Go to http://www.catchmorecarp.com They have a pretty good section on how to tie and make various rigs

It is certainly isn,t a new method payara,like peter said,we used to load up 2 or 3 hairs with the particle we where using at the time,sweetcorn,chick peas etc but i stopped because i was worried about the particle masking the hook point(i was a worrier back in those days) Hows life peter :confused:

www.catchmorecarp.com has a lot of starter info

Daiwa Sensor.

Sorry to break up this torrid love affair gents but has anyone used the specs for actually fish spotting :confused: :confused: I have heard how well there made and how cheap they are ,but some glasses are better at reducing glare than others,thats all

Selby 3 lakes web page

Had a similar problem with Bevans Tackle of Essex :mad: :mad: but found Summerlands Tackle(www.summerlands.co.uk) cheap and reliable for line etc Danson Angling,JKTackle and Tackle Box all excellent mail order

aanthony,thats just the Hurricane ,i got it when they were on offer for £50 Alright for keeping the wind off you,but thats about it

I,ve got the Hurricane shelter and it is a pain in the arse to put up ,i,ve got the Profile as well and it is the best shelter/brolly you could ask for . Contrary to what people say :confused: there is nothing wrong with it and it keeps me perfectly dry.

Are we talking carp fishing raz???? If so,i wouldn,t be too despondent,it is the slowest time of the year,plus you have to take into account the type of water you are fishing,head for heavily overstocked "pastie" waters this time of year for the best chance of getting your stick bent.

Only second hand ones available now Check out these web sites http://www.carptackletrader.com http://www.fishydeals.co.uk I would be very surprised if he found any has they are in great demand from carpers You can get smaller versions but only from the States Daiwa SS 2600 http://www.cabelas.com had them in last year but not sure about now. :confused: :confused:

My m8 runs a small bait company that sells a full range of "proper" CSL pellets,fast breakdown betaines etc cheap and his own range of ready rolled freezer baits including the"Big Fish mix" spicy red bird mix etc etc mailto:stecobbold@hotmail.comstecobbold@hotmail.com

Just a cheesy fishing diary for me It was off my 6 year old son though for Xmas

My Maver SF5000s big pit reels. You think you have a good reel in the Daiwa Emblem S ?? These Mavers are Emblem Z eaters, i think they are better than the Infinity BTRs,and i,ve used both. The clutch is the best on the market,bar none,probably because of the 13 BALL BEARINGS. And all for £80 See them at web page AWESOME

I seemed to have stumbled across something. :confused: Just saying what i saw,thats all

Advertising for a m8 Very good condition 2 handsets Custom carry bag Receivers Front lights Swap for pair of Terry Hearns 12ft 2.9s Give Garry a ring on 07939 466576

Theres a lot of monsters on there sure enough,but a lot of them seem "pushed out" for the camera or at least appear. Am i missing something or doesn,t it tell you the weights :confused: :confused: Either way,big kippers all round

I cannot seem to get them on,is it because my piccies are jpeg at the end :confused: :confused:

The reason i ask Fishing4carp is,i have seen a trend on other forums of posts by young lads,12-15 years old,wanting info on buying 3 and 3.5lb test curve rods. :confused: What on earth they would want a rod with a test curve of that poundage is beyond me There is no way a lad who probably weighs 6 stone wringing wet could compress a rod of that test curve to gain the distances they SAY they need. I think they look at the big names in the mags and it says "caught on a 3.5 tc Century or whatever" and assume they need a rod of that strength. The reality of it is they would probably be able to cast further with a 2.5 tc than with a 3.5,because they would be able to utilise the power in the butt section,which after all is where power of the cast comes from. Sorry for rambling on,i find it hard to comprehend,there probably just mini tackle tarts doing their apprenticeship

Seph,you will probably find it is an insurance matter. If there is any injuries or deaths during a unauthorised period on the lake the club is libel probably. The club or landowner probably won,t pay the premiums for 24 hour fishing. I maybe wrong,but i think thats what it is likely to be

Why such a heavy test curve????? :confused: Long range or heavy leads/feeders ?????

Mine are 3 Biomaster 7000s.Not what i expected at all.Crap clutch and have an slack and un-engineered feel about them

Aaaahhhhhhh Dockers What a blast from the past that is The Railway bank with locos rolling 5 foot behind the brolly Then theres the Stell, with the stolen motorbikes thrashing up and down the coal banks all day Happy Days Peter,happy days

I started fishing for carp in 1984 at a place called Greystones Reservoir (sound familiar Peter)and Locke Park. My fishing life began in 1983 when i joined a m8 for a after school session at Albert Park after saying "fishings for farts" I caught a small roach first cast ,and that was it,i was smitten Caught my first carp from Greystones (8lb)on Richworth Smoked Ham boilies and went on to catch the record for the place at 13lb 4oz(1985)Caught a few from Locke Park as well on Tuttis
