Been a member of this Forum for Years, as is often the way with hobbies I have drifted in and out of Carp fishing and in turn this forum.

Found my Carp Fishing spark again after my young son has shown an interest.

Logged in today to see this sad news.

I didn't know Old Geezer personally at all but he was the backbone of this forum.

R.I.P

Bought one of these with the extension.

Put it up in the garden and first impressions are:
Great shape
Great feel on material
Material is a little shiney for my liking
Ground sheet could be thicker
Nice weight
Easy to set up and pack away
Poles are a little bit difficult to take apart

Overall I'm very impressed out on the bank for three nights in it soon

Lads are still fishing it so must be something in there

Not fished it but had a look round in the Autumn and it looks like a nice place to fish...

However, I've heard that it had a real issue with otters, nothing of any real size to go at. Very Shallow.

Worth a punt, but wouldn't get hopes up. I was thinking of joining but didn't in the end.

Let us know how you get on if you do join

Thought about that but it's another knot to fail. The Braided Leader is 37mm which is as thick as some monos, albeit a different material.

That's the plan, my only concern is the bead that stops the rig flying too far up the line not getting enough/too much grip on the braided leader. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Hi all,

What in your opinion is the best helicopter setup when using a Braided ShockLeader as opposed to Leadcore?

Would I be better looking at using a naked kit?

Using 50lb Braided leader with a diameter of 0.37

Cheers

Cheers for replies.

I could have joined Lymm and was close to. Thy still had places left

Decided in the end to join Warrington for the year. Mainly as I live close to the Mount and I like the idea of giving Sandiway a bash.

It's also cheap, if I don't like any of the waters it's no big loss.

Looking forward to getting started 😃

Pulled the trigger and joined Warrington.

Not expensive so nothing to lose
