Hi all,
first post so be gentle....... after a few years appros 10 yrs i am return to my childhood pasion of COURSE fishing,..........oh yeah
thought i would get a bit oof advse from the old dogs in the forum
well my old pole a graphite shakespeare ......like a boom stick now has had better days.....
so on the cheap i got a whip....looks like a pole and have had a quick fish with it and seems fine....
am i right in assuming a whip is good for only small ish fish as it has an elastical end???
also went to the local fishing shop and got a normal box standard rod and reel with line on etc for good price and he advised me that would do me just fine
so i am in a bit of a muddle becuse i was gonna use the proper rod for the big bottom feeders and the whip for smaller fish ( hope you are stil with me?)
i had a look at my floats......seen better days........
weight, hooks and shot needed
can anyone point me in the direction of some good websites to purchase these from ebay???????
and type of floats shot and typical line breaking strain i should get ... i like using clear floats with coloured tip but have no idea on sizes for float etc
FINALLY.........seat boxes i have approx £60 allowing for a box
i saw the good old shakespeare box .....still going
BUT he has a younger brother THE BETA BOX ..............any good????
also saw the build your own daiwa box with octopus legs .....is this any good of total s**it?????
recommendations would help and which websites etc
so thats me done......
whats the best fishing mag to get these days for course and carp fishing as i wanna read up a bit
thanks everyone
