I’ve tried all three methods and still haven’t come to any conclusion, in fact I was fishing last night and read Richard’s post so tried a double 16mm boilie which almost instantly produced a nice chub ! 🤣 I’d had a small barbel on a single boille an hour earlier.
But for a 2-4 hour session I’d...
I had the plastic spreader block break on my TB 36” net , informed TB and they sent a new alloy block out , I paid the difference in £ but I’d still recommend it
I thought it was Tiger ?! But it applies to fishing just as much as golf 😎
Oh and talking of Trefor I know where one of his rods is for sale if the OP is interested ? As he’s fishing the Nidd it will be local to him
I have the 11ft Torrix 2.0 that I use on the Y Derwent , very similar to the Nidd , it’s perfect , stopped doubles in there tracks caught a rod length out
This is why I use an adjusta stop instead of a swivel , your hook link is whatever length you want it be and is easily adjustable, plus your not wasting expensive hook link material , with just a short length of braid , I usually use an allbright knot instead of loop to to loop but they both...
I was using loop to loop method these past few weeks as I had a few hook links tied with a loop ( figure of 8) , I fish the mainline straight through with a short piece of braid (around 4-5 inch ) at the end , feeder/ lead is stopped by a enterprise adjusta stop .
Yeah I have been looking at them , wondering how the service was . A Thunnus went on eBay for around £230 the other week , so Fishernator are much cheaper
You can get day tickets from Ian Ashton the bailiff, look for him on FB and PayPal the money across. Not sure about day tickets on the bank but the tackle shop is the best bet . Heard it’s not fishing well at the moment !
When I broke the tip section on my Torrix , I just broke the tip section up into more pieces and sent it back to Mark Tunley , he rebuilt it using the old rings. This was under warranty though .
Agree with the home insurance thing , by the time you’ve paid excess and increased premiums you’d...
I’m not confident enough to do the floating method , I know a one minute boil gets me what I want , plus I’m struggling to even see the baits in boiling cauldron I’ve created 🤣
Yeah it is but you have to steam them longer so extending cooking time.
I boil for a minute and still get a soft paste inside that’s hardly been cooked , I’ve not tried steaming so can’t compare but John Baker still boils his baits , so that’s good enough for me .
No it’s a coffee maker 🤣
I leave in the shed overnight to harden off , then freeze , when I go fishing I’ll just get 50/60 baits out for the evening session .
Later on in the season I’ll make fresh bait up day before a trip .
