Its a great shop. Always really helpful. I see youre west midlands based, so may be worth trying tackle tavern as well as that may save you a bit of travelling time

Im in the same situation. 1 bed flat with no external areas. Nets etc i just chuck in the shower, rinse off and hang above to dry. Not ideal but its the only way and better than not fishing. They onky really smell when they are wet and dont take long to dry. Thrn they go in stink bags.

Keep an eye on amazon for deals on the anker solix range, i got a solix c200 with solar panel for £150 a few months back. Its currently on there for £179. The order also come direct from anker who have been spot on every time ive used them

Size wise, its about the size of a 1 litre bottle of water

Its the 40lb i have on. Did you soak it in warm water before loading it? Ive read since that that helps remove the coating, but i got johnson ross to spool mine in store so it obviously wasnt soaked

I have to agree with this about the sbx. Ive read that there is a coating on it, which i wasnt aware of at the time of buying, so need to try and clean that off somehow bext time im out with it. Thickness doesnt bother me, as i knew about it before i bought it, and the lake i use it on is not long range, but the sinking on it, as it stands is not very good, more like neutral buoyancy if anything

I use mp lead shed normally. But got my last lot from omc. They had an offer on with free postage so didnt cost me anymore than getting them from mp leadshed, and i didn't have to pick them up. Im not an omc or ali hamidi fan fyi, far from it, was purely a price and convenience thing, but they seem pretty decent so far. Not sure if the offers are regular but worth keeping an eye on. Otherwise, MP Leadshed is my go to. Never had any issues with them.

I emailed korda na d they have replied.

New suppliers after the previous one went bust without notice. Apparently the new stuff is different in colour, a bit thinner, and only available in weed green and gravel brown

I use the solar p1 anti twist drop in sticks with bazzbars, they dont seem to make them anymore so obviously wasnt a popular design, no idea why though, as they work really well, no issues with any twist. And really easy to set up.
