    Very happy with my 4000 OCs on a pair of 11ft Torrixs all though I know Okumas have a big following on here Probably can’t go wrong with either I suspect

    korum super lite river brolly

    I have the Korum graphite and it’s great for swims were it’s fits in without taking all the real estate up, ( I fitted storm caps with the help of the this forum ) but recently I was having trouble getting the thing erected then not being able to move around in the swim or simply fishing in...

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    Various knots ? I tie one allbright knot , which I can do in my sleep , it’s a foolproof system that’s never let me down I could do the loop thing but I just think this looks neater and I have one less knot

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    Like I said , I use a short piece of braid 4-6” , tie on hook with knotless knot , tie braid to mainline with an all bright knot and that’s it ! bank tackle hooks are cheap enough to replace as and when , your only using a short piece of braid that gets binned hook length is infinitely...

    Quick change hook rig - Korda Hook Klips

    I think the kicker evolved from Jim Gibbinsons line aligner rig , basically a piece of shrink tube on the shank with the hook link coming out above the eye and through the front of the tube , the hook turns quicker this way , I’ve used it in just about every form of fishing I’ve done in the last...

    Milk proteins

    I don’t use any rolling tables , one egg mix which is around 4 sausages, rolled fresh the day before I go fishing, no need for a freezer and I’m sure they work better fresh, then in the shed to dry overnight Just cut up into bits then roll , I don’t want them all the same size either , most get...

    Bail arms

    Lol Carp anglers pike anglers etc No baitrunners then It was a way of giving line to a running fish without resistance, the belief was if the fish felt resistance it dropped the bait I know it’s old school and most anglers don’t get we’re I’m coming from but it’s how we used to fish back...

    Bail arms

    Just think it’s another excuse to take away choice from the consumer , I have a Penn Battle II from my salmon fishing days and that as no anti reverse , apparently it’s to stop you bruising your knuckles on a hard fighting game fish if your a backwinder ?! Not that I do and always use the...

    Bail arms

    It’s even bigger news to me that folk actually manually trip the bail arm , I’m assuming Shimano Mitchell Intrepid Abu Garcia Penn etc went to great lengths to design a system were the bail arm tripped over automatically on winding in . it’s probably filtered down from carp anglers who were...

    Bail arms

    I can see the need casting a 5oz lead over 100 yards , but let’s face it most of us on here trip the bail arm when tightening down after cast , it’s been done that way forever . Why have a bail arm at all ? Just hook the line behind a line roller and wind in , take it out to cast out , ( very...
