hi shimano i know someone that has a milo super 2000 13m pole for sale .. are these the downgrade of the milo super carp 2000 pole ???

ok thanks ive never used a zig rig as of yet but i will try it this summer .. ill proberley do a minimum of 48hours on the lake as ive heard you need atleast that to have a good session .. its also qite weedy so ill proberly approach it with my throwing stick n boilies hopfully ill get a new pb as 15lb isnt much but then again i only been fishing a small club water but now joining intertype and will be using the 2 lakes in colnbrooke anyone fished them lakes there ?

oh yeah sorry forgot to mention what fish ... carp i want to try and beat my pb of 15lb and my mates trying to beat his pb of 23lb

i usually use the korda long shank x but as most waters are barbless only rule i crush the barbs until its totally smooth and safe for the carp and ill always show the bailliff to double check its ok to use like that.. i jus do that by running my small finger over it .. ive caught lots of carp using a blowback with the long shank x hooks

Hi all, Ive decided to do a weekender at linear in the next couple weeks depending on the weather conditions being the uk anything can happen weather wise ... so i was hoping for some advice and tips on rigs and baiting as its my forst time goin to the place. thanks Richard

Im Going to thorney weir next week and would like as much information as possible reguarding bait, what the bottoms like and so on ... id like to catch something over 15lbs if thats possible in a day session thanks alot ...

here i got a 11m daiwa sr1 pole only 6months old. if you buy from the shops it only comes with 3 kits . but i have bought additional top kits to take it to 2x match kits 4x power kits and a cupping kit with cups. all elasticated with dacron connectors. has no damage whatsoever only a few minor scratches where the jpints of the pole is ( when you take pole apart to land fish ) but no damage ... costs £175 in shop with only 3 kits ive spent £120 on additional tops and cupping kit. and £30 on elasticating the pole. also get the holdall and tubes with it. only selling because im buying a longer pole if intrested message me and ill let you know a price from Greenford Area .

yeah its the big front lake .. i dont know why we aint fishing one of the smaller lakes thats more suited for matches but there you go ... haha .... thanks for your inout anyways ... ill proberly have a pole line for the bream and tench etc ... and ill put a feeder out with groundbait worm and caster .. worm hookbait and ill maybe try worm n caster cocktail ... gettin a reply is always great even if the feedback is good or bad thanks alot

Hi i only been match fishing a year so any advice on the venue and how to fish it would be great.. ive never fished there before so anythign will help me .. the match is next sunday 6th november i was thinking maybe havin a pole line as you always should and maybe chuckin a cage feeder out aswell ..

I was thinking about buying a cheap avanti margin pole .. has anyone got any good or bad feedback about the quality of the poles as in how light or heavy they are .. or the quality of the carbon used .. how easily they break .. any info will be great thanks alot ..

ok thanks ill give it a try

im writing about the preston innovation banjo feeders because i have been useing them since there launch date and have had a few problems with them. ive used pellets and groundbait but nomatter what the consistancy of either it jus doesnt stick to the feeder via the mould . but if you use sticky pellets and stuff it in the feeder by hand it seems to work . maybe its because the feeders themselves dont have any ridges to hold the bait to the feeder like the original feeders have. theres nothing to grip the bait really the mould just keeps hold of it better then the feeder does.. i dont think its just me .. so if youve used them id like to hear back from you either good or bad feedback is welcome.. Richard

thanks for the input i agree i wouldnt bother wasting my time on the tip in the colder weather ..i would rather use the pole and bag the silvers.. i was thinking about useing caster and worm ? n maybe some 4mm expanders for back-up aswell as some maggots ..

hi i have this rod and is very nice to use in terms of the playing action .. its nice and soft and can cope with big lumps onit .. at the moment im useing it as my match rod as my carbon active got broken ... so i would reccomend getting one

Hi everyone, i have a match at twynersh in november and have never fished there before and dont think ill hve a chance to practise it before hand either as im very busy. so any advice on which methods would be best to use would be great .. thanks

hey everyone . im fairly new to match fishing and its the 5th match of the season with my club and im not doing too bad atm in in the top 4 of the league .. but ive never fished rolfs before so i would like some advice on how tro fish it and what baits work best and anything els you may have to contribute .. thanks alot guys

hi my names richard .. i been pole fishing a year now i had the same trouble as you have with remembering the rigs .. so what i did was i kept my carp and silverfish rigs seprate and on each of the winders i jus put a sticker with for example ..ML (main line ) 5lb then HL ( hook lengh ) 3lb then HOOK 14 then id put the depht for example 4ft 6inch ... that way i know how deep n what line i have on each rig hope ive been a help .. let me know what you think of that idea

thanks andy
