yes a fair bit of end tackle, the fused booms and leaders are good they are better than korda as they are pure fluorocarbon, tho combi booms are the best out there that fused section and ring really does make a neat rig. their lead clip leader with the long speed link is great on silty lakes.

Noticed a bait just out called the fully loaded think it has all the above chucked in it, i don't like the companies sales tactics so i doubt i will use it plus i thought a seed base bait alone was so the fish could pass it through in cold weather at normal speed, where as a meat/fish bait would or could bung them up for a few days?

the leads didn't make past the testing casts, worked ok until you try to control the line mid cast, you have to land it like a spomb or it wont release., be good for a pub chuck on a massive water like the north sea.

i have often thought about getting a deeper, i think it would be too much for me i can't even work the how to use videos out, it would end up in the tackle box next to the gemini ARC lead system i have never used.

it was definitely a boom moment

Chris uses pellets as a supplementary feed uses big 20 mm on the little lake, did ask why not use boilies as he once did, but he got moaned at for basically baiting up for you? he was using Nash baits so they must be ok and he was selling them, just does the pellet now sells a sack for £28, bag of pellets and a yellow pop up was hammering the middle lake last winter and spring.

don't know much about sonar, but the guys that use it rate the new chirp as it works in very shallow water where as the non chirp is not as accurate. a guy uses one on the lakes i fish and he does really well on all three waters.

Gemini do a good curve hook the Aquiline Hooks, not sure on their other patterns but the aquiline is very robust.

pellets or boiles, why do carp anglers still use large amount of boilies when pellets are just as good and a lot cheaper. don't get me wrong i still use more boilies than pellet. Another observation through trial and error is leaders previous session i had four fish off the same spot with no leader but i did have to re do my rod due to the line taking a beating, so this time out i used a leader on the same spot fishing just the same as the previous session, but only had one fish, the spot had fish feeding on it the whole time i was there, but what a difference the fish were being a lot more cagey.

take some air out the wheels that will get your legs working, thought my barrow was fully inflated till i loaded it up the other day, I may as well been pushing it flat.

got to agree on the distance sticks anyone know if they came from carp angling or match fishing, bit of a crossover.

10 fts Fox Torque in 3lb test, the casting is action is good and the fish playing action is 100 %.

my rods, absolute perfection i was getting bait boat accuracy with them this weekend effortless.

Meet plissken he is a mean little critor. https://youtu.be/kkhuY5bJONc

Your still going on about nothing other than how educated you are, now lets see shall we, I deal with phcologists CPNs family court tribunals, I have worked in the emargancey housing department at the local council, that includes dealing with some of the worst wrong uns society produces, my Mrs is a criminal psychologist specialising in forensic psychology, now tell me more about your fine word smithery.

On the bank and first rod is out had to get a quick grass snake video, not much few pics as well

It's not your writing. just hope you didn't C&P you way through uni, the only writing of your own is just subjective piffle presented as fact and backed up by an unwavering ego.

Ha ha garbage? nope just an explanation in my own vernacular, i guarantee nobody will read your copy paste, condense it down to your own every language use, or are you not able to?

some crazy looking alarms about these days i like the basic look of a fox, even if the new mx range looks nasty the new micron makes up for that though seem to be a very popular alarm.

looks real good, baitworks would be my first choice, i used the royal marine before a very high quality bait, only used once and didn't catch but that's more the lake i was fishing, if i could by it in large bulk and freeze i'd be happy, trying to order a few kilo here and there is not very practical so i try to call in the bait makers themselves, back to the topic of why bait is being discounted could be a number of things combining, over production based on last year's sales, end of summer stockpile and more people want a better bait, even the mighty Mainline struggles for freezer space in the shops. Mainline seemed to lose the plot after cell keep trying for something really different to the rest but not really doing much.

wish i could get that organised i got a new leader this week i must bee keen as i tied on the same day, should be out Thursday was going tomorrow but that went west fast, pick the bait up from whacker catcher after i set up in my peg lol. got the hook baits already so i'm halfway there.

talking of baitworks see they have a new one out or new to me, looks good as well, just the kind of bait i was messing with from JB, the shrimp ecton berry is a real nice bait very soft and made to dissolve out food signals as it's a feed bait that needs to be found and ate. https://www.baitworks.co.uk/product-categories/creamino-boilies

none of them to be honest they are good baits but you can get a lot better for less money, they are made for retail first which means they store well, where as a fresh rolled bait is nice as is, no glugs or powders., i will happily use, baitworks, cov carp baits, whacker catcher, sticky would be a great bait to roll yourself.

Another way of looking at a good HNV bait is when you take it to a runs water that has a fair number of good doubles like mallard at stanwicks, the better fish will get on a good bait, even on my syndicate, if you put a good bait in the water they will go over and chow down right before your eyes, just come out of nowhere truck across the lake flashing there dorsals and disappear over the bait, sometimes you wont even get a bleep., chuck cheap bait in or should i say retail shelfie as they are not cheap, and they just wont feed on them in fact due to them resembling a pile of hook baits i think they bolt from them?

I think the more wraps of carbon the rod is made with the stiffer it will be, a single wrap rod would be better but also more expensive, it was the main feature i looked for in my price range, my 10 3lb rods are perfect for me, distance or close in, the difference in trying to fish the same with cheap rods is really noticeable.
