elmoputney Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 I've decided to try some different line this year, KATRAN wild carp camo has just been ordered in 20.5lb I've been looking at low stretch lines for a bit and when I read 10-12% stretch I was interested,I would use braid but it's banned 😢 this sounds pretty decent and looks good, i have a spool of gt80+ if it sucks but it ticks all the boxes in theory. They do some other pretty out there lines too thag glow up and stuff. https://katran.eu/wild_carp_camo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's been too hot for dogs mine has been getting walked early or late or in the woods where its cooler, funnily enough the other swim I fancied was cool and had a breeze. I'm now realising the full extent of the Mozzie damage I need a tcp bath or something 😂, need a new Mozzie culling device I think. crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in Turkey other week, nearly 30 Mozzi bites and a few turned painful (needed medication) last night 4 horse fly bites.

I did use jungle formula this weekend but they still savaged my legs, tried the Avon before and that didn't seem to work that well for me either, but I know it does for lots of people. I went shopping for a new paddling pool this afternoon and ended up in go outdoors, bought a fox exocet marker float kit, I decided I needed a marker float again for baiting up with the boat as it will be easier and quicker to chuck it out to my spots raise it and have a visual marker to aim at. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avon changed the makeup of Skin So Soft, so if it does work for you, look for the original. If Skin So Soft isn't the right stuff for you, and some places I know it isn't, then Lifesystems 50 or 25 is good, just be careful with it. There is an alternative, Pyrethrin treated clothing. Might be worth a look, although I'm sure British MTP combats are already treated. Other clothing can be sprayed. My choice, with the repellant is one of these: https://ultimateangling.com/en/fishing-sleeping-bags/ultimate-night-fleece-cover ..., framey and crusian 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framey Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 You need the original dry oil there is so many different skin so soft products but that is the correct one. https://avon.uk.com/products/skin-so-soft-original-dry-oil-spray i think as long as you make sure you slap what ever product you use on all uncovered parts of the skin it should be ok and be effective any bits not covered the little buzzards will find it salokcinnodrog and crusian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
