You could try Fake bread. My wife uses it a lot and it seems to work for her.

Lakeside Fishery near Wolvey allow night fishing by prior arrangement. My wife and I fished it last year but caught nothing it was late in the year but the lake was still busy.....I only heard one run in 13 hours.

My main line is 15lb Power plus mono and my Hook length is 12lb Power plus mono. I alwys thought that a bottom end should be approximately 3/4 of the breaking strain of your mainline. I've never snapped when playing a fish since I swapped to Power Plusbut have broken off once when snagged under water on a sunken tree and that was just the hook length so all the fish had was hook and 6 inches of 12lb line.

I'm really glad I sat and read this thread as I thought I would be in a very small minority of people who use cheaper kit. My most expensive bit of kit are my bite alarms at #40 I have 2 second hand rods and 2 cheap Argos baitrunner style reels,and I agree that what actually gfoes under the water is the most important peice of tackle(Good bait and Terminal tackle). I'd like to thank everyone for the info on this thread as it has made me feel a lot more confident about going to a lake with my budget kit.

This is how I feel (but not the cigarette)my missus can't understand why I can't sleep the night before I go fishing. I've tried allsorrts too 'drop-off' but just seem to have things going through my mind. Have I got everything ready for a swift get away is the most common and I usually still forget something.
