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
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?
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
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
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.
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
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.
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 😂
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
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...
