I've had the deeper boat for a while. Must admit to not using it very often over here but still. Its been an excellent boat every time ive used it.

Never had a problem until the update, then took out a few weeks ago and had the zig zagging issue and it not setting home as it entered the water. So i did the calibration and it was back to working fine.

A tip is to calibrate it in an open space if possible, not around loads of trees etc next to the lake

such a shame, he saved everyone on this forum money at some point

Surely the bargains share the knowledge thread should be named after him now.

There are loads of non carp branded ones out there at half the price.

have a google about

i have sat on an older Nash (i think) one before and like the poster below the bar across the bottom was a tad annoying

you can get these on eBay for 7.99 at the moment.

glad i paid full whack last week! they are a decent little torch though

i have had XTB, XTC and now have XTC Ci4s all on 5500

the first two weren't great at all. but for the money the Ci4s for me are superb and cannot fault them (i have 4). although i know some dont agree.

bin citronella off and buy a thermacell that sits on top of a gas bottle.

£30 odd from Amazon

if there are only 3 of you don't be afraid to move about. I've not fished it since the new owners took over but they certainly used to move about and find the areas with fewer lines

reckon i've done 8/9 trips since 2011-2019 and have fished all of the "old" pegs (except 12 weirdly lol). Peg 13 out fished the rest on all but 1 trip I think...

have to say the thermocell is brilliant.

they are about 40 quid and the cartridges work out about £1 a go if you shop around but my god what a difference this thing made in France last week. my mate had one in his swim and i didn't. i will have in future!

it screws on top of your gas bottle (uses v little gas) and away you go
