Fish caught with a bait boat or the aid of a drone don't count, simple as that. It's cheating and they should be banned from all waters. This includes your celebrity anglers that have caught fish using an electric boat toy, don't count....sorry.

If you can't cast - learn how to.

As for Laney, I've seen him using bait boats on waters so not sure what he is banging on about "do what I say, don't do what I do"....

Have a nice day,

I've got one mate - the wheel and motor are fairly heavy to lift into the van, you'll have to piss about stripping it down and also the battery which weighs a bit. I invested in a short motorbike ramp, works a treat.

My advice mate - have a look at the TH rig using the ESP semi stuff. Easy to tie and ultra effective, get the hook to lye flat on the deck with wafters or use it snowman style which is ultra effective......play around it and use a slip D rather than ring up and down the shank. Korda Wide gap in a size 6...you wont go wrong.

It's all you need...

Thats the one Kells - a very odd smell and one i have not encountered since in a bait. Devastating gear back in the day, used to get it from some of the Kent lads and spoke to the late PF about it. He mentioned that it had changed beyond recognition since him and the Kent boys built the bait and ingredients were not available to get or too expensive post Brexit..e.t.c. They couldnt get the Jap squid meal nor amino Squid and Octopus flavours which basically was the backbone of the bait.

Cracking bait and would be back on that in a flash if the original Club Mix came out.

Changed my concept of the importance of using quality bait when i was shown the Club Mix, you would literally drop one in the edge and see the shrimps and snails actively homing in on it from a radius of about 2 foot...madness to actually witness it.

What a bait back in the day - absolutely loved this gear, took waters apart.

I know that the firm changed hands however, any of the old skool guys still using the Club Mix and is it massively different from the original. I've been told it's nothing like it used to be...

Would love to get hold of the original stuff or even the original recipe.
