Same as. I've been spooked out of my skin on a few occasions, especially on a pitch dark night, do ghosts prefer dark nights?? but I go back, the rational me knows it was a badger, deer, rabbit, demon!
None of which can hurt me👹
I had a size 8 barb deep in my finger last season, I gripped the forceps on it and got my daughters bf to pull it out (after I looked away). It wouldn't budge, turned out he was trying to be gentle so not to hurt me, I explained the stuck on band aid situation, another more positive attempt saw...
It's akin but maybe worse if true, to a John Wilson programme back in the late 80's-early 90's where (allegedly) he had a local club stretch closed for a while whilst it was pre-baited for days/weeks?? and he turned up to record a video/program and emptied it of chub. I reckon it must go on all...

Enjoy a fresh brew 😉
I recently got two of these in the 5000 size for my roach rods. They might seem on the big size but after comparing the 2500, 3000, 4000 and 5000., I settled on the 5000 for the spool size for (rightly or wrongly) increased casting distance on some of the bigger waters I plan to fish. Also I can...
They work better in shallower water, I used to use one on a lake near Nuneaton. Bite indication is good.
My powermesh avons have the threaded eye but I don't think I'll be using them.
I gave it up as a bad job a few years ago, heard a few horror stories.
DRY DRY DRY
If I still did it I'd enclose everything in a brick/block frame with a heavy lid.
