According to Korda you should get a green one The BASIX Distance Sticks have designed to allow you to ‘clip-up’ at the required distance aseasily and accurately as possible, ensuring that you can recast to the same spot repeatedlywith your fishing rods and spod. Keeping a record of your spots will also mean that you areable to fish them again on future sessions, should you find ones that are productive.BASIX Distance Sticks have a stainless-steel point to allow them to easily be pushed orscrewed into the ground, and includes a green cord of exactly 12ft in length so that they caneasily be set the same distance apart each time. A T-bar is supplied to ensure they go into almost any ground with ease. Edited July 24 by framey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framey Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 That just proves the point that a wrap is what ever distance you want it to be. I can’t be bothered with this any more lol elmoputney and yonny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Nick. As far as english carp fishing goes, a wrap is generally considered 12ft. Not metric measurements. Same as weigh our fish in pounds and ounces, not kilos. We dipped our toe into European measurements, but unfortunately it's the British way to do things the hard way. God save the pound! I mean Queen.

jh92 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) Interesting thread 🤣 I use sticks for most of my range fishing but have noticed they can be a little inaccurate. I was fishing at 120 yards, wrap up 30 times and clip up when the tip is next to the distance stick (might of worded that wrong 🤣) wind the line back onto the reel etc. Anyway I wasn't sure if I actually counted 30 wraps correctly, so I wrapped it back around the sticks again and noticed it was like 2 - 3ft off. I'm sure it was due to how tight/loose the line gets wrapped around the sticks. Has anyone else experienced this?

InteraX Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I always thought a wrap was a unit of weight. Personally, my PB is 14800 wraps. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week with a strong south westerly, I was landing around a couple of metres short of my marker, and for some reason I couldn't hit my aiming point to the right. I had to add another 'wrap', or 3.66m, 12ft to get in line, and that's just in 4 feet depth.
