Christ... thought today wrote that for a minute

I highly recommend the summit tackle bobbins, superbly engineered and look great...

I also like the matrix neos

When using a throwing stick cast a spod out with bright yellow braid and the gulls don't take your bait

Esp trigg hammers are excellent as are the slammer..
I also use avid choddies for bottom bait fishing with stiff materials, most avid stuff is junk but those choddies are very sharp and very strong.
I've also been a big fan of fox ssc over the years.

Csl or mollasses

Absolutely definitely not for the better... i do most of my fishing in the week while it's relatively quiet.

Carp fishing in the UK just isn't as exciting anymore unfortunately

I've got a set of 3 century 12ft 3.5lb. a set 3...10ft...3lb that i use on my current water as there isn't any really long distance fishing... and 3 9ft retractables in 3lb that my son likes to use

If the ESP ones are doing what you want them to do then went do you need anything else?

Yeah that's through insurance emporium... it's the one I use

I use ridgemonkey RM-Tec clear in 12lb on my spare spools...I do prefer the brown but so far the clear has been pretty good, it's limp and pretty heavy so sinks nicely.
I used to use esp crystal but I found that to be a fairly stiff mono and took a few trips to really start to behave...

Good luck
