AVID Revolve Bivvy Table ordered, looks decent for under £30, wanted one with adjustable legs but not wanting to pay silly money and this is metal not plastic so should last.

 

I like the look of this avid revolving table, Kev you really are the poshest angler I know.

You still buying leads from the tackle shops at like £2-3+ each?

I am mate, I only needed a couple, plus I’ve known this particular tackle shop owner for 25+yrs and he’s been very good with sorting out kit at decent prices, I only paid £1 a lead. I like to give him my custom as much as I can

Fair play good man 👍

The thought of paying the 2-3 quid each that I used to pay for Korda leads - jeez! 🤪

Yes mate, roll all my own bottom baits and cork ball pop ups, I was gutted when I saw his post on the website saying that he was retiring! Got my own boilie mix down pat, I’m so confident using it, I can take it anywhere and not have to worry if the bait will work, one less thing to worry about! 
 

premier superaminos base, premier cream palatant, haiths robin red (gotta be haiths original!) egg albumin, premier shellfish sense appeals, hutchie regular sense appeals (new one not a patch on the original) and CC Moore belachan flavour. Been doing the business for me, I used to use the richworth boiled ham flavouring or hutchie mixed herbs, but I’ve long ran out and can’t find any anywhere! So went for the sense appeals and they’ve proved just as effective. 
 

god knows what I’ll do when premier pack up and retire for good, what basemix will come close to this proper classic?

New purchases, Korda extra small clips, ESP claw hammer hooks size 6 barbless, fox cortex soft coated braid. 35lb Korda boom, Korda crimps (krimps??) another Korda crimp pliers (my first set disappeared into my sea fishing kit)

If Tony proper Jack's it all in then the only person that will know the superaminos mix would be Geoff bowers ( Abs baits).   My mates now get him to roll their bait  as they don't roll their own and our bait was on the superaminos base mix. They catch well on it .
