Forget the rest, get the best. Century C2 SP in 13ft 3.75TC are just superb. I can chuck to the horizon with no leader. Or drop a bag in the margins. Play fish all day with zero hook pulls. They really are the best I've owned and I've been angling for 55 years.

Your lenses work with an adapter. And you should get full AF.

'I'm a total novice when it comes to camera usage, but my iPhone 16 Pro just isn't cutting the mustard with picture quality, particularly at night.'

Your iPhone will have enough resolution to rival most pocket cameras. Most small sensors are also streets ahead in software and interpolation. Especially iPhones, I have seen plenty of superb images taken with these phones.

What you need are just a couple of LED panels that you can pick up from Temu for under £20, and they are completely controllable in terms of warm/cool light. You already have a great camera, just pair it with these panels and job done. You can thank me later. I use my phone and I have shot 1000's of weddings professionally with my Sony A1. You really dont need the bulk, LED panels are small and pack a real punch at night.

This is when I get on the rivers for barbel and chub. Carp will kick off in April/May.

How long have you had the receiver, and how old is the battery?

I'm slightly annoyed that after many weeks of new batteries going into this receiver, I've come to the conclusion it's faulty. It's chewing through batteries in a couple of weeks. I've turned off vibrate. This is the V2 by the way. I know delkim will sort this. But over £500 on alarms you would have thought QC or something would have picked up on this. I now have the ball ache of sending this back and waiting for the return etc.


Anyone else had this issue on the V2?

Give em a bait they really want, you'd catch on a bent pin.

I'm sure he won't be losing any sleep over the opinions of a few on a forum that's seen better days. You also forget what this guy does with children's charities. He donates a lot to many good causes. Sounds like sour grapes a lot of this.
