It's more versatile as you can still run it from hp cans, where I don't think you can run the hp version from a big bottle.
I think gerry told me that on here the day after I bought the hp version 
I quite fancy the cob with the extras so I can do a beer can chicken on the bank, seemed a bit bulky when I looked at them tho

Keith may be able to give you some figures, but being titanium I would imagine they are a bit lighter than the Jag stainless stuff.
The stainless auger points and hex heads on the dreadnoughts will add a bit of weight, so if weight reduction is your ultimate goal there is the option of the standard TBN, but I doubt the extra is any more than a tin of corn. I carry a 19mm socket wrench if I know the ground is tricky and they will pull down into absolutely anything.
I think the main selling point is that you speak directly to Keith, who makes everything to your spec for about the same price as something off the shelf. I know if I ever need something weird and wonderful for a specific venue he will be able to knock it up. The quality is great and he doesn't try and pull your pants down with the price of accessories like stage stands etc.
Anyone can go and buy a Jag set up in AD and I'm sure it's good stuff, but the MPS kit feels a bit more special..
For bits of metal you put in the ground .

Just purchased a bucket to put all my solid bag bits in & made a load of solid bag rigs up, after whatching Mark Pitchers on utube - "solid bag carp fishing"

I look at it this way:
Sometimes although it may not be essential it stops us going stir crazy, mental, bat sh.. crazy. If that means bait making ingredients to make bait, or even rig making bits and pieces, something to keep occupied then it has become essential.
On that note, I purchased some BAF pop-up mix as I need some more pop-ups for the reservoir. I hadn't used many of my garlic oil and Megaspice, but made the mistake of leaving the cupboard door open when I went out, and my bait testing dog decided the plastic tub needed checking, apparently the lid was loose, so she ate them😖😱😁
Another purchase was a full Rod Hutchinson Cabrio Brolly system. I didn't need it, the TFG Oval is still good, but...

Mate I have been an absolute idiot. Already have a full set up but had to cancel a trip to France which I thought we would have lost the money from but found they had refunded us. Also managed to get my travel money back from the credit card company so was feeling a little flush.
Ended up buying a shed load of Fox luggage, a 'Spare' Daiwa Tournament 5000T for a floater set up, a Wychwood Pod (Crap so going back) and loads of end tackle so I can keep making up a few rigs for when I get back on the bank....these are to go with the four dozen rigs I have already tied whilst waiting to get back on the bank
Also because I am still fortunate to be working I have renewed my membership on two waters and the gym (never go but don't feel so bad about all the takeaways whilst fishing).

I’ve just won a set of Daiwa dictator z powermesh mk11 LD 2.75 tc on the bay, didn’t particularly need them but I thought they’d make lovely rods for smaller intimate venues!

Magnesium and magnesium alloy are highly flammable and would be highly dangerous to machine without specialised equipment. Using a water based coolant is a no no as it adds oxygen to the combustion counter intuitively. Immersed in oil I believe is the method.

I've been pretty good to be honest. I'm the worlds worst at buying crap I don't need.
The number of times I've thought I needed something urgently for my tacklebox, purchased it and then discovered I've got two packs unopened sitting in a drawer somewhere..... 
Only thing fishing related I've bought is a summerweight sleeping bag (Snugpak Jungle). All of my overnighters are done during the Summer months and I sweat my conkers off in my current bag. I can use this one as a lightweight blanket if need be....

For a metalworker you'd probably be better off stabilising timber before working it (epoxy resin and a vacuum pump)
It does as its told after that, and stays that way with a little care.
I remember Gary Mills saying something about titanium for centerpins but I can't remember why he decided not to use it.
Can magnesium be worked or does it have to be cast
I did look into getting the kit to make my own but I could probably get a couple of Chris lythes for less money

In reply to Post #88
Sounds good but the more I look and study, the work involved to make identical parts, screws etc... is it worth all the time???
I could probably make a Center Pin from scratch to my own design in less time then refurbishing one, one of my mates made 500 of them last December for a client.
It's got me thinking - in Titanium
Another mate of mine Brian is a master Carpenter, he has the patience to work with the stuff - not me, I've made Bank Sticks and Buzz Bars out of solid Oak and Teak for fun in the past.

Hi Taz,
I’d essentially wrap the tank and pipe work with insulation to prevent the water becoming warm (below 20c ideally) with regards to chlorination, I’ve done some quick calculations and you only need 0.5ml of <5% house hold bleach (sodium hypochlorite) in 50 litres to give a residual of 0.7mg/l, remember if your using distilled water it will have virtually no chlorine demand. Another alternative would be to use tap water which will have some where in the region 0.3 - 0.5mg/l of chlorine residual.
Cheers
Leigh

Nice one Leigh very much appreciated.
When you say lightly insulate the vessel, where would I need to do that please?. In the plastic water tank itself?.
Edit - Also please mate how much liquid ‘or how many tablets’ would you add to a 50 litre tank of distilled water please?.
Thank you.
|
|

In reply to Post #74
Hi Tazi,
I’m a water production engineer, a tiny amount of sodium hypochlorite would sort it, maybe lightly insulating the vessel as well would help, to prevent legionella the temps need to be below 20c or above 50c to maintain a safe conditions. We use tablets for chlorinating small vessels, each tablet is equates to 1000mg/L but you wouldn’t need to got to that extreme.

What Bob James uses, look very nice, as do Youngs.
I'm going to do what Chris Yates seems to do - bit of distance, put a Fixed spool on (Mitchell 301 in my case) It's pristine, a shame to use.
The options of Pins for close in- once you look the options are vast, I've seen a couple that take my fancy - both need some renovation work mainly due to age (Screws worn, bushes need changing, re-enamelling if dire) One's so rare I've only ever seen one advertised, think that's going to be the one, not going to name as search engines would go into melt down

I think you might need to research that a bit as I’m not an expert in water treatment.
Swimming pool chlorination treatment comes to mind, but I wouldn’t like to say for sure.
Many years ago I used to have a pool and I seem to remember we simply treated it with tablets to chlorinate and kill the bugs, but do some searching on legionnaires water treatment. Perhaps talk to swimming pool suppliers.

Hi Tazi
Possibly a jest but in case it’s not, be careful of legionnaires if the water stands for long periods. Possibly treat it before use or if you have an in-line uv then you should also be ok. We used to use plain chlorinated tap water for our misting but we are in a soft water area.

In addition when I have received any post it gets cleaned down with bleached water and goes in to 48 hour quarantine before I handle it. Maybe ott yet it keeps my mind at ease.

I was going to order a new set of Delkims last night but I’m pleased I stopped myself as I doubt we will be fishing before June. Having said that there is plenty of time for me to change my mind, obviously is the tackle shops are still open.
I get that’s its a difficult call if we should or should not by things and have them delivered I’ve gone through that thought process as have we all. The Desk was essential for me. The other items not so, however I justified it to my self as the time for my own mental health staying positive having something to look forward to bla bla bla.
Anyway with a lot of mis-information being thrown about by various governments and social media the only real place to obtain information is from The world health organisation and it’s worth a read.

I get what you're saying, but who can determine what is essential and what isn't? The outfit that someone buys to go out, well they won't be going out but it may just boost their self esteem a bit trying it on sharing pics etc. The games that parents buy to keep the kids happy for a day may just save them from despair. Something that may seem non-essential to you could be supporting someones well-being. Also, many businesses will need to keep ticking over just to survive when we eventually get back to normal.

With so many people desperate for money in the near future I'm sure there will be a glut of second hand vehicles up for sale. Along with everything else people think they can live without. Sad but true.

I need to buy a vehicle so I can get around And get a new job but I don’t want to buy one Until I get a job lol
Not sure if it would count as essential travel to buy one or not lol

It might just be me but I find it pretty selfish buying non essential stuff at this present time.
The people who get this stuff to your door most likely are putting themselves at a high risk of infection. Most probably don't won't to be out there working let alone handling more then they need to, postal workers, delivery drivers, warehouse staff etc.
I personally think only essential items should be possessed until this **** storm is under control.
Just my thoughts.

Is any one else just browsing through various fishing tackle websites and purchasing unnecessary tackle....
I done it last night whilst the missus was watching something or other on Netflix... Just realised I've spent 70 of the queens finest on items I didn't really want or need....
I have a bad habit on clicking on sale / clearance sections and adding bits to my basket....my particular Achilles heel is hooks, I've got more hooks than the local tackle shop...I always pick up a pack or two with every purchase whether that be on line in in person in an actual shop...
