That’s the real reason behind me not using it under 55 lb. At 25lb braid is like cheese wire and it can damage fish, not often perhaps but why take a chance? However, I know it’s hard to believe when you listen to some of the rhetoric spouted by the self-opinionated great and good, but its...

That’s not a reason Wayne it’s a mantra. You cannot put more weight on the hook than your rod will let you, but you can pull your gear out of weed, a tree, and land a Weybridge Ladies Rowing Club eight if you ever start fishing the Thames. Your magical surprise will exceed all expectations if...

Lumby will make you one. Other rod builders are available.

Did anyone else see a Jock shipyard welder in a tutu pirouetting across the vision of their minds eye when they read that?

Why

If the flavour is oil based bin it mate. Oils go rancid in fairly short order. Wot Dave said about the Odyssey though.

Yeh Wane 55lb powerpro.

Ade the guest alle sounds good to me; I will join you. We is swapping the food for me chucking Mrs Gruff round the dance floor! Rock n Roll is here to stay It will never die.

Sad news

No lead no inertia simples I think a lot of thought was put into this, mostly how can I make a bob or two.

OK then initial penitration LMAO

Ye gods Have a think! It’s called a bolt rig cos when a fish feels the ***** of the hook it gets its arse in gear and moves off rapid thus hooking itself against the inertia of the weight. How much difference in hooking potential does the 10mm rotation of the lead around its centre of gravity...

No way Ade; the clamping bolt falls out of the locking mechanism so you cannot wack it on the head with any accuracy. I recommend fishing with your mate. You know the one that advises us on extreme weather survival techniques.

Hell's teeth Damian Thats two things we agree on

Alex I have been listening to it for about 50 years now. Always an excuse Very little action from the AAC Apathetic Angling Club. Of the hundreds of moans about "I saw a poacher and no one has done anything about it" posts on here, how many actually phoned the EA and asked for the all important...

You’re all the same you moan and groan and do nothing. Anyone other than Stevo, Crooky and perhaps one or two others ever had the commitment to organise themselves into a club bailiffing scheme or is it someone else’s job? I posted a link a while back about the prosecutions on the Mersey...

Anything Rob? Surely it needs some wicking properties, especially if you’re carrying a powershift net pole

Ade gave me a Westy (lone angler) handle; I use it all the time. Another mate gave me an old pike gaff head; they make a superb boat hook. Together they wind the pike police up a treat. It may only be a pound; but a pound here and a pound there and your soon imprisoned by you gear in one swim. I...

Drennan Just clean it once in a while and it works and works and works mine is so reliable its allmost as boring as a what landing net pole thread.

Dave Read Ade's post again mate, he says use a safe rig and it will unload on the bottom! A bit of tile held by two lacky bands will pull off with very little effort. I’ll bet there are 50 posts or more on facebook about him using killer rigs already.
