Yeah I used the fox supabrolly for years and it was brilliant! Had a Nash brolly before which was great and cheaper.

I have only fished days for the last 10-15 years and on used the brolly type shelters and they are perfect for the days only. Up and down super quick and easy to pack away. I now have nights included on my ticket now and purchased the tracker brolly you have mentioned and it’s awesome for quick nights that I do, however it’s a bit of an over kill if you are just doing days. Personally I would recommend a smaller shelter if it’s just to cover yourself, a chair and a rucksack/luggage.

Cheers lads, like I said I’ve never fished a lake with crays before so didn’t know if a certain bait attracted or deterred them. I’m thinking of hemp and corn for 2 rods with plastic corn on for safety and then another spot and just fish boilies

Firstly has anyone fished hunts corner recently? I’ve never been to linear but am booked on with a friend in pegs 5&6 middle of November. From what I’ve read the crays can be a nightmare . I’ve never fished a lake with crays, any advice on avoiding them, certain baits ect. Plastic hookbaits will be used if they are bad.

Oh really? Just a lot less movement I suppose? I need to just tie 1 up and fish them side by side like a previous comment recommended 👍🏻

Yeah it definitely would limit the vertical movement, to me that doesn’t overly bother me as I fish it straight through on fluorocarbon so in my head that would fly up easier than if on leadcore/leader. I was just thinking it might look and sit a little neater. I just couldn’t find any pictures or articles without it being on a ring swivel

Does anyone ever fish these reservoirs? My grandad used to take me 30 years ago to feeder fish for bream. I have just listened to a thinking tackle podcast and the guest mentions his time on there and shows some pictures of some absolutely stunning fish from the startops pit. 😳

Cheers dude, yeah I was thinking you would loose a bit of movement if you do actually fish them in the Chod. 1 of those things that work in your head and would probably look great in the margin just not as practical as the tried and tested method 👍
