Nothing I can do about it as I stepped down from admin on here. So it's all on Elton to fix.

I doubt Elton was doing anything, he hardly comes on here any more.

Braid can be the kiss of death for a fish in snaggy waters as the braid will most likely cut into underwater branches rather than "flow" over it like mono can.
Use decent strong line, I use 24lb 0.35mm control mono from pbproducts and can honestly say its the best line I've used in 30+ years of fishing.
Stay locked up, reel drags tight, tight lines and absolutely no baitrunners.
Strong banksticks or even better a goal post set up (as shown below).
Never a rod pod, these can get pulled over by an angry carp.
Be on your rod within seconds and use plenty of side strain in the opposite direction to the snags.
Most importantly of all, use SAFE rigs, no leaders of any kind. Especially those so called "safe zone" leaders. They simply are not safe in snaggy areas.
Ideally use hooklinks weaker than your mainline. I use either 12lb or 15lb hooklinks.
Use strong hooks, continental style hooks have a heavier gauge wire and are less likely to open up. Banktackle.co.uk continental hooks are superb for hit and hold type snag fishing.
Anything else, just ask and I'll try to help.

Any further updates Steve?

Its a known gigabyte board issue. I had the same thing when i had a gigabyte board.
Nothing i did would fix it, updated downgraded drivers, etc... i got sick of the issues with the gigabyte board and sent it back and got an asus board. No problems since then.

Shouldn't need a leader for that casting weight, I've cast 50-65g feeders/weights well in excess of 80yds on 8lb straight through.

Its a known scam site. The cost of a 3 rod coarse license is £45. (I know i bought mine the other week).
This site charges £60 for the same license.

Thats one of the many reasons why I only use imgur.com for image uploads.

Cheers fella.
Hopefully I'll have all my new tackle by then
Currently re-buying all the gear and more that I sold 6-7 years ago when I moved abroad. Already spent 600 quid in the past 3 weeks with maybe another 1500-2000 yet to spend lol.

I found a couple of patterns I like. Korda Korve and Nash Fang X.
These seem to be the closest shape and size to the old GLT penetrator 2 hooks (my all time favourite hook pattern).
-
Will there be one this year?
-
Thread moved to correct forum.
-
Damn, thats well out of my price range unfortunately.
-
After being out of the game for several years I've noticed that my old favourite line and hooks are no longer available.
(Sufix synergy line and penetrator 2 hooks).
Can anyone recommend good alternatives that have a proven history. (Re: hooks, as close to the P2 pattern/design as possible).
-
I've fished the Farnham waters in the past and didn't really like them.
So still on the look out atm.
Steve, whats the going rate on the Wingham carp lake? Would love to fish there again, if possible.
Monkey climbers

Does anyone actually still use these?
I ask as I'm on the lookout for some old school Solar monkey climbers if anyone has any that they'd part with?
