Was chatting to Brian a mate about "The secret Carp" video on YouTube, and he quoted that the book is one of the best he's read
It's one on my list as well

Already do,mate. The France set has already handled some 50+ fish from a snaggy and weedy water. Sure they will be up to the brutal US environment too. Nice rods, eh!

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! I remember a mate buying a set back in the day and drooling over them, I could only afford a set of Shimano perfections back then lol.

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).

OH just got 5 k of scopex squid, cheaper than a rod pod and still looks nice

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...
