Hi

How do you find the 4lb for playing fish close in?

I mainly fish pva bags and managed to shear the tip off of one of my Nash Pursuit 3.5lb. But I always found them a bit soft. So considering three of the 4lb12ft Greens as a replacement and will sell the two undamaged pursuits I have left.

Thanks

Ashley

I'd avoid the Nash as it's heavy and a bit of a faff as you mentioned. I have a T1 and I'm looking to replace it with something tall and light as my back's knackered 😂 Probably from lugging the T1!

I bought a bundle deal over the August bank holiday. 10kg shelf life, mix of OG fish and nut.

I took it to Cottington and had two PBs a 30lb common then 39.3 mirror.

It certainly worked. I bought shelf life. It smelt good. It came dusted a bit like sticky's active baits. But it wasn't a crust - more like it had been dusted and left to dry. It was quite soft - not quite paste but was easily squashed - not crushed. Could be cos they're steamed not boiled.

Comes conveniently packed in 1kg bags.

I also got a sauce liquid food, 1kg 2mm pellets, fruity flat spot oil, magic dust powder and the OG Nut Hard hookers. The hookbaits kept their smell after 24 hours in the water.

I can't offer a full review from one use, but it's certainly encouraged me to continue with it.

I recently bought the 20kg deal in 12mm. Took 5kg of each flavour.

The bait turned up quick, 48 hours after order. The included liquid food was pungent and dissolved well in the water. The pop ups are bouyant and held a Ronnie up for over 24 hours. The wafters were perfectly balanced on a size 6 hook.

All the baits were soft, easy to crumb but solid enough to use in a stick or catapult. They all smell amazing, but the fish meals stuck out, particularly the Asbo. The smell of peperami is immense. They have a decent texture and contain some seeds.

Also got some wicked white pellet. They're mixed size and go well in pva bags. They smell good, pack down well and aren't too dusty.

I've caught on all four flavours - nothing massive. Biggest 20lb 4oz. I've used around a kilo of each bait, so not a long term test.

I'll definitely order again.

I take a 28cm frying pan and 16cm saucepan that I picked up from Asda. They're a bit bulky, but fit nicely in my bag.

I use crocs when it's dry. Otherwise it's trainers or a pair of Nash waterproof boots.

I wear my headtorch (Nitecore NC65) and glasses so I don't have to hunt for them when the buzzer goes off. I sleep on my back and don't even notice them.

I just joined a tree lined lake that needs small rods as they've chosen not to do any cutting back, etc. got 2 sonik xtractors, with matching reels and bags on Facebook market place for £100. There are bargains to be had!
