So in conclusion from posting every single detail to not posting at all,I will have peed somebody off.And on the internet aswell,who'd of thunk it.

Has anyone else ever noticed teflon coated hooks never feel as sharp as uncoated hooks?I always take the coating of the point and they feel so much sharper.

Best hooks for staying sharp that I've used are the Atomic range.I've never used anything like them before,the abuse they can take over harsh ground and still remain sharp is untrue.Although not sticky sharp out of the packet they're not far off.What is noticeable when I sharpen them when...

Have never found critical sharpness essential for barbel as it is for carp.If the point turns over it gets replaced.As for hook files the black handled Jag file reigns supreme for me.

I think you have to accept that there is never going to be an angling show on TV that is going to be quite to the palette of the angling enthusiast.What I think it did do was show a good face of angling to a non fishing audience.Angling is not exactly the top of the bill when it comes to TV...

Wasn't too bad I thought.Better filmed than I thought it would be.

Well if that not a call to arms.Keep meaning to join but never get around to it.I will now though,thanks.

Another option and one I use is podcasts.Just download the shows on my phone I want to listen to,no interference and nothing extra to carry apart from earphones.Just a thought if you have a smart phone or mp3 player.

Sorry david,re read your post and seen that you already considered rejection as more likely.Post deleted.

1.5lb test curve will be fine for chubbing.But have to agree,I do like to go a bit lighter for chub,much more fun.I use super specialist 1.25lb test curve twin tip that comes with with a variety of push in quiver tips.Not sure if they still make these but well worth grabbing hold of if you find...

Sorry,misread.

Alot heading down the single bait route,times are a changing. In what way changing?

How so?

Thanks Mark,will sweep some up next time I'm on site:rolleyes::p

Thanks Adrian,really like the versatility of this method.

Blimey,so far on my shopping list I've got cloths pegs,hair rollers and big blue earings.How suspect am I going to look in the shopping queue.What sort of wire do you use to form coils? More just for hookbaits.A cage feeder construction would be perfect if it came in say a 10mm diameter.

Genius.Liking them apples :) That's the sort thing I'm looking for,thanks. Any other ideas also welcome.

Never knowingly suffered with this problem but only use the "method" in coloured water,so have no visual evidence.I would imagine rolling meat has more of a visual aspect to it and in a do or die situation anything will be initially picked up in the flow.Can't remember where I read or heard...

Sorry,should of added this for paste hookbaits.Paste bombs may hinder natural hookbait movement somewhat :)

Cheers guys,the reason it must be a cage is so that there is still some paste left on the inside after the crays have had a go.Hair rollers might be worth a shout though.Did also think about small springs,anyone tried this?any good suppliers out there? Brian,I found braided hooklinks cut...
