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 or Leadcore

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.

How should one choose the weight of a back lead？
greekskii replied to S34MH1's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I only use backleads when margin fishing to keep line pinned right down. I slide them on. Small ones around .5oz. captive backleads are something I’m looking at for a big pit im fishing. Still trying to work out if they’d actually be beneficial or not. -

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.

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.

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.

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.

Uncoated lead so you can feel more through it. I’m pretty sure you can get hold of small marker style leads. I often use a sea fishing breakaway lead, cut the arms down and cable tie them in position. Very useful for picking out debris or minor weed clearance in the margins. You can get them in all sizes fairly cheaply too on eBay.

Similar to yonny, I had a £75 club ticket last season, fished there for 3 nights and a £275 ticket (June-june) and I’ve only done 3 nights so far! Expensive trips. Spent most of my year fishing a club water for free as I’m on the committee! But none of those club lakes really do it for me tbh. hopefully fit in a couple more nights on the ticket before June but then I don’t know whether I’ll renew. See how it goes. Pretty expensive trips!
