New purchases

Threw £20 at a little temu haul, pair of croc type shoes for any night time dashes (more to the tiolet than the rods these days 😆), water bucket to replace my leaky old one, bait spoons, tackle pouch and some bait pots for my pop ups, plus some tiny pots ideal for soaking zig foam in, all in all pretty happy

Cool bags are rubbish, you need a cool box - Check IGLOO but there are others.

Check out temu, I just picked up this bad boy for £22.96 I've been waiting for the right deal on this for ages and they knocked off £11 for me. And it's got lid ice packs.

Sorry to hear it hasn’t arrived yet

If the box had a carpy name it would cost a £10 er more in the shop 🙄 talking of costing more, 

Nx to the carp gear is the sea gear in my local and I was comparing prices of size 8 swivels and packets of beads and as you guessed the sea prices was half of the price of the carp gear and you got more,  that carp tax is shameful  😡

Put the word bass after it and it’s almost as expensive as the word carp lol

in the 00’s the word barbel was more expensive lol

Bit of bait for the summer. Gave £100 for this lot! 20kg of boilies (12/15mm) plus liquids and hookbaits (popups, wafters, hard hookers). Chuffed.

I've only heard good things about this coolbox, albeit from youtube anglers.  Be interesting to hear what you think instead some paid angler saying how good it is.

other than the usual stream of end tackle bits and bobs, i plan yet another pair of rods these will be 10ft 3lb torn between sonik Herox or wychwood riot and going to get a budget cheap bait boat, cant order just yet as i will be away for a while and no one to take parcels in

I had a chat to a couple of sea anglers on my last trip they said they were happy with it saying it was solid having dropped it twice down rocks.  The thing with using it for sea fishing you’re opening it up 3=4 times a hour baiting up but they said the bait still stays chilled The one guy said his mate just filled it up with cans of larger and he was always happy with it till the last can went 😁

The last trip I had a gull take a packet of squid and Iv had rats taking bait so it’ll help with the thieving  

Not sure it will be Jack Russell proof as my old Trakker found out
