yes Cliff, that's what I think happens ie the fish push to blighters out of the way. Did I read correctly that when they go soft shell twice a year the carp eat them? ps the TSI has had some nice mid double carp lately. The handle was looking a bit sad, so I found my old brummer cork stopper...

Didn't know that but not surprised.

in or out of the tin Alan?

I thought I would beat them with plastic hook baits. They eat those too. So tried a short 6" hook link with a floating bait. They pull those down too.

I should say further, that particularly on the quiver, nuisance from crayfish is easy to detect. If still going on after 15/20 mins and then stops( as all bait devoured) I will re bait but often , a carp will take what's left it and I question whether it says to itself, , "what's that little...

Carp will I know.

Are any members planning to attend? Perhaps it would be an ideal opportunity for club member's to meet, support a good cause. Seems to start at/near Vauxhall tube station and easy to congregate somewhere near.

is anyone suggesting a meeting of BFW contingent who live within reach?. Its a serious subject of course and short notice to organize a beano but I am sure a sister Anna would be found. Meeting point to be suggested. Anyone interested?

Difficult to argue against you Neil. At the risk of being called names, I seriously question the adequacy of our water treatment plants to deal with the levels of current throughput compared to their design capacity. Hopefully there are those on this site with knowledge on the subject. In the...

Little wonder perhaps you became confused. I would too if I knew what you said, could spell it and understand the theory. I had enough trouble with relativity pre my divorce.

Why not?

As good a recommendation as anyone could possibly ask for. I fancy it but no nice rivers to fish and no money . The second I hope to remedy fairly shortly but the first means moving home so makes that out too.

That really is sods law.

It worked for Henry Ford.

Oh goodness. There, that's more polite than my usual ffs. My commiserations Tim. Are they not replaceable tips u can buy from MT as spares?

I am envious. But like you question interchangeably. I had a shim x7 Great rod with 3 full size top sections, not just quiver tips. Kept wondering how much money I was leaving at home. But again, flexibility is a costly luxury so just enjoy the rod. I will when I get one. Looking for an...

Never understood why people sell dirty rods. Can't be rocket science to clean. On ebay "nice condition' can be anything from disgustingly dirty to clean.

no I wont, shapes great, but yes there is filler. Doh.

Thanks to all who mentioned the x gum. It's not the actual thing which creates squeeze ready but I will experiment more. But as you say Stephen, added to paste mix, it is a revelation. I am trying it with various liquids/ dyes, even with floating, ie cork balls and am confident I am not...

The only handles of late Richard which I have seen which compares well to the diawa is, amazingly, the middy quatrix feeder, nicely tipped both ends with a bit of burl. I will put a pic up this morning. Not quite the arm lock but similar.
