Well humans make mistakes mate, I used them again recently via eBay (bought a nash bp6 reel) said it would be a week and turned up two days later, it funny how one company can give such varying levels of service
-
I like how the true order of service where monster munch are concerned was published perfectly by three diferent people.... 1. Flaming hot (all arguments to this are irrelevant 🤣😂) 2. Beef 3. Pickled onion
-
I also had two sets of the old Avon scales with the window that changes colour but they became unreliable very hard to zero/ not able to zero so bit the bullet and bought whychwood digital t bar scales a couple of months back......in true spr fashion I’ve not had a fish to test them yet 🤣😂
-
@yonny you just stepped into the frame my friend 😉 I’ve always read your writings and enjoyed them so over to you mate
-
My thoughts will be about as much use to people as a chocolate tea pot in front of a roaring fire 🤣😂 my thoughts at this point consist of.....I’ve regularly been getting done due to my lack of knowledge surrounding lead arrangements and shall be trying running rigs at the earliest opportunity to see if it improves a) my catch rate and b) my bite indication. @greekskii ‘s post has given me some food for thought and hopefully a boost to my catch rate.....but we shall see
-
@greekski you sir have just flicked the switch for the light bulb 💡 in my head! Great write up and I’m going to be looking into running rigs straight away.....as you may be aware I have posted quite often about always getting single beeps but nothing else and not catching very often and your post really made me think about how I use my leads....90% of my set ups are leads clips....10 % chods (with drop off system) all 3 of my recent fish have fallen to the chods. And I’d never even considered that it could be the way I’m using leads so thank you for the insight

Flavour of the Week - Shelters
spr1985 replied to yonny's topic in Carp Fishing Tackle and Equipment
I have a chub super cyfish 2 man - doesn’t get used anymore due to being way to big and buying a scope ops brolly system which suited me perfectly until I got the Titan tc pro at an unbeatable price scope ops brolly - goes in the car when I go fishing no matter what.....just in case I’m in a confined swim,or head to the river and it will also be used in winter for day sessions otherwise it’s the.... Titan tc pro goes everywhere with me and is super quick to put up and pack down has loads of room inside for all my gear so does me perfectly. And the vents in the back where a god send on Friday night I think if I hadn’t had that little bit of air movement I would have headed home -
Go on eBay save yourself a whole load of carp tax and normal money by doing so. Taska :- 222847067598 unbranded :- 263837929118 (I have this one, and as you will see they are nigh on identical)
-
Very nice and an absolute bargain to boot! i have a trek alpha 1.5 that I occasionally get my chunky but out on 🤣😂
-
I bought these ages ago.....not used yet but worth a pint at the price https://www.wish.com/product/new-bait-casting-machine-fishing-wheel-sports--fishing-5b19e326f4e37044dd14c75a
-
I’ve heard a drill with an old spool or something like a spool does the job nice and quick 😁 never tried it myself though (read no responsibility implied or taken)
-
If it makes ya feel better mate PayPal always say that just to cover their but, usually only takes a couple of days
-
I’ve used them via eBay on a few occasions and never had an issue...quite the opposite in fact......always found them to be very accommodating and excellent customer service. what you have said does not sound good though ! They shouldn’t really be selling a product they are not in possession of unles it clearly states it’s a pre order, at which point you pay your money and take your chances as we all know companies can’t control the supply chain. Hope you get it it all sorted out 😁
-
Yeah sneezing, coughing , getting “done over” by my three year old and played their part in making mine worse.... as for how 🤣😂🤣😂 i took some stuff to the dump and the skip was nigh on full so thinking I was clever lent my rather large frame over the side to put the rubbish further across (so it didn’t spill out) and there was an almighty crunch followed by a few expletives and a very painful drive home...that was three weeks ago....I’ve carried on working since it happened which hasn’t done me any favours (I’m in air con/ventilation and extract - read “blooming heavy equipment”) but bills to pay and all that. On a major plus I’m feeling a lot better than I have been and managed an overnighter so happy days. hope you feel a bit better soon mate 😁
-
If it makes ya feel any better mate I did a night last night with three broken ribs and it’s the best nights sleep I’ve had since I did it maybe give ya bed a try and see how it feels
-
My club lakes seem to be doing ok, lefty of fish activity, water levels are good. And a few fish been coming out. treating myself to a night in bayeswater tonight 😁 hopefully I’ll be posting in the catch reports later on
-
Well I’m on the bank and and this happened rite over my spot.....thought I was onto a winner but no more bubbles and no take
-
For anyone interested.... as I said previously it was changing from dayticket to club and here is the info I was just forwarded
-
Such a shame, aside from a few (in my opinion) silly rules it would be a fantastic fishery, and as you say good for taking beginners under supervision
-
I can assure you that’s a new rule, as when I enquired and got the response that I did I searched the website for any such rule, but agreed absolutely ridiculous rule, although I can appreciate if it’s for insurance purposes/ stipulated in their policy then fair enough.....it was just the attitude and judgement that I frowned upon
-
If you can explain how to do this on an I phone I’m all ears 🤣😂🤣 I have a 20gb data plan so I’m all good but maybe useful for others
-
Yonny* NOT Tony 🙃
-
Tony helped me out the other day with this exact problem, (I have the iPhone 7+) I had to get the photo up on the screen and then screenshot it then upload the screen shot, worked perfectly
-
I’ve been trying to find this too, saw the one on the bay for £60 odd and one on amazon for £2.5k (yes you read that rite) I’ve also messaged me peck himself asking where to get a copy but no response 😐
-
That’s disgusting! And sensas are putting their name to it 😡 everyone of them should be ashamed of themselves
