  1. It is downright invisible, even in clear water. But im not looking from underneath/alongside it am I! Knot strength is great, beds down very well too. Not used it much, still have my fox submerge leaders at the moment but new ticket later this year has a leadcore ban (assuming it means leadfree leaders too) so will get more use soon.
  2. I have just started playing with the avid fluoro leader material https://www.avidcarp.com/Products/End-Tackle/Outline-Fluorocarbon-Leader Seems like good stuff, just needs a good stretch once off the spool as you'd expect.
  3. Good job. Nice to see some DIY equipment. If you back to back two rake heads and cable tie them with the metal ties you get a big rake, maybe too effective as you may need a whole army to pull it out depending on how weedy the place is!!
  4. Luck of the draw but shouldn't be that way when you pay that much for them. If it was only one or two then obviously there will be manufacturing defects, however there are too many of the same complaints.
  5. I've got the older version of the TXI pluses and they've been fine for me (got them second hand too) in all conditions. Only sent one back because the Y bar was slightly damaged after fishing locked up to snags and a violent take, receiver went back because I damaged the battery connector when putting a new one in. Seem to be much better quality than the newer version
  6. I used to use it all the time on simple knotless knot rigs. Don't have a need now I use multi rigs for 90% of my fishing. Have found it useful if I run out of anti-tangle sleeves or want to extend a loop to stop it tangling. I use it over any leader knots or when joining stiff materials and braid for the stiff multi rig just for added protection on the knot and for something for the putty to grip
  7. Same place as the neutrally balanced rig ring screw
