I've got Shimano X Aero 6000s on mine, not everyone's cup of tea, but I like them. I just can't get on with front drags.

LOL. ;) Do you come down the M6 - A50 - Willington - Repton - Milton, Richard ?? Whenever I've been to Milton, I've always come from the Foremark - Ticknall way. Very narrow roads that need maximum concentration late at night. Cuttlebrook for me is M1 - A50 J3 and I'm there. I just carry on...

Yes, I'll probably end up there. Fished it a few times, mainly near the second gate swims. No Barbel, but some Chub. It is nice to have the wind at your back there rather than in your face at Cuttlebrook. Milton is awkward to get to from home, as is Walton and Catton. I just wanted somewhere...

My ticket runs out in late June, I was going to re join until the new renewal date of January, then give it best. Now Cuttlebrook has gone, I'm not sure. I'm thinking I may go back to the Dove for the six months. Cuttlebrook was so handy for a early night session with it being 25 minutes away...

Thanks for all the replies and advice everyone. Much appreciated. Time to move on.

Yeah, I think so Kev. It'll mean more travelling, but it's got to be done.

Yes, Rich you have. What you are doing is "telling" me what I've "got" to do, rather than "why don't you try this" there's a subtle difference. If I'd have gone along with what people had said from the start, I'd have bought a bag of John Bakers base mix and a flavour, mixed them together and be...

If I’d of wanted oval boilies I wouldn’t have bought a round rolling table. I’ve got plenty of nozzles so I’ll get the boilies exactly how I want them. That’s just the way it is.

True, and I’ll use them no problem. But my OCD means I’ll have to alter the nozzle to get the boilies round.

Nice idea. I'll try that, thanks.

Need to alter the nozzel, as mine rolled slightly oval.

Slight change of tact today. My mate wants pop ups and wafters. We did the pop ups last week. Today is the wafters. I made another batch of my boilies. I now have about 600g of them which could be enough for the sessions on the upper Trent I do. He seemed happy with them.

Looks the biz. 👍 Both my mate and me are pretty much the same, we like things to be right. We've even bought digital calipers so we get the nozzels the correct size. Although the 14mm is .01mm out, so may have to do it again. 👀👀 We’ve also had a 600x600 stainless sheet made to roll out our...

Last season on the upper now that BMAA have altered the paying in date. I wouldn't have bothered this season if they hadn't. Middle and tidal it'll be now.

LOL. Told you. Although in my defence my Carp fishing mate has gone in with it as well, so not all my own doing,...........Honest.

Have a look here, Roger. https://www.fishingspares.co.uk/1501-quiver-tips https://billyclarke.co.uk/2013-quiver-tips Might actually be the same site.

My spliced tip rods, I've got four of them. Perfect for a 4 x 4 Ultra Lignum stick float. 2.1lb Bayer to a 0.08 hooklength. Running it down the upper Trent is perfect for the size of the silvers in there. If the odd Chub does decide to open it's mouth and have a nibble, just enough power to...

The match team back in the day. BR left to right, ?? Martin Foulkes, John Cockayne FR Pepa Luxa, Geoff Salisbury, Steve Jackson.

After reading all the posts on this topic, I'd be interested to actually know what rod my friend has. It could be an early Carbotec. The handle looks the same as a Normark, it has a screw down reel fitting. Not sure about the tip ring, as I haven't had a hold of it. The action of it with a upper...
