kevtaylor Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Ordered a power barrow conversion kit for my Mk2 wide boy, might keel over long before it arrives (10-12 weeks), pushing through sodden ground getting stuck, unloading/re-loading - going again is about killing me off, although each week seems a little easier. elmoputney and yonny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonny Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Managed to get hold of a set of original Daiwa GS3000 Whisker's. Convinced myself I'd sell the SS3000's to fund the purchase but obviously that's just not going to happen😅 kevtaylor, jh92, Pete Springate's Guns and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know anything about the reels but sounds important, to be filed under angling archive items/spares, coz you never know and can justify it to anyone who asks 😁 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted April 10 Author Report Share Posted April 10 For all the members that have difficulty owning up to tackle purchases to their better half’s here’s a trick I came across …but be warned tho if you get greedy and abuse the said trick you could end up permanently damaged … Higham1987, kevtaylor, dalej2014 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtaylor Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 (edited) Just received my Drop in bag for the Mk2 Wide Boy Barrow and it doesn't fit (or I cannot see how it would) despite my barrow being in the description of suitable barrows. Totally baffled tbh, are there 2 different Mk2 Wide Boys? Mines got a bar right in the middle of where the bag would sit. When I got the barrow it had a bag but you clipped it on from underneath, this seemed much quicker and I like the barrow to fold flat in transit so leaving the bag on doesn't allow that, so I took it off. Thank fully they sent the wrong colour so it's going back regardless, miffed though coz I wanted one, might have to be the 2 bags either side of the wheel. Anyone got any knowledge on this drop in bag issue? Edited April 10 by kevtaylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use plenty of Sakuma 503's in 3/0 for them, 50lb Grey Weasel as I also use it for rigs with the rays, although I go clear Amnesia for bass, oh yes, and I got some more Lead link imps and Gemini oval clips.

I had a bike ride after work today over to a place I like to sea fish this summer needed to see it at low water. Seen the price of grip leads in the tackle shop today they’re gone up in price since the 80’s 🤔 …I borrow a mould from a mate and knock out some. Well done on the catch of Rays. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Oh and not forgetting 25kilos of boilies, in freezer and shelf life, RH The Nutty Bait, and a tub of 15mm matching pop-ups, it has a lovely smell, soft crumbly texture that should breakdown fairly quickly. 37 minutes ago, B B said: I had a bike ride after work today over to a place I like to sea fish this summer needed to see it at low water.

I've got a freezer full of mackeral and herring which are being added to squid on the hooks for whatever seems and likes it. That's cheaper to use up some pike deadbaits than be buying lug and ragworm as I can't dig anymore. ouchthathurt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
