    C4 - Dirty Business

    I'm not sure anyone is disputing the increase in population but would that not mean more customers, more revenue? As others have clearly pointed out and just a quick Google search would indicate the billions spent on dividends, the level of debt and the fact that they have been fined on more...

    Selling tackle

    If you have items that are easily posted then I don't think you can do go wrong with eBay. Is also now free. I've sold plenty of stuff over the years without any issues. The rods and anything that's tricky to post the marketplace might not be bad, but you'll have a load of time wsters!

    Smart cast

    Deeper all day for me. As others have mentioned it's simple enough to use & the ability to identify weed is a massive plus. I fish the (featureless) Thames & it's been truly eye opening for me this season mapping what I thought were known swims. I paid £70 off fleabay - they're often on...

    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    Thanks all - lots of great advice! I've just made a donation for the server costs - it's exactly this type of help that the members willingly share that makes it all worthwhile! Once the weather returns to normal I might even get a chance to try some of the options out!

    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    That sounds interesting. I've crimped rigs before for carp. I was thinking 0.5mm crimp to a fluoro of around 0.45. Will any decent fluro do of that diameter or do you need to buy one of those with the 'carp tax' applied?

    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    Thanks Jon. I always use a PVA mesh bag that I thread onto the line with a baiting needle to eliminate tangles. It would be easier to use loop to loop I wondering if there was much difference on knot strength compared to the albrighton knot?

    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    I'm going to use combi rigs this season and I've tied a few up using the albrighton knot with fluorocarbon and soft braid. I did see a drennan YouTube video where the angler was connecting the two materials loop to loop using a figure of eight knot. This is obviously far simpler, quicker and...

    Bit of a 'back to basics' kinda question....

    Hi Julian. I got a bargain off eBay as I wasn't sure how much I'd use it. I ended up with the Pro + - WiFi connection, can save maps, decent range - worked for me.
