Just a heads up for anyone that’s interested.. Some good deals on eBay for Black Friday at the minute. Just got £46 off a 14ft Acolyte Ultra. £183 posted! Voucher code is SAVENOW
Selling due to an upgrade. Tidy little camera, flip round screen ideal for self takes. Had it from new, bought it specifically for my fishing so hardly been used! Body only and 4x batteries. £150 posted.
Feel free to PM me with any questions.
Cheers lads. It’s been difficult with the amount of crap coming down, was using 14oz’s of lead last night! And even then would only hold for 15/20 minutes! On top of that we’ve had discharge coming down like I’ve never seen before and the other night I had a 13lber resting in the net whilst I...
Just a bit of an update for anyone thinking about having a go with milk protein baits. Not actually got round to knocking up a spicy milk yet and not sure I will bother now but been using JB’s frost and flood flavour on his super milk for the last 3 weeks and I’ve had 8 barbel. 6 of them being...
The carp scene is flooded with them right now. These subscription things normally start off good but once they’ve done pieces with all the decent anglers and start running out of ideas they just end up putting out shit for the sake of it to try keep subscribers. I just join for a month or 2 in...
Just had a look on Google images and I’m way off the mark! It has been over 15 years since I held one in my defence! An 8000 gte spool will hold 390m of 0.30 line and the ss holds 250m. A 6000 gte holds 270m.
Been a long time since I owned a Shimano and don’t have one to compare side by side, but I’d say the spool size is similar to my old 8000 gte’s, body’s more compact though.
I’ve got plenty of experience making bait, rolled all my own carp baits for years so no worries there. I’ve actually used John’s super milk for making corkball pop ups in the past so familiar with the base. Was more after anglers 1st hand experience with using spice flavours/additives on a milk...
Hi all,
Been a member for a while now but this is my first post! I plan to give milk protein baits ago. Would love to make my own base from scratch but the small amounts I’ll be buying it’s not cost effective so going to get a couple bags of Super Milk from John Baker to try. I will be getting...
