When did 50mm become fashionable. ? When they found out they can add another £50 to the price for very little cost to themselves... sorry... I'm on of lifes cynics...😜😎 Carpbell_ll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyvonio Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I'm thinking of adding a baitboat to my equipment, and I´ve found this baitliner boat.

Highy Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Mine is only a standard use boat... Does what I need it to do, when n where the situation requires... A mate has the Actor and quite a few people I know who fish also would recommend this boat too....I would personally have 1, but I'll use what I've got to start off with then maybe in time upgrade to the Actor.

Golden Paws Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 https://boatmanuk.com/product/black-mk4i-boatman-actor-10ah-bait-boat-with-external-switch-and-lights/ I bought this recently after watching my mate use one for 2 years and they certainly sell enough of them. That hopper on the back of the Bait Liner looks pretty hopeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 two and a half kilo of snail bait and a tub of pop ups, going out again to fish a few chods around the bait, reckon that will be it then till after spawning, i will have my own bait by then so thought i'd give them a whirl, that's the good thing about a club ticket, no fees everytime you go so you don't mind trying differant things. 30 notes a night and i ain't going without a good bait selection.

That's the one I fancied If I ever wanted to spend out a little more on a boat, What's it like with small pellets and particles does it get stuck and not open? , and can you get plenty of bait in it ? I know it's stated 3kg but mines 1.5kg and it never looks that much 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because the pin that releases the bottom door is underneath. I've used small pellet and not had any problems but I did find a tiger nut inside the propeller housing. I haven't really used the rear compartment except to test it but it is pretty sloped and I reckon most baits would slide off pretty easily. elmoputney and Highy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love mine, better than a standard brolly and wrap. The TFG brolly with stormsides and wrap was OK, but always a bit tight for space, and if you didn't put the wrap on and it started raining... ruined a camera and phone when the wind and rain came charging down the reservoir and got under the brolly. Even a 50inch brolly and Jekh shelter was tight compared to the Cabrio Hybrid system. Only thing I do struggle with is the spoke protector skull cap thingy. I quite frequently leave it hanging... I’m going to post an account of my session last weekend in which I’ll relay my thoughts on a few things . Cabrio brollys and rod pods/sticks to name just 2….

dalej2014 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Just renewed my rod licence for the year - £45 for the three rod option. Now I've paid that and my club fees (£225 for GAPS, £170 for CAPS) it's all gravy. I still have best part of 10kg of base mix and additives to boil up (think I used about 2-3 kilo all told last year! Big believer in a little bait in the right place)), along with particles and liquids for attraction. All set for another year. A short session after work tomorrow is on the cards I think.

newmarket Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Not so much a purchase more an acquisition, my father-in-law donated a couple of packs of the Korda ‘safe zone’ anti-tangle sleeves when he came over yesterday. Its ok though . By the time I’ve mixed em up amongst my Gardner & ESP ones nobody will know the difference. 🤣 dalej2014 and salokcinnodrog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
