I've put my ESP net into storage since I've owned the Springbow. So light but with a solid feel to it , easy to manoeuvre and the arms are always easy to break down. As mentioned before the mesh it comes with is far too deep IMO but other than that it's been perfect. The ESP net is also a fantastic net but for me the springbow is superior .

Thanks for the different suggestions guys ,some decent bits of kit there. Will probably buy the carp sounder ones as they have certain features I'm looking for and you can buy them through Pecheur at a very affordable price 👍

Hi guys , I've just sent my third TXI D back for repair and have decided that's enough of the Delkims for me now . I'm really out of the loop with carp fishing gear nowadays and was wondering what alarms people are using for reliability, quality and performance. Cost isn't really a factor just want something that's works well. Thanks

I've always hated mono and preferred either braid or fluorocarbon . However a friend introduced me to Katran camo carp line and it's been brilliant. Like braid it has no memory so doesn't need straightening all the time like fluoro and has very little stretch. It sinks as fast as the heaviest fluoros that I've used too. It casts really well and the abrasion resistance is very good so far.

Had TXI's for 10 years without a problem including the receiver, unfortunately my TXD's have been terrible, constantly going wrong in the rain 🤷‍♂️. Would personally stick with the TXI's now if I had the choice.

Sinks well and casts well and I liked the colour break up of it . Suffered with abrasion issues with it though which surprised me as Avid usually turn out decent gear. Changed to the thinking anglers stuff now .

I use Bank tackles version , does the job and really fast delivery . Few colours to choose from too.

I think that's a good deal. It's definitely not the same bait I was buying originally from Baitcraft however it's been out fishing the Mainline I've been fishing it against this winter and the pop ups and wafters are all good quality. The cow cola seems to be the same as the original.

I use a deeper pro 2 on a bracket just behind my bait boat. I've had it up to 100yds without the need for a signal booster etc . I'm not interested in the fish finding side of it just the depths and weed which it shows perfectly, combined with braided mainline I'm always 95% sure I'm presenting a bait effectively, which I could never be when casting. Can't comment on the lucky fishfinders as I've never used one but I think anything from the deeper stable is sufficient enough and a tablet will be easily sourced off that auction site.

Korda will distribute all of Mainlines products from February 1st , I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing for the tackle shops looking at how much Korda ask them to stock of their tackle.
