    Wanted Daiwa powermesh or infinity

    Okuma INC 6000 are cheap as chips brand new and well worth the money.

    Heads up

    Three Shimmy 6000 OC's for sale on the pikers pit for £220 posted. I recall seeing a "wanted" for some but not sure where!

    Daiwa Rod delight.

    I have a pair of the 11' 9" 1.25lb and they're brilliant rods. Had double figure carp off the top with them and barbel to 9lb.

    Alarmed!

    Same, alarms are not a necessity but sticks are, my rod rests are alarms that either get used or not.

    Shimano Baitrunner 6000: XTR-RA, XT-RA, XTEA or GTE-C?

    One of These with a quick drag conversion. Supposedly an improvement on the SS. Or the original shimmy Aero GTE's, GTE-B's, I have both in various sizes and they've been faultless for years. No experience with other Shimmy's!

    I just cut from hole to hole with scissors. Dead cows on black caps for more weight.

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    Which? 24 or 48?

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    This advice comes from anglers travelling to Ireland 30 or 40 years ago when you struggled to find maggots when you were over there. They sacked gallons up for days for the duration of the travel and got them out in portions that suited their stay.

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    If you suck the air out of the bags they come in, they go comatose and can be cold stored for a good while. They look dead when you open them but they come round after a while. Also make sure they're in good condition and not stinking before you do this.
