Is that the Decend braid?
Where is that offer?

Has anyone used any cheap braided mainline that they can recommend?
I need about 2000m and have looked on Amazon at various brands but would rather a recommendation.
Neutral buoyancy would be helpful and I would prefer not to have tow rope although I will be using a boat.
I have just removed 30lb whiplash from my reels which was good and lasted ages so I will buy that again if needed but there are some other braids which are a hell of a lot cheaper than that.

Thanks all 👍

Off to France in sept to fish a couple of rivers. We normally take CC Moore live system but use different hook baits. We really don’t want to spend that sort of money to just throw them in the river.
Any recommendations on a feed boilie?
I have seen Munch Baits on social media but a quick search on here didn’t rate them too much and I still want the freebies to be of a half decent quality.

Any help appreciated 👍

Thanks all 👍

Not been on for ages as I have been out of the game for easily 5 years now!

So……..I still carp fish in France but not in the uk which means I have kept what kit I have and not kept up to date with what’s what.

I have a few shelters. A tempest brolly 150 (think that’s what it’s called!) and a trakker V2.

I need to replace the V2. It stinks 😷 and all the tape is coming away from the inside. I really like the bivvy but replacing it would be over 1k which for 2-3 trips a year is too much. I also have so much more kit to replace as the mice have been through the whole lot!

Are there any cheaper brands that you guys can recommend? I am a taller man so need some height and I would prefer the bivvy to be more of a 1.5 man that compact style.
I may just have to bite the bullet and go with trakker but I really don’t see how they can now charge that sort of money.
Maybe I’m too far behind the times!

I have been hearing this more and more lately. Unfortunately it's not just the carp fishing that seems to have gone downhill.
To be fair, I wouldn't night fish for the barbel anyway. Thanks for the info 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Anyone fished this section of the Trent? Above the weir I believe there is a day ticket section?
Looking for different places to fish for barbel that sell day tickets.

Any info appreciated 👍
