Some doughnut left a 4 pinter milk in the bin at work the other week during that heatwave. We don't really generate that much rubbish, but just when I thought it had started to smell, moving it appeared to be the worst possible thing I could have done. Gagging was a natural reflex to being...

I have no doubt in my mind that a critically balanced bait will outwit cagey feeders and that tends to be with a wafter. The only problem is and it is a problem, is that being light, the flow imparts a movement on the bait that spooks some barbel in clear water.

North Western Kevlite?

I have to agree with that anecdote. The H. Avon valley was under water from Oct to March that season and the '00/'01 season was a real contrast to those previous. Simply, if agricultural run off is a problem during any year, wetter years will exacerbate the problem. I used to think that it was a...

Flavour it with hemp oil. 👍

Not wishing to play semantics here, but I think that's the point - it's not the real one. I think rather sadly we've come to accept the way that things are however. Anyway, the sun is out here in Carlisle and that is a rare occasion that has to illicit nothing but joy. Can't have the state of...

It seems a little bonkers does it not to posit that the fish require anything, having existed as a species eating whatever natural food they could find. I wonder sometimes whether in making things easier for river anglers, we have unwittingly spelt the end of our quarry for having them rely so...

I wonder how the general public would react to the news that most carp fisheries introduce inordinate amounts of bait just to increase the size of the fish to attract more income. I see many Youtube videos recommending asking the bailiffs what the 'house' pellet is, and in some venues you'll be...

Coming to a river near you!

Don't be afraid of trying freezer bait boilies too Dave. Just a little tip - just monitor the bags for air ingress. I've never had issue but once you spot that there is still time to repack if necessary. Good luck. They are that integral to my keeping bait fresh, I have two vacuum packing...

Fished with them all, but keep coming back to Trigga Ice.

I have to say that I don't have too many rods, perhaps 15 in total. I do have an affinity and attachment with some of them that have given me some great sport over the years. Too have them in my hand the memories come back and I quite enjoy the reminscing. I used to have a fridge freezer purely...

But freezing dehydrates doesn't it? I might be wrong, but I think you need to leave liquid in there because of where you like storing your hemp. Don't store it in the freezer, drain all the liquid and I believe you'll have a bait that is equally as fresh with much more convenience. I may be...

It's not a silly question at all Roger. I was going to mention about but didn't want to complicate anything. It would be wise to bear in mind that if there is a lot of liquid making it's way up the bag towards the sealing element, the seal may be compromised. The Amazon machine I linked earlier...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07JC9M9VB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These were my last buys, Derek. I used to buy the bag on a bottomless roll that enabled you to make the bag of your choice, but have since found that bags of 20x30cm allow you several sessions of reuse...

I have the amazon Basics one Roger and it's ideal...

I have mentioned on here previously on some threads of the benefits of using a vacuum packing machine, but these passed few months have introduced to me a new level of convenience. All told, last season, I possibly only fished two weeks. That presented some problems. Last year around September...

What is seemingly special about the Basia over other offerings?

Rod arrived this morning Daniel. A wonderfully clean, as described, thing of beauty it is.

Do you know unless you are casting some weight some distance, a Torrix does seem the perfect rod for rolling meat.
