    Anyone had any scary/paranormal experiences on the bank?

    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👹

    Bank Tackle discount

    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...

    oohh at last its hit the fan !!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    I also think they're a thick gauge wire, gone back to the few I have left of pallatrax "the hook" and grippaz.

    Cheesepaste Too Stiff

    Saint Agur is too good for fish, if you put my SA in the river you'd be following it😄😉

    Not a genre I've ever read Chris. I'm more of a Ken Follett, Lee Child, Clive Cussler kind of guy. The most "out there" book I've ever read was "A clockwork orange" and a bloody hard read it was!

    Cheesepaste Too Stiff

    I add a splash of this. I make mine up pretty much like this, it seems to stay soft enough.

    Light Lure Fishing For Perch - Mainline

    Daiwa j braid x8 is relatively cheap. I have the 20lb on a spinning rod I use on the boat at sea and the 4x in 5.5lb on a drop shot set up that has yet to see the light of day. The 20lb is really nice to use, can't comment on the 4x-5.5lb in use but first impressions were good compared to other...

    I have a pair that I use for beach/coast fishing. I find them not too bad, I know I'm in the minority though.

    Flask

    A litre of water weighs 1 kilo, add a flask and you could be almost doubling that. A small stove plus a litre of water and gas is neglibibly more. Enjoy a fresh brew 😉

    Daiwa emblem br25a

    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...

    OCD and fishing.

    I have a bit of it going on but nothing OTT.

    I thought it was illegal to specifically target them in the UK, not that it bothers me👍

    Swingtips

    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.

    Melting Lead

    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.

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    Not sure if any of their products will be suitable or similar to ESP but bank tackle do various hooklink materials in 20m spools for the same price.
