    PVA Bags

    I buy large bags off eBay (210x70) half fill leaving a decent tail then squeeze the bag to get the air out then twist the tail and wrap it round the swivel on the lead then lick it and stick it to the bag,you can also trap the hooklink under the tail making it tangle resistant,sounds a bit...

    what paste! boilie or pellet/groundbait mix

    Try using a mixture of Sonubaits krill paste and fibre paste but use liquid krill instead of water or Sticky Baits krill paste.If you try the former give it plentye of time to absorb the liquid and "set".Can be a bit messy but with experimence and patience a good paste can be achieved

    Damp

    Try Asda or Morrisons THIN bleach or Milton sterilising fluid but try the bleach on an inconspicuous place first to see if it takes the colour,I've used the bleach in the past to remove mildew from pushchairs etc that have been put away when damp,just make sure it's the THIN bleach and not the...

    Tip Lights

    playing fish without clutch

    I've used Shimano 5000's (gte's and xtea's) for the last few years and never had a problem with the clutches,set em right and use finger pressure on the spool skirt to control the runs/lunges,as you would on the rim of a pin,plus when the time comes to net em you've got your left hand free to...

    Wide gape or narrow gape

    David's post does make sense but hook sizes and patterns today are a very different kettle of fish to the "standard" sizing from a few years ago,just a ploy to sell more hooks,but in saying that I do use Korda wide gape X hooks just for the extra strength it gives.
