Steve O Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hi All, Not fished for 12yrs. Rods are dusted down, New Line put on reels everything good to go. Has much changed in respect of Rigs. Have retested what i used to make and hook spins and hooks every time on test. I see Nick is still Chief Mod - Met Nick at very 1st Social - Bury St Edmunds.

InteraX Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hi Steve. The only big thing I can think of is the Ronnie/spinner rig, but there were probably variants of it around back then. I would definitely say shelf life boilies are miles better than they were. Apart from that, it's all been incremental gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted April 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yeah was being used at the time, Not much talked about then...... Have made a few rigs and all hooking up instantly on test so shall just go with what i've made then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Welcome Back. Suffolk Water Park, nice venue still, just a bit expensive for me to mount a long term campaign. What worked then will work now. I'm probably using similar rigs to what I was using 12years ago, and occasionally still catching. Enjoy your fishing, and have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Paws Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 The banks will be busier. A lot busier! A lot of fisheries are subjected to near non stop pressure, especially in the summer months and the fish will be a lot more switched on and harder to catch. More exclusive fishing is available but expect long term waiting lists and wallet busting fees when your name does come to the top. On the flip side, there are more bigger fish then ever and even small ponds will hold fish that 12 years ago you'd have given your left ******** to catch! Just go on your own terms enjoy the times you get out and put things in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
