Never many new ideas in fishing Budgie, but some good solutions there to problems that have been addressed thoughout this brilliant thread, namely line clips and windproof bobbins. I like to give guys like this my money, made in Britain and all that. I just wish we had more of this sort of thinking, which is what I was getting at really.

I think Keith Fielding could answer, and indeed has, alot of questions that have been raised on this thread. His stuff is about the best there is in my opinion - http://www.defiantmps.com/index.htm - and especially his indicator systems - http://www.defiantmps.com/indicators.htm

Roach or Perch - any time, any place, anywhere. Both stunning to look at, and can be fished for with a variety of methods, but both readily on my favourite method, the waggler.

Not quite - those just use the zinger for storage of the cord during transit. I was thinking more of using the zinger to keep the bobbin cord under tension, as an alternative to weighting it.
With the right line clip, I see know reason why you couldn't do it with the Solar Recoil. Unlike most zingers, it has a knurkled wheel that locks to ensure the cord isn't retracted. You could slacken it off slightly so it would recoil as sooon as it was touched; a line bite.

Has anyone tried attaching a bobbin to one of these?
What, like this? - http://www.solartackle.co.uk/indcustom/recoil01.html

This guy might be able to help, as I have seen those pins on ebay from time to time.

Yep, the Exage STC, or a Beastmaster STC. I have a few Exage travel rods and they all all fantastic.

Never liked the cork ball method. It looks bang on but it's a pain in behind. I suppose if I was expecting a long haul between bites and the quality of the fish makes the effort worth doing, I'd do it again...maybe.
That's what's great about the maggot clips, they are so damned easy to use, alot easier than any other multiple maggot hookbait presentation. They aren't heavy either.
-
A small, circular item with a pointed end that clips into a 'U'-shaped bit. You thread several maggots onto them, close them up, then hair-rig them
And fantastic bits of kit they are too!
-
"A great assist in the loading of Maggot Clips."
They are to squeeze the maggot clips so that you can open or close them, and not for the maggots themselves.

Obviously oh faceless one
Oh Ted....ya big ballax!

But likewise they do have to be of a decent standard to be regular contributors.
They obviously don't........ you're never out of the mags!

.I personally dont like anything that James Holgate writes so very soon became dissalusioned with P&P.
That said I reckon some of the stuff on both here and FishingMagic rates higher.
Totally agree on both counts.
-
I have bought Pike and Predator since the start of the year and find the articles both well written and interesting.
I did too....................at the start. Same old same old!!!
-
I've also noticed that there isn't a lot of advertisements in TCF either, something that most definitely cannot be said for IYCF. Coarse fishing is not carp fishing therefore I do not want a magazine dominated by them, nor the methods for which to fish for them. TCF seems to me to have the best mix.
Coarse Angling Today is complete rubbish in my opinion, as is its sister publication, Pike & Predators. Their forum really says it all!! I do not like the way the articles (for the most part) are written, and they both have a very amateurish feel to them. It is a shame about P&P as I pike fish a lot, and there just doesn't seem to be a good magazine catering for predator fishing. CAT and P&P would be much better as one title in my opinion.

I do not think this magazine does what it states I have been a subscriber for 5 years and I am now really fed up thay it does not improve my fishing as it states..........................................................................
.....................................................
Although the last couple of "New Look" magazines have been alright, it's definitely aimed at the commercial carper. Disappointing since Kev Green is the editor. I prefer "Coarse Fisherman", to which I subscribe, although I am seriously considering ditching it in favour of "Total Coarse Fishing", if anyone has any thoughts on that title?........................

Look at either the Chub, or Fox range. Very comfortable and both excellent quality

Guys - wondered if anyone knew where I can get a spare spool from for the above? I know it was a relatively rare model (probably due to it being bloody expensive!) but its my favourite spinning reel and i want a spare spool with braid on it... any help, much appreciated.

Like the sound of that, may have to try some soon.

I thought that was what Airflo's Ridge Line was like?
-
I've been reading alot of negative comments about fluorocarbon, has anyone got any good news? What about Korda IQ or Gardner Subterfuge in the stiff versions?
Rich
IQ is alright for certain rigs, have used it with success on the method feeder. Seaguar is awesome stuff, as is it's sister Riverge. Seaguar for high B/S, Riverge for lower. More problems come about as a result of the knot rather than the line. Saying that, I think Berkley Vanish is absolute s***e and should be banned, it is that bad! Snaps like cotton on anything than takes a half decent run.
-
Those duolocks are alright, I used them before I changed to their power snaps. I changed because they were prone to opening during pike & saltwater fly-casting. They are also completely useless for heavy lure / jerkbait fishing. I've a friend with arthritis, and he uses the lead clips, and I've yet to see one of those fail, although I personally have reservations for heavy lure work. I will see how he goes with them though.

It was never made, as the one on the show was a prototype avon-style rod, based on the Diaflash spinning rod that Shimano did have in production at the time of filming.
