Hello all
Well I'm certainly not "new to the forum" but I have been MIA for a few years after moving to Toronto, Canada.
I have been on and off fishing since being here (moved in 2007) and haven't posted on here since 2015, I now have two kids so it has made my fishing very sparse, like 2 or 3 times a year, the seasons are pretty short because of the cold weather which also doesn't help.
Bait making was always a big thing and after moving to Canada I discovered that its a huge struggle to get any of the boilie ingredients, plus most of the carp here have never seen a hook or bait in their life so naturals like maize works extremely well, plus its very difficult to prebait a water as vast as lake Ontario 
I sort of switches hobbies and started brewing beer and entering competitions. I really miss the fishing and carp scene (which is almost non existent here in Canada) and decided that its time to concentrate on the hobby that I really love and is a lot more healthy.
I do miss the bait making and the Canadian Carp Club has started stocking CC Moores baits and ingredients so I'm now excited with the thought of making my own base mixes again and catching on my baits again, even if they are going to cost a fortune with the prices of the ingredients due the Canadian Carp Club having to pay to ship them over here. . There are still a few months to go before its warm enough to get onto the back on to the bank but I'm super buzzing..
Just wanted to drop in and say a "Hello again, I'm back" to the old timers who remember me, and a Hi to those who have joined since I went MIA.
Its good to be back.

Hi, I'm in Midlands uk. Used the site for a faq reference point really. I now find myself needing some more bespoke information though so needed to register. Great source of information by the way guys, thank you.
If anyone can help, (I'm sorry of posted in wrong area) I am in search of spare spools for the Penn Affinity 2 8000 LC or equivalent. I don't know if the new 3 spools fit, or if the 7000 do either. Any help appreciated.
Cheers
