Signed already, glad to see so many engaged with this campaign Alex.
I find it very hard to believe that wildlife havens like Cannop Ponds could be at risk in this day and age.

Thread: Rigmarole braided tubing

Been using it for a few years. Never had problems with regards to rule contravention using it, even where braid is banned. Sinks very well, extremely camouflaged as it picks up silt nicely and threads really easily.I find it especially good in the Crayfish infested waters I fish. Crays demolish tungsten tubing in no time, but the Rigmarole tubing totally resists their best efforts. The only downside is that the inner coiled wire (bit like a net curtain cable) is made of stainless steel. Should you crack off and not be able to recover the lost line, the outer fabric of the tubing will over time rot exposing the wire. I've heard of an instance of this wire being wrapped round a swan and causing severe injuries unfortunately.

Can't recommend Defiant MPS “Scorpion” indicators highly enough, fantastic bits of kit. I use mine in conjunction with Keith's 32x20mm flouro heads.

Thread: Neewer version of Rhino Beam

I have my Rhino Beam mounted on a bankstick near my dSLR on a tripod with a remote release - the dSLR setup with a 10 second delay timer and using the built in flash.
Whilst I wouldn't rely it on the Rhino Beam soley for light, it does give a nice bit of fill-in, stops red-eye, and throws plenty of light on the subject for manoeuvring the fish about in the dark.

I've ordered a few now from the same supplier on Wish. I've noticed thst the design and quality of the Spomb copies vary, even in the same colour. The best ones come with sealed in hinge/spring mech, a tough stainless clip and half decent roller type swivel. The others just have a bit of bent soft wire, nasty cheap swivel and the hinge mechanism is able to slide out. Easy enough to rectify, but I think this might explain the varied reliability experiences.
