I have been using Bug for 18 months and doing really well on it but A mate sold all his tackle because of health reasons and he had 12kg of Manilla in his freezer and he offered it to me plus hook baits and liquids at friends price so I went for it to use in in our club lakes, first time out I put a kilo of 15mm out plus some that had gone through the crusher along with some cloudy Manilla, 20 minutes later 25.12 sitting in the net and tbh I have caught on it every time out but have not tried it on the harder lakes but when I go on one of those lakes I will give it a go

Have any of you had any dealings with Corus ? I purchased a complete brolly system last November for my nephew, I am 72 and my nephew is disabled, I purchased it it in November for an Xmas gift for him but he has only used it a few times, he went for a days fishing and when he pushed the pole up to open up the brolly the wire that holds the whole thing to the boss the broke and the whole thing fell apart, after many many attempts to get it repaired Corus are totally ignoring us, I have tried many times to phone them but they put me on hold then cut me off,
It cost me £200 but I cannot afford to buy him another one and he cannot go fishing without one unless it is sunny and dry, I know it was purchased last November it is still under warranty but the service I got from them is disgusting, I know I cannot ask for a new one and I have asked if it can be repaired but I am just getting ignored at every attempt, any ideas what I can do ??

A few years ago I did a lot of shooting and I fed my two Springers on nothing more than Vitalin but when I started having a problem getting hold of it I started using "Wilsons" flake food which is identical apart from a couple more ingredients added, don`t know if this is still available but if it is jump on it, its very good

Years ago when I used to roll my own bait I used to buy a liquid from Harefield Tackle called “Meatmax” they used to send it to me if I was not in the area, brilliant stuff and a brilliant shop and friendly staff

I don't use CC Moore bait but I always have some Amino 365 with me, a trickle into my pva bag has caught me fish but since the Calanus liquid came out I have done well with that, oils, I have been playing around with Ourons Sardine oil and been very impressed with it, very strong fishy smell and some oils flatten the water, this stuff keeps hitting the surface I should imagine every time the bait/spod mix or bag is disturbed

I don't know how many people seen the video which showed DaVe Lane cast a distance using braid and he measured it by wraps then casted the same amount of wraps with mono, the lead sailed way past the marker he put up with the braid, I must admit that when I lead around I use my spod rod loaded with braid and I then realised my fishing rod was going nowhere near the spot, yes I always pull back when the lead hits the water but if the spot is shallow you just can't pull back, now if I find the water is shallow I set my fishing rod 1 1/2 wraps shorter but I still wonder if my rig is hitting the spot

I am not a tackle tart and I find nothing wrong with the design of Fox alarms, they do what it says on the can, that's good enough for me

Getting away from Berkeley, I have used Gold label Pro-Clear for years but it became unavailable so I turned to Thinking Anglers OGX and tbh it's been brilliant and I would go as far as saying its better than Pro-Clear, it ticks all the boxes

I had a set of NTXr alarms for four years and they never missed a beat, got up Xmas morning to unpack some pressies only to find my son had brought me a set of Delkim TXI-D alarms, I swore that I would never use Delkim alarms again but as they where brought for me I had to bite the bullet and use them, I passed my NTXr alarms to my grandson l, though I have not had any problems with the Delks I just don't like them, they are just to much of a gadget and I still have no idea how to use the various settings so I just use the volume and sensitivity buttons, what I would give to go back to Fox

We need someone to make a decent boilie crusher, Ridgemonky have had no stock for months and they are not expected to be in the shops until the middle of August
