    Muck boots

    Enjoyed many cold days fishing Mike and to be honest there is nothing worse than cold feet when sat static. Quite often it's the only reason I'll pack up and go home. Heated socks could be a game changer, and the female in the promo video kinda sells them to me 🥰 😂 😂😂

    Muck boots

    Just to report back Robert, wore my snowline 8.5's today paired with the heat holders ultimate thermal socks. Now it wasn't the coldest of days, air temp between 5 and 8, but my feet were toast all day. As a whole, with my M&S merino wool themals, snowlines, socks and aldi special bib n brace...

    Muck boots

    The socks I have bought to go with the Snowlines are the 'Heat Holders Ultimate Thermal Sock' but I haven't worn them together yet (and i'm sure they won't live up to the name 😅). I'm also going to be getting some above the knee socks to go under them - nothing thick, fancy or thermal, but I...

    Bit of an overlap as there are more mono tests...

    There is one mate, Google "tackle box breaking strain test" and it should be easy to find from there 👍

    Few discrepancies in stated & actual braid diameters & breaking strain according to Tackle Box tests 😧

    DAIWA CAST’IZM 25 QDA REEL

    Fantastic reels and indeed a bargain. I have a set of 3 hanging from my Torrix carp rods. Best reels ever!

    Muck boots

    On the Grub boots... I've just retired my FROSTLINE boots for the winter, having sat out Friday when air temp was 3 degrees most of the day and my toes were chilly, even with my thick socks on. Saturday evening I wore my SNOWLINE boots for the first time, air temp was about 6 degrees and I...

    River Trent Rods

    I've fished the Trent with both 2lb and 2.5lb rods, 2lb rods were fine even with 3 or 4 feet extra water in, fishing into the flow, no big chucks required though. I can't see that my 2.5lb rods wouldn't be able to cope with anything I might need them to. Perhaps 2.25lb for all round would be a...

    Braid

    All i've used since starting to fish for barbel 2 years ago. PowerPro in moss green, normal work 9kg (20lb) b/strain 0.15mm diameter, floodwater gear 13kg (29lb) b/strain 0.19mm diameter. No issues for me :)

    Muck boots

    Yep, good price for those. I think I bought mine at the same price (from the same place) a couple of months back, not had need to wear them yet. Currently wearing the Frostline version, absolutely fine until the temps get right down and then I have felt the chill in them so hopefully the...

    hair length/position

    I like the bait fairly tight to the bend, unless the chub and bream are being pesky then I prefer it longer. Extended length boilie stops obviously make this easy as I've found when wanting to paste wrap a boilie and you don't have to change rigs for one with a longer hair. Also use silicone on...

    Spopper wanted

    I think the general idea with spods/spoppers etc is that flight is supposed to be more of an arc'd curve rather than a level flying missile. Doesn't always go to plan though 😂 I've only used my spopper a couple of times and actually used my drop shot rod with 20lb braid on to launch that, but...

    But 30 quid reasonable?? Bugger that 😅

    Spopper wanted

    Both yours and Eddies are excellent. Far far better than the muppets trying to sell them ebay for £30 each! (hope it's no one on here 😂😂😂)
