Thanks for the replies. Swims are very restricted and deep margins so can't wade easily and not able to step into a cast. Currently only managing about 120yds with tapered mono and rig etc. If I could get another 15-20yds it opens up the opportunity to fish a few extra features.
Undoubtedly I can improve my technique but was interested on opinions as to distance improvements with the stiffer rod. Basically looking for a fast fix.

After some opinions on the 13ft Treb lite. Currently using tx2 intensity. Had lesson etc and not seeing much improvement now. Has anyone got experience of the 2 and do you feel there would be much advantage with the trebuchet lite please?

Thanks for the reply. Will take your advice and see how far I can get out with the power pro before compromising for extra distance.

Sorry to jump on your thread. Can I ask what b.s whiplash you guys are happy to go down to please? 20lb looks so thin and I would be concerned of fishing it with any amount of weed present?

Type 192.168.4.101 into your task bar and it should take you to the fish spy software and hopefully connect up (i used an iphone, not sure if that matters).
The app did not work for me but this did.

If it smells anything at all like the times i have tried it you will not want it anywhere near your freezer!
The flies absolutely loved it also. Boiled it up in the garden an it was like a scene from a horror movie

Let's be honest, most syndicates are nothing but pay lakes where the owner/leaseholder runs a water to make a profit. In essence you are paying for the privilege to angle for their fish for a season. Unfortunately this year due to no fault of anyone this hasn't been possible. The principle in my opinion is that members should be reimbursed or offered an extension of time. How many members on here have gym memberships that they would/have happily kept on paying without having access throughout lockdowns? I appreciate that this could ruin some fisheries so the decent thing is to offer a compromise, half the time and reimburse that, either financially or extension of ticket (bet you wouldn't accept that at your gym?).
Carp waters hold people ransom in the knowledge that many members will want to rejoin so won't rock the boat.
My own ‘syndicate' was shut for the first lockdown, often rammed throughout the summer, and is now closed to deter people from breaking the fish local advice. Very interested to hear that there is the possibility they have received a grant also.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
