we've also found swims on Nursery even when we pop over for a morning. There aren't a lot of swims but due to not being a runs water it is probably the quietest on the complex. followed by copse, Match and South in warmer months will be quite full. Winter a lot better, most of the time pretty empty, Have a look at Mill lane, as you have to book on you can guarantee a swim no matter what day.

Tarn gets full but again bookable so your get a swim.

I have the Solar version is also very good,which I do like you can use the end bars to hold up the ends and there are rods you can insert to make the sides stiffer. plus the case is good quality and easy to carry, its the reason I purchased it to be honest, as need to be mobile.

I had a set 11Ft MK 1's before I snapped the tip in a gate, absolutely loved these rods, So much so that I spent an age finding a blank with similar action, ended with 2lb Torrix 12ft specialist blank chopped to 11ft, got the same action using 30mm eyes.

You wouldn't of been disappointed absolute playing action.

All the waverunner boats can be got cheaper, waverunner simply buy them direct and stick their labels on them if you look around some china sites.

As for exploding shuttle, it was the screw cover model, mate used to just take home charge and bring back, I wouldn't of believed it myself but was on the the lake that backs on. literally blew the whole deck off handle and everything. Never heard of it before but someone suggested it was a build up from the lead batteries.

I have had a sport since they came out, spare batteries? I get at least 5 hours from mine that's a lot of putting baits out without charging so I don't need to buy spare batteries.
Its a lot lighter than a shuttle with the batteries fitted, I never actually remove my batteries even when charging at home. I had a shuttle that also had water ingress into the hopper, when going forward the back also got water in it!!! The front of the sport seems to stay dry although again when motoring forward water will get in the hopper, they aren't high enough above water level not too.

The main differences between the shuttle and the sport are the speed sending the baits out, weight and access to the battery area and motherboard. you can actually adjust the trim on the motherboard rather than on the handset so set it up to run fairly straight, they are small so never really run true.

I initially added a TF500 sonar to mine as comes fully wired for one and with removable lid was easier to fit and cheaper than having Waverunner fit one.

Is it worth the extra money, don't know had both prefer sport.

ps anyone ever seen a Shuttle exploded it sounds like a bomb going off, mate had his blow up on local syndicate I was on the lake behind and had to go and see what the explosion was, all I say if it had been on land it would of maimed him. reason we believe was charging without removing the covers. But it did go off like a bomb, believe any lead acid battery can do the same.

Most of my hook links I've pre tied ( probably 50 to 60 ) and a box of tied chods. So generally just carry ESP tungsten in case. we tend to carry far more than we need.

Mine used too fit on my ELS although I had to fit it with the foot bit up slightly to start with! once I had the bag fitted I could push the foot section down if that makes sense.

Depends what your trying to do? Waters I fish I am looking for pin point accuracy and I'm literally firing out one or two boilies at a time, but I can hit the pop up foam or be dam close at 40m every time. I use the Drennan match ( Seymo do similar ) pults in different elastic strength, that way the same pull gives the same distance. I carry 3, a 25m, a 35m and a 45m elastic, cups can only hold a few boilies, but I can also use halves which are a bit random in where they land but generally still on target at the shorter ranges.

No good if you want to dump a kilo all over the lake but if you want to get bait accurate then best way I've found.
