    Interest in baits

    I've watched these and can't remember him mentioning DMPT or Brocacel. Might need to watch them again.

    Korda camo bolt and run rigs,

    Have to agree with the comment about feeling plastic. I got the equivalent Drennan kit a few weeks ago and they felt poor compared to some of the carp gear currently available

    What is the ultimate setup for a long walk?

    I'm surprised more people don't use barrows. It only takes a couple of minutes to take everything off and chuck it over a fence or style. The ESP rucksack is excellent and much comfier than the TA one that was mentioned earlier. Combine these with a small quiver that holds multi piece or...

    Ebay, fees from 1st October

    I'd say they've changed their format to be more in line with Vinted I noticed a few months they were doing no fees on clothes sales which has got to be due to competition from Vinted

    Making your own bait.

    Yeah I've thought the mixing the base mix would be the hardest in high quantities I've heard people use a plasterers whisk on a drill into the green bait buckets you get from tackle shops. I've been buying a few bits to start rolling my own bait again soon

    Making your own bait.

    Wow these two set ups are impressive!!! How long does it take you to knock out 5 kgs on base mix? Any tips on speeding up the process? I've seen battery powered caulking guns and chip fryers that boil water mentioned on carp forums are good pieces of kit to have to speed things up

    Air dried boilies

    Putting them in plastic bags after drying them has caused this. You would have trapped moisture in the bag leading the mould bacteria to grow. If its green don't use it. Some boilies start turning and go white and sticky at this point they are very attractive to carp so maybe barbel too...

    What are your top ten angling books?

    Nearly all my top 10 would be carp books I think For non carp Tony Miles and Terry Lampard have written some very good books. Multi species books with a chapter on each fish don't seem to read as well for me. Here's another question though.... Who would you like to see a book from: Jason...

    Making your own bait.

    Solar S&O was one of the best flavours going. It had a high PH so was very different to most other flavours. I think a key ingredient is now unavailable so although many companies still sell a S&O flavour they won't be exactly the same as the OG Solar one. One of my favourite pop up mixes for...
