Now to alot of people this will seem like a very stupid question, but were all beginners once! I am slighty unsure how to set my bobbins on my bite alarm up correctly, at the moment the line is very very tight, should it be like this? From casting out am i suppose to wind down and make it really tight? Any help will gladly recieved!

Im unsure, but id imgaine that they would make one too fit.

as far as I am aware there making an overwrap for it to fit the current model.

I use one and it took me a while to actually find a shop that sells them. However it is easy enough to make one yourself just take a large pike float for instance, and you can easily attach a method feeder to the bottom. I've never caught a carp on one but have other species, they generally self hook too!

as far as I know, drill them and place onto your hair rig and position with a boilie stop.

What do people think of the tribal range of clothing? I have been looking at the carping jacket, any body got one? if so what do you think?

Hi I have seem them advertised but have never them for sale! I would love to give them a try as I sometimes struggle putting them on! espically in the cold. Tight lines nd all tha ..

Peter, I am only wanting to use it for float fishing and possibly some light leger work. Do you think that the bait feeder version would be needed or not?

ps forgot to say, its the Interceptor Match-Feeder by okuma :-)

Has anyone used one of these before? I am thinking about getting one but just would like some feedback.

Can anyone tell me whats the advantage if any of using a centre pin when float fishing?

it looks like I have come accross as a complete idiot, that has just started fishing and is diving straight in with a bait boat. I was looking into one, because I think that in certain situations they could be of an advantage.

well what can i say, when I made this post I didn't think they would be as many people replying wow!

it amazes me how people are always going on about how they need new younger people in the fishing scene. Yet when you try and fish your own way (bait boat) you end up getting told to learn to cast!

randal, what sort of bad reports have u heard about the badger?

Is 15lb breaking strain line too heavy for carping? would it be affecting my chances at catching?

I am seriously considering getting one because, all of the really good spots were I fish are too far to be able to cast. Has anyone come accross the badger bait boat? I like the look of it as I do not want to spend the earth!

This has probably been asked before, but I wouldn't know since im only new! But what are peoples opinions on bait boats?

Can anyone give me any tips on how to get long casts?

hey anthony, I forgot to mention that yes I do use some rig tubing its brilliant stuff! No luck today :-( theres always friday to look forward too!

thanks for the welcome guys! ive been looking for a place like this for ages? Yes i will post some pictures if i do catch! 5 ounce with no shockleader? thats a big weight, didnt even use that much for sea fishing!

I normally cast to an ideal only about 70-80 feet infront of me, so it is of no great distance. So alot of force on the cast is not really needed, and I have had no breaks. Thanks for the advice! Im going fishing tomorrow for the full day, so hopefully might have some luck!

Hi i am new to the carp scene, i am 17 years old and have only caught one carp and that was on the float! I have just started using a wychwood rouge 2.75tc rod, with rouge reel and 15lb fox line. I have been using a direct inline 2ounce lead, with about 8 inches of hooklength and a pop up. Should I be using a shock leader?
