It is, very often (more than not in fact) posted on Fishery Rules Notice boards, that "In Line", & sometimes also "Free Running" Leads & Feeders Only are allowed.
I'm of coarse talking about Commercial Fisheries here & there must be some substance in it, like less lost fish due to snagging up, more chance of the Lead coming Free in that event.

Well done Ken, great to see someone is getting out & keeping the site, trundling along !!

i always have 4 pouched eggs for breakfast so its definately weird.
That's It Dave - you're Egg-bound!!!
Maybe try just 2 scrambled eggs, the English way with about a 1/4 pint of whole milk (nearly typed milf there) & 2 or 3 slices of buttered toast, salt & white pepper. Stand there & do it in a saucepan, (no, not that!!) stirring constantly - not that Microwave Sh*te method.
Looks like 4 eggs when it's on the plate.

Just seen that West Africa is seeing drought & flood conditions, which is driving up Cacao prices.
Maybe then, even bigger gaps in Toblerone, Bigger bubbles in Aero &, "If Ya Like a Lot of Chocolate on ya Biscuits" - Club membership could, be on the decline!!

Come on fellas - It's been 2 days short of a month since anyone posted on the coarse anglers section
so lets kick off with yet another one, sure to kill it off for good (Hopefully Not)
Here's a few more, Maggot & Method Feeders I made out of detergent spray bottles & tubes, sweetex dispensers, Inhalers (Don't we need them, to breathe a bit of life) and CO2, Airgun cartridges. Have I a hope or half a chance??
But Anywayee - What would you say ......

I've a mate, who believes that Gov' Agencies have the ability to watch you via the Telly !!
Who knows??
People laughed about moving pictures, electric lighting (They'd never catch on) & putting a man on the Moon!!

Perhaps our sudden influx of muslims are here to impregnate the surviving females
It'd save me a job, & make more time to go fishin'.

Pearl Barley was eaten as an old Remedy for Issues, "Down There" - specifically in women suffering with Cystitis.

Celery & Pearl Barley is good in soups.

Ey' up guys & gals,
Here's a Cough Medicine that really works. (I have COPD & stuff) Up to buying this, I had none stop, coughing bouts for very many, non stop, choking minutes. (Phlegm & all the rest)
Have to say, this stuff is a "Revelation". I haven't coughed hardly at all in the last 24 hours (3 doses)
Tenner for 200 ml, well worth the relief!! (smaller bottle also available)
Got it from the chemist, but maybe can also get from Supermarket??

I have just got my next years tax code from HMRC . On it is my next years State Pension amount. I have not yet heard from gov.uk what the amount will be. How come the Revenue know before me ??
Alarm Bells are ringing!!
I assume that came in the form of a Letter ? & not by email/online.
The scammers are getting smarter day by day so, if it's the latter, do not respond!!
Even if it's by Letter, you should contact HMRC & ask the Question, how they knew before you. The Letter could also be a Scam, so I wouldn't subscribe to ANY Links provided in the Letter until you have some answers, Directly from HMRC by Telephone. (Google HMRC - Don't use phone Numbers on the Letter)
Like to think we're looking out for each other on here buddy.

Hi Keith,
you mean like these??, a lot of the wagglers are out of plastic drinking straws. + a baiting Needle out of an Earwax removal tool handle & a Darning needle with the back of the eye cut off.
A lot of the 'Top and Bottom' (2nd pic') floats are out of various, Corporate, Logo'd Pens, which I conned from Reps over the years (They Never refused in case it helped, Oil the wheels towards making a sale) Ok, so very far from "Shop Finished", but all are "Water Tested" (In wife's Vases) & work very well.
The 3rd pic' are materials I'll be using Next.

Here's 2 more Method Feeders, the yellow one is the top half of an 'Elbow Grease' spray. White one off a different spray.
Thought I'd put them on in, as yet, 'unpainted'.
-
The Yellow one is out of the 'Elbow Grease' Spray top half & the White one is out of an different one.

Maybe you could Strap a cordless screwdriver/drill to the Quill of the pillar drill (I'm thinking maybe, BIG, Jubilee clips??) with the Quill locked ??
They all have reverse. Shove a couple of bits of 1/2" wood or beading behind the quill, so the clips really Bite In.
Unplug the Pillar Drill.

We've just bought a bottle of 'Elbow Grease', Washing Up Liquid from Asda, 89p 600ml.
Better than half price of Fairy Liquid & just as good. We also use the Elbow Grease Kitchen & all purpose degreaser spray, £1.25 for 500ml. (Top half of the spray also makes a cracking Method Feeder, the long tube inside, also fits generic Method & quick change beads perfectly)

Not sure how often John checks in. You can just edit the first post to remove the details.
Your iteration is super crude, but conceptually being able to clip up to control casting distance and unclip on the fly if you hook a big fish is very useful.
Dyson had to start Somewhere Lol !!

You might think about taking the post down and running it past some tackle manufacturers - reel makers first.
Cheers Ken, I've msg'd JohnS asking him to take it down, & I've emailed a well known Brand about it.

I have been investigating the new litter .....vapes ! Nice rechargable 3.7v lithium cells for reusing in projects .Bugger knows why they use rechargable batteries in disposable vapes though.The best ones are the flat or oval types that have pouch versions i reuse them in our many rechargable nightlights we use all over the house (they come on when they see motion) why waste turning on lights when a battery light will do as you pass one room to another .Two batteries last longer than one less recharging
Mrs turned some of the aluminium tubes into a wind chime ,that should impress the neighbours lucky they are some distance away lol
Collect as many as you can ASAP Dave, Government is in the throes of making them Illegal, to discourage the kids from buying out of their pocket money.

Can't beat a bit of "Mucky Fat" (Pork dripping & brown jelly bits) from the butchers shop, spread thin on sliced bread with a sprinkling of salt.
One of my "Guilty Pleasures". Fold it in half like a Jam Buttie.
T'was also, favourite fayre for Pub games nights.
