    Hemp

    Yeah I’ve only ever collected….there not too far from me, worth the travel if you’re not too far to stock up, they have a great range of bait products

    Vorter air guides

    I thought it was to go with their new baiting poles 😂

    Hemp

    I can vouch for this stuff being quality….or at least was last season!

    Crimping nylon booms

    I’ll have a go but got a feeling it will sit wrong on a hinged stiff rig (at least it will with my cack-handiness)

    Crimping nylon booms

    How do you twizzle nylon that thick Terry? That’s a new one on me, I do it with finer line when feeder fishing but can’t get my head around doing it with thick nylon

    Crimping nylon booms

    I do with wire….this is for nylon booms for carping

    Crimping nylon booms

    Does anyone have any experience of crimping thick nylon like amnesia etc for making stiff booms/rigs for carp fishing? Can’t seem to get my head around it being secure….but it does look very neat! Anyone have any experience? And what crimps/tool do you use?

    New reel.

    They’re nice reels, I have a 5000 size for my accys …other alternative is look at some daiwa’s in 4000 size, they make remarkably good reels for about £60

    New reel.

    These are really nice reels with decent spool size …get the 4000/5000 size if you can find one

    Daiwa Castizm BR 25a SOLD

    Sorry Dimitri…you were beaten to it my a few minutes

    Richard Isaacs spopper. Now sold

    Superb bits of kit the spoppers Rich makes, I’ve been using them on stillwaters too for tench/carp to mimic my pva bags or method feeders…..no idea if it’s an advantage but it’s different to what others are doing

    This is my local river the Colne at Harefield are there any rivers in the Country this damaged.

    FFS how on earth are they allowed to get away with it on so many rivers for so long?….oh yeah, nearly 14 yrs of Tory rule! Imagine the power anglers could wield if we all refused to pay water bills en masse until the mess was sorted.

    Daiwa Castizm BR 25a SOLD

    Yep….I have 2 castizms on carp rods and like them for that but for my river fishing much prefer the Thunnus 4000 for the Ouse and 6000 for bigger rivers, absolutely love the Thunnus they’ve coped with everything this last season

    Washing Your Net

    Indeed….I do tend to clean my dead bait bags like Richard and for that I use Trigene courtesy of work (remember Trigene Bill?)

    Lots of goodies (Pics to follow)

    I love my insight rods, especially the 12ft barbel HD I had off you Andy a few yrs back (remember that rod?) …..never found another to make a pair. P.s you won’t go wrong buying of Andy ….quality gear.

    Washing Your Net

    Don’t think I’ve ever washed my mat or net…..just tend to hang them in the garden or greenhouse to totally dry off. I know what you mean about the smell but I just take it as a reminder I do occasionally catch something 😂

    Daiwa Castizm BR 25a SOLD

    Two as new immaculate reels with spare spools. I bought 4 if these over the last two years, these 2 have just stayed on a couple of heavy floodwater rods and not been used….and doubt I will since getting my Thunnus £320 the pair posted

    Making your own bait.

    Need to ask yourself the reasoning behind wanting to make your own bait, and your own fishing situation. If your fishing mainly revolves around fishing many different venues not requiring (or not convenient) to prebait then unlikely your own bait recipe will make much difference to results. But...
