    loop to loop.

    This is why I use an adjusta stop instead of a swivel , your hook link is whatever length you want it be and is easily adjustable, plus your not wasting expensive hook link material , with just a short length of braid , I usually use an allbright knot instead of loop to to loop but they both...

    loop to loop.

    I was using loop to loop method these past few weeks as I had a few hook links tied with a loop ( figure of 8) , I fish the mainline straight through with a short piece of braid (around 4-5 inch ) at the end , feeder/ lead is stopped by a enterprise adjusta stop .

    Info on shimano bait runners

    Yeah I have been looking at them , wondering how the service was . A Thunnus went on eBay for around £230 the other week , so Fishernator are much cheaper

    Tadcaster Day Ticket

    You can get day tickets from Ian Ashton the bailiff, look for him on FB and PayPal the money across. Not sure about day tickets on the bank but the tackle shop is the best bet . Heard it’s not fishing well at the moment !

    Not a good start (snapped rod)

    When I broke the tip section on my Torrix , I just broke the tip section up into more pieces and sent it back to Mark Tunley , he rebuilt it using the old rings. This was under warranty though . Agree with the home insurance thing , by the time you’ve paid excess and increased premiums you’d...

    Making your own bait.

    I’m not confident enough to do the floating method , I know a one minute boil gets me what I want , plus I’m struggling to even see the baits in boiling cauldron I’ve created 🤣

    Making your own bait.

    Yeah it is but you have to steam them longer so extending cooking time. I boil for a minute and still get a soft paste inside that’s hardly been cooked , I’ve not tried steaming so can’t compare but John Baker still boils his baits , so that’s good enough for me .

    Making your own bait.

    No it’s a coffee maker 🤣 I leave in the shed overnight to harden off , then freeze , when I go fishing I’ll just get 50/60 baits out for the evening session . Later on in the season I’ll make fresh bait up day before a trip .

    Making your own bait.

    I actually did this on the first batch , but I was worried about the attention of smaller fish on the un skinned part , but as always with making your own bait I can suck it and see and see how things go . Plus I can always cut the end of the ones I pre cut before boiling

    Making your own bait.

    Yeah I looked into steaming but the longer cook times seem to negate the more aggressive boiling method . Reading around in the home rolling community the jury is still out it seems on which is best . I boiled these for a minute which still leaves a nice soft paste on the inside , something I...

    Making your own bait.

    Decided not to bother rolling small baits anymore , not sure of any advantages on a river . So I simply extrude through a bait gun with a 16 mm nozzle and cut into blocks or pillows as some home rollers call them . Advantages are it’s lots quicker , bait comes out more open course in texture...

    Making your own bait.

    I got told just using egg whites makes a harder bait , not tried it though .
