    I see . This can happen with any reel mechanism.

    I had to check the date of this thread to make sure it wasn't April the 1st .

    Weighing fish in the landing net is poor fish care in my book . There is a reason why we support under the fish in the net when lifting out of the water . These purpose made slings are definitely the right option.

    This is how I see it to Big common I have similar standards and is also no surprise to me at the two members that decided to launch an attack on chillfactor. And in answer to his original post No I wouldn't pay the recommended retail price for some of those items. but at the same time if I didn't have the same stance as Bishop some of the discount prices are good value for people on a tight budget.

    I must admit I was thinking exactly the same . Glad you said something as it turns out it wasn't 19lb 14 after all !
  7. Carp angler
    You can buy it up to 14 mm just depends how heavy you are and how you like your bed really . Not much difference between the 8 and 6 mm though. 10 to 14 is for a firmer feel .

    Did mine with 6mm elasticated bungee cord. And it worked a treat.

    Well if Jim shelley said it , well it has to get true ! Met him once on the bank and that was one to many times not a likable chap .
  11. Carp angler
    Me neither chap regarding the elastic rig .And completely agree with what your saying. Just wrote something along these very lines on the upper 20 topic.
  12. Carp angler
    Yes probably that too . How are you guys doing the laughing emotions?

    I too found triggerlink a waste of time . Another gimmick . I am very much in the keep it simple camp . Location, Bait and bait application is far more important than some over complicated rig. I am positive that many of these rigs are made by anglers by simply putting all the components they have in a bag giving it a good shake and seeing what comes out the other end!

    Always make the loop in the thicker material with the albright knot . Just wondering what breaking strain mono would be best now . Probably 15lb ?
  15. Carp angler
    Hi there . Yes I know it's fine for mono to braid it's a fantastic knot for that . Was wondering if it's OK for the materials salokcinnodrog mentions as neither are braid.
  16. Carp angler
    Thanks for the reply. I prefer the albright knot would that be OK for non braid materials? Can't seem to get on with the grinner/ uni knot. Although I will try what you recommend. Thanks again .

    Morning. I've always used braid on my spod set up , been on Berkley whiplash but I am fed up with getting terrible knots in it when reeling it back off the sticks . So looking to ditch the braid for a mono & leader set up any recommendations for this set up ? I use the large spomb & fish at long distance some times so needs to be able to handle the forces of a big chuck . Cheers .
