The thing is the system Delkims use only exists due to the patents at the time , they couldn't use a roller so had to come up with another solution a good one maybe to sensitive probably .Alot of takes are more than one bleep so most alarms will suffice . If you want to see all the action use a float lol .

In simply terms id you imagine the rod blank having a a line running along its length , this is its spine this will be very slightly stiffer . Some rod builders place the rings on this spine others opposite the spine .

No need to try it , was my 1st saturday job bait/tea boy . Scary thing is my hands & lower arms where covered in Chrysodine .

Maggots no longer feed once removed from the food source at the bait farm , hence why it's difficult to colour them the Bronze dye we used to use is very carcinogenic . Red maggots are feed the red coloring at the bait farm while they are still feeding .

Adding ground bait or crushed boillie may just clog up , we used to use a mixture of sawdust and maize the idea was to clean and keep them dry .

Some good advice the main trick is to keep them cold . Once you buy them they will not re-feed so just make sure the saw dust is kept dry/clean ,maggots sweat ammonia .Store in as big as container as possible this will stop them produce heat as they move against each other.

total guess as I don't use Delk's but phone , ipad , baitboat could all be the cause .

I'm glad you post here , it's worth reading for the comical factor , keep it up .

So just where have you got your ' most tackle thefts are done by out of work druggies ' from . JUST STOP trying to state your opinions as facts . I'm not saying what you have seen / had happen hasn't BUT what i'm also saying has and does happen , some small crime dna has helped solve much larger crime FACT. I'm not saying every crime is treated in the same way but please remember I may just know more facts than yourself ( I don't work for a department store )

That's the one case you have the facts about , NOT every case is the same . A career thief may not know anything about fishing so how would he know what the good items are ?? The fact is thieves will and do turn up in a van and just empty a garage , shed storage etc , they may not even sell the items direct themselves and not all stolen items are sold at bootsales they are sold through every platform . Don'y be so blind to accept other scenarios and facts just because you have not heard of it happening .

You should maybe ask yourself what some of us members here do before you start trying to carry on spouting your rubbish By the way I'm in no way saying the items are stolen , but don't presume just because you are collecting from a house does not mean they are not . Unfortunately stolen goods come up for sale on every platform including forums . Sorry to the OP for going off topic

People smash car windows to steal a few quid in change !!! Say the guy had all his gear in a garage , thieves pull up in a van break into the garage and just take everything and yes this DOES happen ., some criminals will take everything they have touched to save leaving any prints/dna .

Could easily be stolen , not sure why it's unlikely !

Whilst I totally agree with you about stolen items , if you don't buy it someone else will . I've taken car reg and a sneaky photo before just in case .

I'd buy a nice mature lake .

Are you talking about the lake in Dartford ? If so not sure asking around on internet forums is the best place to start . I'd have a walk round and chat to a few fellow members .I know a few of the guys that fish on there they have a few socials in the pub . Net size I would imagine min 42"

Ideal for dog walking , but don't forget while walking your generating heat unlike sitting while fishing hence two different objectives . A decent wax jacket will be 100% waterproof , not breathable though .

Can't find ' Elm Tree Country Wear' but if they are a standard wax jacket then they are not a thermal winter coat , waterproof and windproof yes . The ex military ones normally offer the best performance , but don't forget your layers .

You got a link ?

when you say cabins or huts do you mean to fish from rather than using a bivvy ?

The RRP's are only there so that they can legally sell at the discount price , easy to inflate (make up) an RRP when you own the brand and have enough shops to stick the item in a dark corner at the higher price for the legal period before discounting, its all legal and above board .Really surprised the general public still fall for it .

I'm not to sure your correct on this either . ( I stand corrected , you learn something new everyday) Anyway some good deals there if you sift through them .

I'm sure if your careful you could cross the M25 on a busy day BUT why risk it . Go for extra layers or hot water bottle etc .

Really ??? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your correct on this

I've not fished many day tickets , the only one I have on several occasions is Blasford hill (many years ago) nice little lake and should be fishing well in this weather . Maybe worth ringing to make sure its not booked out for any matches though .
