That looks the biz - thanks for the post - are you willing to share the dealer? Maybe in the market for a boat after the lockdown (even if it's just to row into the sunset!)

I don't wether its me but I always use 10lb sensor mono with a 50lb armacord leader about (25 ft) - the stress only comes on the cast with Spodding and i much prefer casting with mono rarely have any probs - use braid on the marker because of the transmission to the rod!

Was interested to read your comments - love this period of Carp fishing history and am currently re-reading Pete Springates book Carp side of the Moon - reading his chronology Yeoveney was drained down in the close season of 1978 they netted it three or four times with the majority of the fish going into Longfield (including the two fish in the famous brace pic of Pete that ended up in Carp Fever) and eventually about 15 fish into Wraysbury - in the book Pete says towards the end of the ‘78 close season him and Kenny netted the last 2 fish from a muddy puddle in the drained Yeoveney and slipped them into Wraysbury they were 2 mirrors about 14lb each. As said previously don't think Pete had access to redmire until early 1980's So not saying fish did not move but they weren't from Yeoveney
