anything like that? I’d be more worried about the microplastics than the lead.

Where’s my invite?!

Golf gloves are brilliant for casting if you know anyone that has old ones (depending on which way you cast/they play golf) but generally can get cheap gloves for a tenner and they’ll last you years.

You clearly fish all the places this type go to, which would suggest that you are one of them! 😂😂 that’s in jest of course, but you are clearly fishing the wrong venues.

Temu mate.

Absolutely disgraceful in my opinion. Use just enough light and only when you need it. that being said, the use of this sort of lighting in an angling environment could be detrimental to bats and as such could be a prosecutable offence. something tells me the post is satire though.
