Exactly what I am interested in but its basically a short term tactic as they wont keep for long. We have specially formulated pellets here in Germany that keep their shape for roughly 48 hours. But even they wont last a night securely on the hair if nuisance fish are around. So its definitely effective and cost effective but not for overnight sessions really.

Extremely hard to find. Had to wait a long time till one popped up second hand. Had to pay premium. Found out the seller did not send the fixtures that attach to the 100T. He never replied to my inquiries for them so I had to look a long time to locate these as well. For a premium...

There were other options available but all of them are sold out as well.

I wrote Trakker but they didnt reply. I dont understand why they would not produce a further batch for an obviously succcessful tent. Should be financially attractive enough.

Got 3200m of Carp spirit sinking braid made by Sufix. Best braid I have ever had and not sure if they made a mistake with the price on Amazon but it cost me only 45 Euros.
So it pays to have a look out for that from time to time. You might get as lucky as me.

Are you sure?
Or do you mean that it can be expended in the length?
Couldnt find anything to extend the width.

Might need to have a better look at it but so far I couldnt see any kind of extension possibility. But thanks for sharing the information!

Just bought a used Nash Evo Power Barrow model 2022.
To my surprise I cannot fit my Nash indulgence bedchair onto it when the sides are up. The barrow is just not wide enough.

My old Fox trolley had adjustable sides so you could extend them to fit your bedchair.
Not so with the Evo trolley which I find a bit strange.
Do people just fold the side bits down and put the bedchair on top and strap everything down?

I already thought about doing extendable sides myself. Shouldnt be too much of a problem.

Thank you and have a great season hopefully after all that heat!

we used sea/beach fishing tactics in France 30 years ago to good effect. On big waters and long range it was a huge difference if you used these plastic wings in front of long wing leads. The leads would raise to the top within a few metres when winding in and tangles in tree stumps or weed were very effectively avoided. Worked also well on big rivers so as not to get stuck in the rocks close to shore.

Casting was also improved with these bait clips so the leader was streamlined nicely along the leadcore or whatever one would use.

bank stick with ball joint smartphone adapter and a cheap amazon or Ali LED construction light (cheap but very bright, also packs away nicely compared to the Rhino cubes) also set on a bank stick slightly to the side of the camera pointing towards the action.

Good enough results even when pitch black.

I then shoot a video holding the fish up and take out the single frames that are best as photos.

Works good enough. Not professional quality but good results.
Much needed as I only do overnighters and as usual fish only bite at night.

Isotopes are the only way to go IMHO.
Would be great if someone made something like the Solar again but with all the restrictions in importing batteries nowadays its probably not an economical option for the brands.

The replacements that you have to light on with a UV-light will be all but invisible within an hour our two.
The only exception being Defiants Fluoro glow mags that last at least half a night.

Only had the old Delkims with the 1st and 2nd series of sensors.

What I found out was that you have to place a rod guide about 5-15cm in front of the indicator (aka towards the water) as otherwise the sensor wouldnt pick up the line vibrations properly and slow drop backs etc. wouldnt register. Worked really well, when you place a rod guide in front of the indicator.

That was more than 30 years ago so not sure if this would help in indication nowadays with the new models as well?

I see it more often in Youtube videos about English waters that they are a deep blue colour. At first I thought this is some kind of weird video editing to make the water look more interesting but searching through here I see some older post mentioning its use for algae control.

This baffles me as I have never seen this anywhere here on the continent being done so I wonder - as the post about dyed lakes are older - is that something that has gotten more common in the UK compared to a few years ago?

Do you know paylakes in Central Europe that do it or is it UK only?

Is there a restriction as to which waters benefit from it and size wise? I would guess its quite cost intensive to dye a big gravel pit deep blue...
