These things are self fulfilling. Syndicate syndrome, everyone starts using the same thing then all the fish come out to those methods. 13mm pop ups on spinner rigs are probably used by 90% of anglers now.

Yeah I’ll third the Korda dry core. I know people bang on about never buying clothes from tackle brands but this is actually decent and don’t fit like a bin bag.

Not sure where you are but best way is pop in on a Saturday, I’d give it till after 12 (he shuts at either 2 or 3pm) as he gets busy early morning with people coming in buying bait. Can go through the range he does then.

Yes he does a corkball for each of the baits. He generally keeps stock of 14’s, 16’s, 18’s I believe but will roll you any size you want depending on quantity and how busy he is. You won’t find a better rolled bait, Ken’s forgot more about carp fishing and bait than what most people know.

Tar mate. Luckily enough he is 5 mins from where I live so I'll get in contact. Leaving for France next Friday being the problem. I do have rueben dials so not the end of the world

Yeah first thing I did lol. Also with decent batteries not the cheap Kodak type ones. Prob makes no odds but worth a try.

Left my fox digital scales (new type) for a few months unused and now they constantly flash like when you zero a sling etc. Tried just leaving for a few days with the batteries out in case moisture had got to them, same problem. I do get a r16 flash up when you put the batteries in if that means anything to anyone?. Thanks

How about the old type fox swingers with the sliding weight on an arm?. No false indication in the wind, think the sliding weight is 50g.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
