Right I've had it with this Kev's corner business - back off, I have a dog and not afraid to set him loose! 

So you better have some snacks or be pestered to death! 🤬

I've trained him to do it behind your bivvy, then we'll get you banned and stick rods in your vacant plot!  Edgy! 👍

I will invent a poopult to deliver it back 😂

Either that or the lake owner wouldn't see it because I would have already trodden in it.

I've been buying some bits for the upcoming year. 

12 cans of ngt bargain gas 

28lb katran wild carp camo line 

And I have had to remodel the spinner rig as some key parts have become less easily sourced. 

So I've been on JPrecision and ordered some gape x hooks and some different kickers and bait screws and bits to play with. I have used kranks before and seem to remember them giving decent hook holds. I looked at alternative rigs even made a nice soft hinge rig , but it all seems too much faff 😱

The NGT canisters if you are talking about the 500's are actually some of the best gas canisters out there. The ones to avoid if possible are Coleman!

I like the go gas ones but they do seem to empty quickly.

Strange I always get a case of Coleman propane gas - never had a problem, what's gone on with yours?

It doesn't empty properly, even when put upside down when nearly empty. Always have to heat a bit of water up in a pan, then put the gas canister in the warm water in pan to get a decent burn, otherwise the flame is too low.
