muftyboy Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Dont do it Mike, piece of rubbish. In what way mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigewoodcock Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Dont do it Mike, piece of rubbish. I have the pro+ version and it beats a smart cast hands down. Mapped a 7 acre lake off a boat in 20minutes! Now have a depth map saved on my phone. muftyboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigewoodcock Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 The pro+ is wifi and works at 80yards. Not tried it any further yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh92 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I quite fancy a centre pin for my float fishing. I was thinking the same, never heard of the brand before but do you think it's worth £25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I quite fancy a centre pin for my float fishing. Marco Cortesi if it's still available from Dragon Carp, or TFG Classic centre pin around £54. I do love stick float fishing with a centre pin, so much control. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't overload it with line, 100metres is absolute tops For stick float fishing go with 4 or 5lb, and let the float do the work, your right thumb on your rod holding hand is there to slow it down as it trots down in the current. You can even retrieve right handed as well. The big debate is line from the top or bottom of the spool, you'll find what works best for you. jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info mate I'm going to get some stick floats, split shots and hooks ordered now. I've got a spool of dinsmores syndicate 6lb 0.20mm line that I haven't used yet, would that be okay? The river I'll be fishing has some decent chub in and I fancy trying to catch one of them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a lot of time last week changing hooklinks, it got curly very easily! jh92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used one when float fishing before, usually just fish straight through lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Ok mate thanks, what hooklink do you recommend? Never used one when float fishing before, usually just fish straight through lol I go old fashioned and use Maxima in around a pound, maybe two lighter than the mainline, or occasionally buy ready tied spade end hooks, hooks to nylon. I simply won't fish without an hook-length, it makes it easier to change hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 dont know if anyone would be interested but!!! http://www.sportsdirect.com/flash-sale-six be ok for someone on a budget looking at this link .... would any of you pay the full rrp for the goods they sell & list in this sale ? Me, no chance & looking at some of it I wouldn't pay the discounted price either. There's a lot of slating of the more popular brands on here for being a rip off but looking at the rrp's of some of these items you would be paying a lot of money for carboot tat .
