As we know in terms of simplicity they don't come much simplicity then a curve shank pattern tied as a normal knotless knot. This normally crates a nice angle already but would adding the line alinger/ knicker with a curve at the end improve or reduce hooking. I used to use the staight nash kickers on my German rigs but that was few years ago and it seemed to.work well but as there would be a hair this time not sure if the mencanhic would work differently?

Sadly I can't collect as it miles and miles away.

I would be looking at getting a couple kilo 5kg max and and maybe a couple pots hookbait so delivery isn't silly money

Venue I'll using going to doing the close has a tiger nut bait so was looking at using baitworks royal marine on stringers with scent from hells. I only need a couple of kilo to get though the 2 and bit months. But at 10.50 a kilo is it worth it or am I buying for the carpy cult following bait work seems to have like other brands

The standard get out more but as I've recently stopped running it frees up a lot of time and money.

But ideally I'd like to get a few fish out the river. I would day I'd like to get a 20lb but as it my first year I think that is unlikely but it only takes a bite.

3lb perch would be nice too

Get more confidence in lures

Get out with my boy more he turn 3 tommrow and ge out out for 1st trip his year and loved it

Been to my local gladwells today not sure why I havnt been before and grabbed
20kg pigeon conditioner (lot of small bits no whole maize)
15kg of cut maize.
And a bag of groats
Molasses


I've used the logic of very small bits are ok in coolbox. I'll be getting proper boiler as I'll want to cook up whole maize and tigers for eventually

Can people please confirm if my understanding is the correct that the below particles can be prepared via thr coolbox method
Hemp- pigeon conditioner-Groats- Cracked/cut corn

I understand the coolbox method is not ideal but for me is the most time efficient method and sadly I don't have a massive freezer to get large amount of bulk particles ordered

20m max I'd say. I can use a mini spod but think.ii would be there hours

Anyone to advise how far you can throw baits with theese things? I was looking at get bait pole but I don't think that work well for the river.. would be looking at using particles ( hemp or pigeon conditioner with tigers) with some vitalin added to the mix to make sure it drops to the river bed and I'm trying to avoid taking a spod rod.
