New purchases

[Carpbell3]

Not a purchase as such but I have been looking at a new rod or two something in 12 foot 3lb test, the 10 footers are fine but if I drop on larger waters got a few in mind, I might need at least one 12 foot rod set up.

Was looking at the Fox Horizon X4 to be honest i like my Torques so much Fox is the only high end rod I'd buy off the shelf, I'd get the 12 foot Torque rod but they don't do them anymore.

GENIUS!

I solved any winter heating issues so long as you have a suitable power bank, check this little 60 watt beast meant for greenhouses so is waterproof against damp and splashes.

Sorry that's a 45 watt beast even better plus it's green and carpy looking!

100% agree - I’ve got 4 of them, and absolutely love them.

Not yet that's where Nash or Korda  come into it, I doubt you could to be fair, you would need something like a Jacory power bank that has a three pin plug socket.

Winter ticket for a local club water, as my eldest son wants to catch a barbel.

Magic wand (I'll take any edge for the res)

Lock hook size 4

Pva tape 

Came with a nice thankyou postcard, from Ali.

Here is my latest purchase i scored this haul of 9 in number vintage strikeright centrepin reels all in original box`s some have paperwork in box 7 of them look as new the other 2 are in nice used condition, i cant say what i payed for this job lot but it was a very keen price indeed but i wont be keeping them as i do see a rather nice profit from them that will help offset some of the money i have spent this last few months

Bite lights for my spod /marker float , I think this will be brilliant for night spombing and sneaky baiting

and some pva bag swivels

Had to get a decent pair of boots, got them in the go outer door shop. My mate has had a pair for awhile he’s done 300 miles over 4 months in all weathers and trails and recommended them,  very light with no breaking in and comfortable. 
Black Friday £99…gone up to £125

Got a set of Merino wool base layers top and bottoms can’t speak highly enough of them, mountain warehouse had them in a sale both for £60 You can get them cheaper but go for a high percentage of Merino which cost more.

Recent purchases include 3x fox warrior 12ft 2.75tc rods, 3x shimano 1000 bait runners, 3x stow basix bobbins, 1x fox mini micron alarm, 3x unbranded but grips, 1 rod bag and 3 rod sleeves. It’s time my boy upgraded his lil £30 9ft rods, so this will be his Xmas present

It's surprising how big they actually are 🤣 

If its a 20 litre, any idea how much I can be putting in it roughly?

Got pretty much all the equipment now, hopefully get the shed sorted out over the next few days and create some sort of line/system 🤣

Without over working it 

15 lb or so so plenty 

make sure all the locking switches are closed

Isn't a litre about the same as a kilo volume wise?

It is 

but mixing egg whites is easier to do than mixing boilie mix.

Not fishing related but a bivvy dehumidifier would be good, just bought one for the house, run it on the landing and it does the whole house nice makes the air nice and clean you can set them to any humidity levels you like.

[jules007]

Got a 30cm stainless buzz bar so i can splay the rod tips out, wont put any more fish on the bank, but i like the presentation, also got an NGT 5litre bait bucket
