Any recommendations on 2 alarms and a reciever?
I like the nash siren s5 but I do like alarms with snag ears.

I did think that to be honest, I have been fishing a few years but all the tackle does the same job to me obviously quality xomes into it but I don't want to turn up to a well known venue and be turned away because of my tackle ( I do suffer with anxiety and this would make me bin my gear )
I enjoy being on the bank just looking to upgrade what's necessary not looking for the next best thing etc.
I do appreciated everyone's advice

When we were fishing I was struggling to reach some overhanging trees about 100 yards out he said I wouldn't have much line left to play the carp if it pulled away, I think I'm going to look at big pit reels for this reason. I don't think k I have any reason for new rods so I will be keeping the same. I have decided to look for some alarms and reciever for the night sessions I plan on doing, any recommendations? Not wanting to spend a fortune but something 2nd hand and reliable will do me well.

Thank you for all your advice so far I do appreciate it

Hi bud it's in the 1st post I currently have the total carp rods and reels, currently fishing different venues at the minute but some reservoirs and open water

I think I will keep my rods for a while but they did say I may need bigger reels as the bigger fish can sometimes scream off and I wouldn't want to run low on line, I'm not a tackle tart or anything I just don't want to turn up on a bigger venue and have a rod snap, line run out etc
I haven't done any nightfishing yet but I do have a bivvy and bechair, think I will invest in another alarm set with a reciever just for piece of mind
Trying to get in the 20s club so looking at different venues etc
Thanks for all your advice

They just said look at big pit reels and said the nash s5 alarms and reciever would be decent to buy.

Hi
I have been told by a few mates that I should be looking at upgrading my tackle for bigger carp / night sessions.
I currently have
x2 total carp 12ft 3lb tc rods
x2 total carp reels
x2 alarms no reciever

My mates said to get 3.5tc rods and big pit reels aswell as a set of alarms with reciever for night fishing plus a barrow to male things easier getting to some pegs.
Would you recommend 3.5tc rods or will the 3lb tc rods be ok with big pit reels?
Cheers

Yeah I was thinking the same, I was going to try cc Moore bait but he was trying to convince me I cant use that as I use mainline dissolvas so best to keep to mainline, made no sense to me either.
Thanks lads

Hi
I normally used mainline dissolvas as hook bait and use any type of boilie over the top, this has worked for me for a while but I was speaking to one of my mates and he said I could do with choosing a brand I want and keep with them instead of changing it and buying anything, is this right?
Also he said if I use mainline then I'm best to keep to mainline?

Confused with this as I normally pickup anything similar colour wise
Opinions?
Thanks
