Well looks like no one’s got one then. Can anybody suggest a bivvy around the £100 mark or should I bye a double skin tent, must be 2 man though. Any suggestion guys. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I did notice that, I wonder if they have made a mistake on the price because as you say it's £30 more for the free sleeping bag Still it looks a good price for the bivvy without the free sleeping bag, but I would rather ask someone who's got one first to see what there like.

http://www.climaxtackle.com/wychwood/extremis_dome.htm Im looking to purchase my first bivvy and have come across this one by Wychwood. It seems good value for money but are they any good. Any of you guys had any experience with this bivvy and if so what do you think of them.

Nice fish mate

Great photos, shame about the unhooking mat though

Stick that dog you got in the shed that should stop em

Thanks for the advice, I think your right in what you say about some of these tackle dealers. I will in future ask on here first before I get led down the wrong road again. Regards Mark.

Cheers mate

Thanks for the reply guys. The thing is Budgie, I told the guy what I wanted it for. You would think that he would sell me a braid that sinks knowing I wanted to make hair rigs for carp fishing. One thing that puzzles me though, is what is this braid used for as it can't be for main line as there's not enough on the spool ?

Whats the best online shop for buying terminal tackle. Regards Mark.

After getting fed up with paying £1.50 for my ready tied hair rigs I decided to tie my own. I had a go with nylon and all looked ok, so off I went to my local fishing shop to get some braid. I was recommended some silkworm made by kryston £8.95 for 20m so home I came and started to tie some up ready. After cutting a few pieces off I noticed on the packaging that it said weightless in water. So I made one up and popped it in a bowl of water to see how it looked. Oh dear, the hook sank and so did the swivel at the other end but the braid in the middle comes up and floats. Will this spook the fish or should I put some shots on to keep it down or is this braid no good for hair rigs. Regards Mark.

cheers seph, just what I needed to know

I’m trying to prepare some hemp for the first time myself. I’ve left it to soak for 24 hours. Now I understand that I bring it to the boil and simmer it for about half an hour until I see the seeds splitting open. What I would like to know is what do I do with it after this, when it has cooled down. Do I drain all the water off then just put in a bag and freeze and what if I’m going to use it over the weekend. Do I leave it standing on it’s own or put some water in to stop it drying out. Also I’ve been told to keep the water, as it’s good for mixing with my groundbait. How do I keep this just in a bottle and if so how long will it keep. Regards Mark.

I can't believe they have won it without me in the team LOL

Cheers all thanks for the replys.
