Tickets is easy 'ish, it is the cost of the season ticket, with maybe a few day tickets thrown in. Bait is more difficult, whatever I use or need over a year, might be hemp, Vitalin, birdfoods, or boilies. Not I daren't add it up, simply it changes each month depending on fishing time and venue. Deadbaits is a case of I might go through loads if I'm catching plenty. jh92 and B B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have the NGT version but my one IS excellent 👍🏻 I've still got an old jrc cocoon bedchair which I keep because it has outlasted 3 others, it's a bit battered but it's good enough for a spare /kids bed and it's light because I've used cable ties on it and even with the mouse holes it's still quite good 😂 The kid said to mummy just after I ordered this that she wasn't sure about the 48 hour session anymore, sometimes you just can't blooming win😭 will be good for a French basecamp though and I can always take them another time that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Paws Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 A large magnifying glass for £1.50 at a local cheapy shop. I use the jag loupe on the bank but when preparing traces and touching up hooks at home before they go in my rig wallet, it will make it a bit easier. kevtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be helpful if you played a lot of computer games with a joystick ; I have found that small movements on the joystick give better results .
