I was swaying towards the Korda Medium then read reviews on how the elastic keeps coming off the frame.

Any recommendations for a decent catty for firing a pouch full of dog biscuits?

Thanks

Are any of you still gluing your hookbaits onto a hook or is this a thing of the past now?

Had a really frustrating day yesterday where the fish were in front of me and I just could'nt get one to take my hook bait.

No one seems to have any soft hookable baits in stock anymore and pop ups just seem too buoyant and the fish wont take them. Tried all the imitation dog biscuits going with little success.

Advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for that. What mainline are you using with it?

want to spool up 2 reels for fishing solid bags at 100 yrds, Braid not allowed.

What diameter line should I use to fill the spools and will I then need a stronger mono shock leader attached to it?

I weighed my bags and they are approx 4.5oz

Thinking of buying a pair of Daiwa 21 Crosscast 45 reels. Currently £119 each.

Are these reels any good or are there better alternatives for the money?
Thanks,

Would 0.35 be an 18lb line? My reel is a Sonik SK47 which I believe is a 7000 size.
Would I be able to cast a 3.5oz lead that distance from the 0.35 line without the need for a shock leader?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
