Been using NGT tip and butt protectors for a few years. They do the job!

Nope, never got to the bottom of this. I turn up my heads as well as the receiver now, which I would really prefer not to do. Interesting to hear of one or two others experiencing this though....

Volvo V70 before Ford got hold of them. Huge rear space and my 2.4D still does 55 to the gallon.

I believe Wasing have opened their waiting list on Rowneys, which is a big pit south of Reading and a real challenge, if that's what you are after.....very few/no spaces on their other syndicates.

No, i use them on "night light" so visually assumed they were working at that point.
I've had them on for 72 hours now and no drop outs, so who knows what's going on.

Hey all
Lost a fish on a particularly hard water Friday night because my RX+ remote didnt sound. When I woke and realised what had happened, the fish was long gone. Normally, I turn my heads right down and just use the remote....which seemed to lose connection with the heads. A quick "off and on again" of the remote seems to have sorted it out, but I wondered if anyone else has experienced this? Not very reassuring in case it happens again, so I will turn the heads up too as a back up - but would prefer not to have to.
Any advice?
Cheers
Chris

Going back a few years SCAC used to be a VERY cheap ticket for the waters they had. Definitely worth a look.

Fox Easy Dome Maxi. They made the 5 rib easy dome slightly bigger and I have used both versions. Definitely like the speed with which this goes up and it comes with integral groundsheet/mozzie innard which stops all matter of creepy crawlies.

Not sure about XXL, but Hinders sell XL Tigers and I find the quality very good.

Aqua Products do a good wader bag which is designed to allow the waders to dry whilst still in the bag (they probably all do, to be fair).
Had this bag a year or two now and no troubles.
