    Large comfy chair

    Let’s face it that Solar chair isn’t really designed for river banks , it’s a session chair designed to be used sat outside your bivvy on a long session . The one I bought (above) does both and I’ve used it for both , it’s honestly one of the best items of tackle I’ve bought in the last few years .

    Trigga Ice

    What annoys me about Nutrabaits is the fact they still maintain that all the recipes are the same from the original recipes of Bill Cottams / Dave Moore etc But a lot of the ingredients are not available anymore , so how can they be the same ?

    Fishernator

    I’ve had all the Shimano 4000 baitrunners and the only pair I kept were the 4000 OCs , the Thunnus are a bit over kill for what we want , the D version is nice but a bit bling and more expensive than the OCs . The 4000 OC will do everything you want at a cheaper price . Plus easier to get hold...

    Large comfy chair

    Really impressed with my Solar South Westerly Pro Combi chair , packs flat not too heavy , good for river banks and lake swims and isn’t too pricey .

    Lines

    I recently spooled up with ESP Synchro in 15lb and can’t say I’ve noticed a difference , still a great dependable line in my experience

    Wanted advice on River tripods and bite alarms with receiver

    I’ve always used banksticks on the Trent , hate tripods and don’t even own one , haven’t come across any situation where I’ve needed one Korum screw in banksticks don’t move , don’t forget the plastic T bar you get with them , makes a solid set up in no time .

    Interesting bait vid

    I was referring to the guy at Asylum baits who said in his last video (posted on here ) that Brocacel doesn’t work with fish meals, I suspect JB was referring to that comment . Yes JB was probably hinting at better yeast products out there . Plenty of ready made base mix’s have brocacel and...

    Where did I say anything is wrong with a factory build ? JC you’re like a pack of wolves ! You’ve just quoted what I said and read something else !

    Personally I don’t like the blingy stickers and they usually have too many rings , not sure why you’d buy a used custom build that didn’t suit your requirements ?

    Daiwa QD Reels

    Must admit these QDs got the better of my curiosity after reading this thread many times 😣 always used baitrunners , I panic when it comes to a 3 foot twitch and always cup the spool anyway , then turn the handle to disengage the baitrunner , so I’m pretty sure I’ll get the hang of a QD . And I...

    That looks like a factory build , which may not suit your requirements? A custom built Harrison blank built to your specifications is as good as it gets , but also it comes at a price .
