I really like 35lb Korda Boom with fairly large figure 8 loops.

I use silicone to go over the knots to stop them catching on weed as the lake I am on is full of silk weed.

I would highly recommend it, especially if you're bored of the generic product led waffle you get on YouTube. It's honest, fun fishing adventures with no BS.

Dave has a great outlook on his fishing and life in general. I used to love his vlogs with TF Gear and this is very similar to those. He's also done episodes where he goes back and talks about previous campaigns.

I subscribed a few months ago and went back to work through the entire archive from the start. I'm still a year or so behind."

Just been offered a ticket. Can anyone share any information? DM if preferred.

I looked at the Korda one in a shop recently and thought the quality of all their luggage was very cheap. The zips looked weak and the material was very thin.

I have a TA one and it's great but a little small and not that comfortable either so it usually ends up on the barrow for big pushes. I had the Cotswolds Aquarius one but sold it after one 2 or 3 trips as I didn't like the configuration on the pockets and again not comfortable.

Interested to see what the ESP one is like.

I never got on with Amnesia as I found it a bit too wirey.

I was using Thinking Anglers Think Link for my D rigs and booms for hinges since it came out. Just the right amount of flexibility.

Recently I have been using Korda XT Snag leader. It's much cheaper as it comes on a 100m spool. I feel the colour is better that the think link.

I would use braid with a 5ft 25lb fluorocarbon leader or 3ft lead core if the rules allow. Otherwise strong mono .40+ straight through.

If you are fishing on the clean area past the weed you should be able to use a leadclip but make sure the lead can eject easily. Another option would be a helisafe/C-clip.

I found the knot with armacord in 50lb quite big. I switched to the ESP Shockleader in 35lb. It's also much cheaper and comes in a 25m spool compared to the Korda 20m spool.

Mouthtrap for me. the 25lb holds its sharpe better than the 20lb.
