Grrrrrrrrr( How Much Is It Going To Cost?)

[pineaplepopup]

i went to the riddings yesterday and had 3 blinding runs and lost evry one! i changed my line the day before to krystonite and it just broke of half way between the lead and my tip for no reason it never rubbed on any thing either! so i payed £ 17 for the line £15 in rigs £12 to fish , now ive got to go bk to my old line trusted ESP which is another £15, BUT THE MOST HEART BREAKING BIT IS THAT A BLOKE CAUGHT A 31 LB 2 OZ MIRROR WITH MY RIG IN ITS GOB!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD OF BEEN A NEW PB FOR ME AND THE PICS WOULD OF LOOKED GOOD CUZ THIS FISH WAS AEWSOME. IM CONCIDERING SUICIDE BUT I CARNT AFFORD THE FUNERL NOW IVE GOT TO GO OUT AND BY ALL THAT LOT GAIN.

A fish that has just been hooked went straght out and fed again? with a rig attached to its mouth weighing 30+ :eek:

 

I want to fish where you do mate! :D

[pineaplepopup]

it only had the hook to the swivvel it ejected the rest of the rig, the fish also had two other rigs in its mouth!!!!!!!!!!! the mouth on the fish was massive i could of got my fist in its mouth with out touching the sides of its gob!

If it didn`t rub on anything then it must have been a dodgy batch,a "Friday afternoon special".......understand where you`re coming from m8,as a month or so I had a screamer,was playing it for about 10 minutes of so,just got it under control,me m8 had the net ready,then ..........ping,wound in and it turned out that the hooklink had snapped about 3 inches away from the swivel! :confused: brand new freshly tied rig had let me down for no apparent reason,was gutted as it was the only run I had that sesh.

[pineaplepopup]

it snapped though as soon as i got the rod vertical though and it snapped smack bang in the middle between my rod tip and the lead.

[mick1396]

So it could possibly have rubbed on something and got cut,I`m interested because me and most of my m8s use the same line,and have never had anything like that happen,is the lake a pit or what? wondering if there`s any junk left in there from when it was working if it`s a pit,or flint can be razor sharp.

no mate this lake is tiny like less than an acre (acording to the board on the fishsery) this lake is perfectly smooth bottmed and i dragged the marker over it anough times, what knot do u use with the line cuz i been using the polarmor knot and im not happy with it? what strain have u got it in?

[mvodkaman]

been using krystonite all season and not had a problem myself have had a bad batch of korda hooklink that snapped between hook and swivel.

 

30lb carp with 3 rigs in its mouth all snapped off ???? in a one acre lake with no snags??? and was landed just after snapping your line ?????

 

how did it get the piece of mainline off the swivel ?????

 

not being critical but are you sure you tied the rig on correctly,we have all lost fish and reeled to find curly piece of line, and no rig, in the early stages of our carp fishing.it soon gets you proficient at tying knots......

I use the Palomar,and have done for years and never had a problem with it,alto when I tie it I make sure all the loops are well neat before I start to pull it tight and if it`s the slightest bit crinkly I redo it,and have used the line in 10 and 12 lb,the 10 actual breaking strain is 13.62 lb and the 12 is just a smidge under 14.

hi m8

heres a possible reason for your line parting..large swan mussles.i fished a 2.5 acre pond back home in east yorks and one season it didnt mater what i did in one corner of the pond i lost fish. sometimes the line parted without me even picking up the rod then other times i would be playing a fish then gone. the only way i found out was when i pulled in a mussle which had closed on my hook link.its posible this is your reason?????????????/

[pineaplepopup]

i actually wa thinkin of that but the lake gets drained 2 a year and ive seen the bottom theres nuthin there, so i think i just wont be buying kryston again and go bk to my good old trusted esp.although it is like rope but other than that i carnt fault it.

yer cuz i saw the line break in the middle as soon as i lifted the rod. and the line was still on the swivvel just not the tubing and the lead clip plus

lead.

[lappie]

i think it could be a problem with your tip ring because if that is rough it will rub on the line making it weaker

[pineaplepopup]

but i saw the line snap in the middle from my tip to the lead it never sanpped by the tip ring plus ive had the rods for years ans never had any other problems ive jsut respooled mt reels with esp.

[mick1396]

It might be worth checking the tip ring to be on the safe side especially if you`ve had the rods a while,as if they`ve got ceramic in them that may have cracked.

[pineaplepopup]

just checked em there fine. but i saw the line snap in between the tipe and the lead so the tip wasnt in contact withe the part that broke.

Even though you have seen the bottom of this lake and it seems ok, it is impossible to find a lake that is snag free. My bet is it caught on a sharp object, like mussel that has been mentioned or similar. Dont lose confidence in your tackle too quickly.

[mick1396]

I think Dave might have a point about the mussels.
