I did some agency work at wordsley crystal back in the day. One of our jobs was to move the glasses stacked up 8 or more high with 30 plus each layer. I watched one lad smash a whole stack one day lol. Was just glad it wasn’t me
Got the thermos king. Always fill it with a pot of coffee with coffee mate so I don’t cool it down at all with milk. Also I fill it with boiling water while I’m waiting for the coffee to finish. Will stay hot 24 hours as long as you have so much left in it. If you save a cup for the morning it...
Nothing lol.
I brought them more out of curiosity than anything. I’m going to give them a go as Iv brought them but if they’re anything like as sensitive on the rod as they are in my hand they will be coming straight off.
When I was looking at some reviews of them some people were saying they were too sensitive and others were saying they were fine. I wonder if it’s luck of the draw what you get and Iv ended up with the sensitive ones lol
Ended up ordering some. Impressions of them without actually using them in a fishing situation are they are extremely bright. Also I’m a bit worried they are too sensitive. Maybe when fishing and cast out with a bit of tension on the line they might be ok but I recon any wind will set them off...
Had a look at a review on YouTube and the guy said in wind they were flashing. I quite like the look of these and like that they lie flat but they look so bright that they’d annoy me. Are they only green and flash red or can you get red ones?
Had a similar problem few years back. Decided to target a deep peg on the middle Severn that no one really fished for a month. First day had a couple but missed a couple of slamming bites that nearly had my rod away. Second day similar but missed more bites. Decided to shorten the hooklink to...
Iv only ever caught 3 6’s and 2 of those came 5 days apart. Never had anything over 5lb other than them 3. I don’t tend to catch that many chub though to be fair
I still post in the river captures but changed my fishing over the last 5 years from fishing easy stretches to not so easy but bigger fish to pretty dam hard for the last 2 years. I used to fish last few hours on an evening 3 times + a week but now tend to do 1 or 2 sessions a week but longer...
Me and a mate considered starting a bait company 15+ years ago. We brought a load of rolling tablets and different ingredients to make baits to test out but without an air powered gun it was a mission to roll any kind of amount and we were too poor to get a setup capable of making big quantities...
Had my korum bag since 2020 and Had no problem with it. I’d say it’s way betther than the last bag. Only downside I would say is straps are a little tight depending on your size but could get around that if needed
My mate had the record in one of the lakes years ago. He was vexed it wasn’t a carp but took a photo anyway. The bailiff informed him in the morning and asked for the picture for the website. He told me about it and how annoyed he was at the time and said to have a look at the website at the...
I use an old 3 led energiser that even with new batteries isn’t particularly bright. But I only use the red light until I come to play a fish and even then I turn it on briefly to help me get to the edge of the bank without falling in and occasionally to see where the line is going if I think...
