Anyone use a fish meal right through the winter ? I normally switch over to Oxford carp baits mc nut for my winter fishing which has been great for me, but thinking of mixing it with dna s7 for this winter which I’ve had a great summer and autumn on. Anyone use a fish meal right the way through ?

I got told whiteheads was a syndicate now. Can you just go on and fish for free mate ?

I’ve fished this lake myself and unfortunately the otters have taken pretty much everything carp wise. I went last year a lot and seen 2 carp and one of them ended up being found half eaten. River runs right next to it all the lakes around there, island and field too have been decimated by the otters. None are fenced it’s easy pickings for them. My mate runs a syndicate exactly what you’re after but it’s £300 for the year. If your interested message me 👍

I could go onto a tapered mono if I wanted to. It’s only braid and braided shock leaders that are banned. As I was saying I think I’m pushing the rod to the limit so want abit more power. But then I’d probably use a tapered mono. I haven’t done much real distance fishing over say 110 yards. Most of the lakes I’ve fished have been 90 yards maximum that’s why I’ve never needed bigger rods.

Just mono. I use 0.38. It’s weedy so need decent line on. There is a braid ban on the lake I fish. I use a 3oz lead in the bags so around 4.5 ounces when tied up. I just want a little extra power I feel like I’m topping the 3.25 out around 95/100 yards. I’d like another 10/15 yards But I don’t want a proper poker either maybe I want something that doesn’t exist 🤣 I think I’m going to go with the te. If no better then go down the 12.6/13ft aviator route.

Looking at getting some new rods. I’m wanting something with a little more power than the 3.25 torrix for a little more distance and for fishing with solid bags. I don’t want a broom handle, but obviously needs to be powerful enough to fish with solid bags over 100 yards. Any recommendations ? Been looking at 12ft torrix te’s, but get mixed reviews of being too stiff, my mate has 3.5 torrix which are more powerful than the te ans he loves them.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
