I fished my favourite France venue late august 2020 for the 1st time. Setup the swim and opened a 2.5l tub of tiger nuts. No word of a lie I was swarmed by 50+ wasps. I spent the majority of that week in my bivvy with my tigernuts wrapped in a black bag.

I put some of the tigernut juice in a make shift bottle wasp trap and caught hundreds of them

I told my mate in the Netherlands who recently took up fishing that his latest catch could well be a leather carp. Was I talking ship?

Last year I purchased a spod rod (Free Spirit CTX) and I am having an issue with it.

When I swing back the spomb behind my head and cast, its sending an almighty Ping down the rod unless I twist the rod so the braid sits correctly in the tip.

Its annoying because I can keep momentum when I swing back before the cast. Has anyone else had this issue?

I feel your pain. I was due to go on the 29th. Obviously now cancelled. This was a holiday that was gifted to me aswel apart of a group, absolutely gutted but not overly surprised by this generations politicians

Im wanting to replace my standard fox butt rests because they dont grip my new rods and slide forward easy when on the pod.

Can anyone recommend me a but rest which will grip my rod well, I am using Shimano TX2's
