New purchases

[dalej2014]

Went to buy a secondhand reel yesterday. Came back with two reels, two rods, two sleeves, two pots of hookbait pellets and three pellet wagglers. D'oh! 🎣🤣

Such a shame, you will have to get fishing more to christen it all.

Always plans going forward.

 

The main problem as I mentioned in News and Announcements is Google only picking up on threads started less than 5 years ago. So the database of threads going back to 2005 became almost worthless, which as so many threads had accumulated was rather sad.

So far I have deleted 60,000 threads, goodness knows what that is in posts!

 

No it's not a Fox only shop, it should be everything.

The address is the same as danson angling 

not that it’s a bad thing but why not just link direct to that site ???

I've seen all sorts about how much rock salt to put in some people think you can't overdo it some people have done tank tests and don't think it has any attractive qualities at all, personally i would just put a bit in, I am going to add lots of garlic powder to my particles to give them my signature twang, it will also stop the carp being eaten by vampires 🤣

I've entered quite a few Comps lately, also done reviews of products I've got.

Will try this out on Father's Day weekend session.

Five kilo of the frankie mix from Scientific Baits with all the trimmings they use, there can be a three week wait for rolled bait as it is made to order.

Also bought a copy of their bait making book ĺooks good for 12 quid you can't say no some bait books are out of stock fast and sell out of my price used.

What’s the connection between somebody spending £49 in a pub and 0.04p per rod per day fishing ? 
For my license fee I would like to see a bailiff come up to me and ask to see my license …it’s only happened once in over 50 years of angling 🤔 …do they still patrol the banks ?
