    Ebay madness

    That'll be due to no stock... watch the price drop dramatically when the seller has some. Saves jumping through the hoops of a new listing or paying new listing fees.

    Cheap shelter on Dragon Carp

    I bought one and it's cracking for the money. Light, well made, compact. Mightily impressed. Would I spend the original 50-60 asking on it? Nope..but then I'm tight. One of my favourite rods of all time, a Giant Martin Bowler Signature Barbel rod cost me 25 quid delivered many moons ago...

    Fish care Antiseptic kits

    Koi keeping community strongly recommend friars balsam for treating injuries. Has worked on my fish and cheap as chips from the chemist. Also clove oil in water for anaesthetic. Great stuff, but easy to overdose by a couple of drops and cause unexpected euthanasia. Maybe a homemade bath...

    Ground bait

    Vitalin works pretty well through a blender too to reduce the size. I usually stick in a big bucket and attack with a hand blender for a great method mix consistency...also good for deeper flowing water.

    Ground bait

    Layers mash from a feed store as a base plus whatever you fancy. I usually use cod liver oil / salmon oil plus ground or mashed pellet. Also throw in the oil/brine from tinned tuna. Does the job brilliantly and costs virtually nothing.

    Useless Velcro? Mines been going strong for at least 10 years and I've never had a problem with the supplied Velcro straps. Cracking quiver mind. Thought about getting a new one in case they're ever discontinued.
