Interesting I've often wondered if/when carp fishing will take on board multi piece rods like big game fishing. Are you using those rods straight off the shelf or have you had them re-ringed for carp fishing?

Agreed

Just out of interest Tommy what travel rods do you use?

If your buying frozen bait from a tackle shop its also likely its preserved aswell. Bait is boiled, air dried to reduce moisture as much as possible, frozen, dispatched, probably defrosted during transit and then frozen again at the tackle shop. It could be 4-5 days after boiling that it...

Thanks for the replies I'm planning of evening fishing this winter so will be arriving in the dark so good to know I might not be reducing my chances when setting up using a torch

For all you anglers fishing evening sessions in winter when you are turning up in the dark.... How much do you think light from night torches penetrate the water and spook fish? If the river is up and coloured I can see it having minimal impact. Not sure when its low and clear esp if you are...

Cheers Paul

Always quick breakdown pellets for me to release the flavour as quickly as possible High oil pellets in winter aren't for me
