Another Prologic user here, personally think the size help to make it very stable, not sure I'd want anything smaller. Do wish they'd made the bag a bit bigger though so you could leave the long legs attached!

Thanks for the suggestions all, I'm sure one of them will fit the bill

Hi, can anyone recommend a catapult that will get 50mm balls of groundbait out to 30yds Thanks

Find my Solar Recliner very comfy, friend has the Trakker which is also very nice and has a higher back

Hoping to have a crack at landing a Trent barbel on the float this weekend. Picked up a Korum Glide 14ft rod and got a spare 4000 size reel but not sure what line to load it with, any suggestions on what would be up to the job but still be suitable for trotting a stick float.?

Sorry, can't help but if you do find it cheaper please do share the knowledge :)

Baffin Trappers for me, those and a decent pair of socks and feet are toasty

Lower Trent

ex MOD Altberg Defenders for me. Not the lightest but well made, full leather, waterproof boots. Cheap as well, £50 for Grade1 off of ebay, mine were like new!

I'm on the waiting list as well, about 300 places in front of you, so still 2 years to wait I'm guessing! Other than that I have 4 memberships to cover most types of fishing

0.7 miles to the Trent for me! I have however joined a couple more clubs and getting into other styles of fishing so will likely get a bit further afield this year. Anything up to an hour seems reasonable to me.

I've bought a couple of the Aventa 6000 reels to try this season. Obviously they haven't been on the bank yet but first impressions out of the box are that they are very smooth and appear well made. I would say they are a slightly more heavy duty reel than the Pulzar but the Pulzar is...

Definitely the Prologic sky pod, it's a rock solid bit of kit. It doesn't take that long to setup and the legs are adjustable in both length and angle. It even comes with an extra set of short legs so you can use it horizontal ie. carp style

Thanks guys, looks like I'll get away with a bit less then.

Never been inclined to fish it either and I live in the next village! Worry now is that A1 pits will now become the go to 'party' place and spoil the NDPF stretch which is on the opposite bank :(
