Is there much difference between minima guides and the vortex air appearance wise? Johnson Ross are saying the vortex are a better ring set but I've never had any problems with minimas on my Torrix I love them!

Any one have experience with the ti forged rings? They are anti frap.

I have the Kigan 50mm on my Torrix at the moment and they look and perform great.

Tackle box make rods to custom spec so I've asked for a quote of the rod in the link but with full shrink. Will these be better than off the shelf rods? They are saying 6-8 week lead time. Or is it better to shop elsewhere?

Looking at getting a set of these with the 50mm rings in black edition from Johnson Ross.

Anyone got a set and can leave some feedback please?

Currently have a set of Torrix 3,1/4 black edition full shrink wrap, had them just over a year , they look nice and perform ok but I want something that can chuck a bit further. Torrix aren't the best playing action either in that test curve.

Thanks

I have already been soaking in egg white but will add the alb.

I didn't mention that I'm making one mix for corkies and wafters at the same time by addding 5g of spheres. The wafters are too soft after a 5/6 hours so I'm guessing more hardeners are required?

The mix is basically too soluble due to the extra high amount of powders. Usually I go lower on extras and haven't had this problem.

The last batch I made were far too soft after a good few days air drying when in the lake for 4-5 hours the paste was coming away from the cork ball.

I'm using 100g hard hookbait mix that have the hardening agents already added, then adding another 80g of my own powders and additives.

Could anyone help me with the egg albumen and whey gel dosage for the extra powders?

The aa baits (that I have) recommended levels are:

Whey gel - Recommend inclusion level is up to 5% – (50g) per kg base mix

Egg albumin - Recommend inclusion level is up to 20% – (200g) per kg base mix.

Shall I just follow this guide or can anyone recommend amounts that will work without blocking the baits up.

Thanks

Any suggestions?

Is there any information about a new fast & light being released? The design has been about years and needs some rear vents in my opinion.

Has anyone tried adding Molasses to the maize along with the fuctose syrup? Thinking it's super high sugar content would work well and help with the fermentation?

I have bottles of the Salmigo and hydro shrimp. Amazing liquids you can tell just by smelling them they are a cut above. I don't make feed bait, only hook baits so was thinking more along the lines of just using it for coating things and in bag mixes and hookbaits etc. So the tuna is also defo worth a getting?

Anyone used this? £36 quid a kilo is pricey. Would this be better than a krill powder or GLM for dusting up boilies and pellets. Currently on Trent Shrimp.
