    Korum Speci Heli Kits - Can they be reused?

    Yep…big grippa stops, diamond eye quick change swivels and twizzle top part of your hooklink - basically tangle proof

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    Nice informative vid Ian, can see this growing into something special. When season starts get some videos of your tackle in action, feeding techniques and how to read the float as mentioned in this one….seeing it all in action would be very nice 👍

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    If any help @Huanzhou Zhu this is what I use, each tub sits on an ice pack and one between the two then lid on and store away from heat/sunlight It is a very large box though, the buckets have 6 pint capacity, they were half full In

    Dead maggots for trotting?

    I had a situation couple of yrs back when I bought a gallon of mags for a trip to the Trent but plans changed and couldn’t go, I gave a few pints away and kept half but no fridge to keep them in. I kept them in tubs inside a large thick walled polystyrene box with a few ice packs. Once a day I...

    10ft spomb rod sleeve wanted

    After one of these, everywhere is out of stock…so if anyone had one they wish to sell please Alternatively, anyone have any recommendations for an alternative - I want a sleeve with large pockets (like spomb jacket) so I can keep spopper/mini weed rake and depth finder all together

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    speaking as a centrepin novice the topics I would seek out on various platforms would be: benefits of line coming off the top vs bottom/how to load with line/do I need backing/how much line to put on/playing a fish on the pin/different types of pins pros and cons I would imaging there would be...

    Closed season project.

    Good stuff. Once you’ve established a colony of freshwater shrimp (a gravel pit with weed growth will be abundant) the fish will have a constant source of food and very importantly good environmental enrichment for them to keep them busy grubbing about. A weed rake, bucket and a good clean...

    Closed season project.

    Just out of interest Rich what will you be feeding them? I’ve kept Tench and Perch before and can be finicky feeders, but both did well on a diet of chopped worm and caster! The perch also love the occasional live worm…really triggers their hunting instinct

    Closed season project.

    Looks great, it’ll eat into your time with the maintenance but it’s a labour of love. Watching your fish grow is very satisfying

    River Severn day ticket

    Bridgnorth used to have a day ticket section on the golf course, not fished that stretch for years though so can’t confirm if it still is

    Catch Cult 46 Update - New 3 Magazine Subscription

    Wouldn’t take it personally Martin, I typically tend to see the CC updates on other various platforms (insta/fb) before seeing them on here…so maybe others are the same and the post on here is already known info once posted??? Anyway it’s still a great read and I’ve been a fan since issue 1...

    Centerpin reel angling channel on youtube?

    I think if you covered all angles, Stillwater/trotting/stret pegging etc as well as casting tuition, centrepin care, different pins pros/cons - it could potentially be a very unique channel. Go for it I say and see where it goes. Agree with the no music but not sure about the no editing….I have...

    Spoppers

    @Richard Isaacs makes top quality ones….the shop on this site sometimes stocks them (maybe ask @Andy Frances when next in) look on eBay too, converted fox spombs but very expensive. Take my advice though and don’t but the Korum ones - they don’t last Paul Fisk on Facebook I believe also does...

    Spoppers

    Yeah with a spopper as their baiting tool….sorry mate but completely disagree with you on this one. Spopper is far superior to a spomb on a lake imo….simply because it delivers small areas of bait very quickly and accurately which can mimic your bait and pva bag presentation very well; and a...
