Yeah was thinking I could do that worse case scenario but thought I'd see if I had too as I've seen online that it should be okay but I'm not 100%

Well yeah itll be in the bag and I'm not the kind of angler who brings 15 bags for 15 different things as I prefer to take minimal gear ideally in 1 bag. Maybe I should of made the orginal post a bit clearer as I can see your confusion... I meant to write that the scales are in the same bag as my magnet and as I'm not the type of angler who spreads out gear when on bank or when it's in the garage I wondered if this will effect the scales.
Thanks

I've done a search on google and from what I can see it'll be okay BUT I thought I'd ask on here to double check...
I've recently bought the nash bivvy hook and the magnet is beyond strong, so I wondered if that'll have any adverse effect on my digital scales if stored next to eachother (will be touching I'm sure at some points)? I've got the Ruben ones if it makes a difference

Thread: 30kg Boilies but now what?

It's looking like I'm going to have my French trip cancelled and unfortunately I was a little too prepared (or excited) and purchased all my boilies in winter as they were on special... So, I've got the 30kg of shelf life boilies and 25kg of pellets in my garage and I'm sure the best way to store them for potentially a year? It's not as simple as using them for my ‘normal fishing' as I‘ve also purchased by session boilies at the same time
It's needless to say that I'll be very generous to the fish next time I go fishing to help reduce the accidental stock pile
I've soaked the boilies in oil and coated them in powders for France but seeing that's unlikely to happen I wondered what you're doing to store the baits originally bought for France?
Current situation - They're in air tight black buckets in the garage and it's fairly cold inside.

I've always found shopping on the big stores ebay stores to be cheaper... for example Total Fishing Tackle charge for delivery on there website but it's free on there ebay store. Loads are like this and worth looking at if you want a few small things and dont meet the min spend for free delivery
Not really a discount code but a way go spend less never the less

That's great! You're a life saver
.
I've covered the wraps with a d rig kicker (even though I must admit the top few wraps arent covered but I'm sure it's fine
) I've gone up the shank 4 times which is essentially 8 wraps I suppose - if you wouldn't trust then please let me know.
Honestly thank you!

To be honest the reason I haven't used something like Grinner or a Palomar knot but I need a loop coming out below the hook so I can loop it onto my boom section. I've had a looked at how Korda make theres and it seems like they use super glued but I dont want to do that.

The rigs I tied are carbon copies of the Korda Loops. I want the rigs to be 1 inch and the knot needs to be as close to the hook as I can possibly get it so itll be hidden under the d rig kicker (I worry it'll tangle if I had the knot elsewhere). When I tie any other knot it's very very difficult to get it as close to the hook as I need it where as the overhand loop is perfectly fine to get in right spot time and time again.
Only issue is this isnt a coated braid and its un coated (Korda Dark matter braid) but does still give me a 20lb breaking point

So I guess my question is. Would they be okay? Would you trust them or re-tie the rigs?
