    Cheap shelter on Dragon Carp

    Believe Roger Surgay sold the brand to Angling Direct a similar period of time ago way back when elips were still flat ;)

    Cheap shelter on Dragon Carp

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread.... but I just stumbled across this whilst trying to remember what the name of my now 9 year old, cheap as chips day shelter is. It's had a rough repair after a falling branch poked through it in a named storm a few seasons ago but other than that it's been...

    and for anyone that has regular line breakages, start by reviewing choice of knot before you blame the line. I use Berkley Big Game in 10 or 12lb have absolute confidence in it. Have tried other monos but just go back again.

    Review time. Chair

    Bought an NGT seat, stitching ripped around the seat where the frame attaches after about 3 uses. Needed repairing/restitching. Normally rate their stuff but not the chair unless you're 8 stone.

    Red Rapeseed ??

    Not a lot. Both seeds from the same brassica family but varieties marketed as 'red' tends to be a little big bigger (still tiny). I think it's a slightly higher oil yield product used to make 'canola oil' in Canada/states but may be wrong. Some of the black rapeseed can be positively...

    Maggot feeder tangling issues.

    Don't use the swivel on a black cap. Thread your mainline through the cap, body and out of the bottom of the feeder, thread on a bead and tie a swivel. Use it inline, no tangles ever.

    Korum 8ft 2lb opportunist

    Yep. Had a double on first outing with it. Obviously the shorter length takes some finesse out of casting ability (lobbing is the order of the day), and looks a bit strange with the 'missing' 4ft, but can't fault the playing action. Also have the heavier 10ft, probably the better option.

    Bit further down..... Had a couple, biggest exactly 10lb, which I think is a first for me (refused to settle on 9.15 or 10.1)

    Allcocks Aerial C815

    Never seen a 3d print pattern for c815 (have looked). Thought about modelling one but found backing with strips of self adhesive craft cork works fine. I just cuts 7/8" wide strips. Put the first two back to back sellotape around the line lays and then continue to build up with single 7/8"...
