Pallatrax Gripz for me,used for 2 seasons on tidal Trent.Not 1 lost fish & dont blunt or point turn easily,fish unhooked in seconds,100% sound hook imo
Let me go way back in time to the 70s for this [carp related] story,in the days of Heron bite alarms [didnt use them] open bail arms,line clips ,silver paper indicater on the line. Runs galore for 2 seasons with every fish hooked on the new high protein bait we used, as my good friend got hold...
I have the Solar brolly system,got it on a black Friday deal with removeable front & groundsheet half price last year,have used it all this year,wouldnt be without it👍

With the downstrem rod you need to hold bottom or you will end up amoungst them, im...
I wish you the very very best of luck/skill with your venture Edward.I wanted to join the same club a number of years ago,not being local i chose to try mainly Chertsey/Walton way with my limited knowledge ,as the weir could be fished from the camp site bank. i managed to tempt shoals of bream...
Although im not a reel expert by any means,i find the 6000 Shimmy used on the mentioned rod hauling in big leads/feeders works
