Really does seem like a shame that the RP2 doesn't have that. The only change they needed to make to the RP1 was to make the arms extendable, and to sell an optional central bar extender. Then it would still pack away into the same footprint but you could adjust the splay/spacing of the rods as needed and have a bit more length on the pod to play with when needed.

I use the two rod scope bag, with single skins for third rod, spod and floater. The two rod bag carries two rods internally, plus a net a sling, and then you can attach a further two rod skins to it. The floater rod I keep separate. Works for me.

The transporter is pretty bulky, personally prefer to keep tackle in a separate bag.

Do people think these smoke liquids work principally visually or through scent?

Lake I'm fishing is very silty, not sure if adding more clouding to the water will have any useful effect.

Currently I glug and dust DNA baits with their other liquids and powders. Been using bug but have also stocked up on SLK as wanted to give a fish meal bait a go in the summer.

Have the Frontier X+ with the inner dome and it's really good. Find with the inner dome that I don't need a wrap with it in winter and really handy for keeping the bugs out in summer.

Depends what particle you're using, but if you're using something fine like hemp it can get messy because the particle comes back through the holes.

I use Krank.

Avoid Kamakura. They come back bent every time.

None of them have solid pouches, so I wouldn't recommend any of them for particle.

Thanks all.

This is basically the exact same situ I'll have. Do you have more success with bottom baits, bright pop-ups, regular pop-ups, wafters? My typical all situation approach is to fish heli (Ronnie) with a bright pop-up over a good scattering of glugged and dusted boilies.

Would you guys change bait colour depending on the bottom?

For 2024 will be fishing mainly a lake with a pure silt bottom. Wondering if the rather dark brown DNA Bug I usually use will rather vanish against the dark silt bottom and if I should consider a lighter coloured bait (was thinking of SLK).

Do you change bait and colour in this situ to contrast with the bottom?

It's all personal, but I find weight more important than size when it comes to balancing rod and reels.
