Yeah. Opening night I unscrewed it to push the battery in and for some reason it just stayed green no matter how much I was swinging it about in my hand. Took it back out and in again and it started flashing. Mine are sensitive as hell. To the point where I noticed moths were setting it off...
Decent size snake that as well. I fished with one in my peg last season but thankfully it stayed in stingers. I’d of had to moved if it came out. If it was in my gear I’d probably abandon it lol
When I first got into barbel fishing I had a 3kg bucket of pellets that I’d brought from a carp show about 5 years before and only ever used a hand full. I used them as hook baits on the river and used pva mesh bags of mixed size fresh pellets and caught hundreds of fish on them. They lasted a...
I had the fox stalker scales and they lasted 2 years before they went completely out of sync weight wise. Found out you need to get them calibrated every couple of years. My mate had these scales and never had a problem. They always seemed to pretty much match other scales. Fox wanted £35 plus...
Surely if it was road run off all rivers would be suffering same fate. Seems like they can’t be arsed to investigate or they know who’s responsible and don’t want to get their mates in trouble
Had about 25 8 hour session blanks on the bounce the start of last season with only about 3 little knocks in that time. Makes the first fish all that more special
Air dry boillies for 3 days and they will go hard as marbles. I guess once cast out eventually they will soften up but I guess most of us don’t fish sessions long enough for that to happen
I don’t mind ordering rods from tackle shops to be delivered cause if it turns up broke you’ll get your money back or a replacement but I wouldn’t spend big money secondhand without collecting myself as one of you is losing out if it arrives damaged
I did some agency work at wordsley crystal back in the day. One of our jobs was to move the glasses stacked up 8 or more high with 30 plus each layer. I watched one lad smash a whole stack one day lol. Was just glad it wasn’t me
Got the thermos king. Always fill it with a pot of coffee with coffee mate so I don’t cool it down at all with milk. Also I fill it with boiling water while I’m waiting for the coffee to finish. Will stay hot 24 hours as long as you have so much left in it. If you save a cup for the morning it...
Nothing lol.
I brought them more out of curiosity than anything. I’m going to give them a go as Iv brought them but if they’re anything like as sensitive on the rod as they are in my hand they will be coming straight off.
When I was looking at some reviews of them some people were saying they were too sensitive and others were saying they were fine. I wonder if it’s luck of the draw what you get and Iv ended up with the sensitive ones lol
