Guys and Girls
I am in need of some mono as a couple of my local lakes have banned braid.
Previously I used ESP Syncro and would again but have heard that it's recently changed and not for the better?
Can anyone confirm this and if so recommend an alternative. I was thinking TA OGX but happy to take opinions.
Cheers

Has anybody got any experience of the newer Wychwood Maximiser rods, in particular the 12'9 version
All I can seem to find online is a couple of carpology videos with not much of a review.

Has anyone seen or taken a punt on these.
I know looks don't necessarily mean the internals are the same however Fox are notorious for relabling things from china, the cookware being the prime example.

Thread: A Carpy Connection

Afternoon all,
I came across a firm called A Carpy Connection on ebay while looking for sinking braided Mainline.
Has anybody used them? Specifically the sinking braid?
The reason I ask is that I want to give braided mainline a go and rather than lump out mega bucks on the likes of TA or Korda thought this may be worth a go first or can anyone recommend other braids to look at.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll take a punt on the galvanised bins.

They look quite good to be fair. Heavier duty than a standard bucket.
Maybe some extra traps too will do the trick

How do you all store your dry particle keeping it away from rats/mice and the like.
I've recently had issues in the garage with rats chewing through plastic buckets to get at some of Tails Up's finest and about to order some bulk particle.
Was thinking metal dustbins but wondering if you guys can give me a better idea.

Just received a load from Joe at Leads 4 Less. Really good quality and very reasonable prices.

Thanks for the replies. I've already been in contact with them and they were pretty helpful.
I was more hoping to hear the experiences of those that have fished there or are fishing there.

Afternoon all,
Does anyone have any info regarding Admirals Walk in the Lee Valley?
It's only 10 minutes down the road from me and being pretty restricted on time I thought it might be a good option to drop in for a few hours when the kids are at school.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. PMs welcome if people prefer.
