I tried to use a big spod on my rod, what a poor idea... Give us some feedback when you try those little avid please
-
So in your experience must match the size (or weigh) of the spod/spomb to rod power to prevent tangle?
-
I usually fish in wild waters and I prefer a subtle approach during the sessions. I'll probably use a big spomb for pre-bait, and a tiny one during short sessions
-
Will be my solution for now, i usually don't spod huge amounts of bait while fihsing. In a near future i'll look for a dedicated rod+reel to pre-bait campaigns.

Hi anglers! Today i was looking for a spod set (rod+reel) cause I'm afraid to break my rods when spodding (i'm using 3lb rods), but right now i can't afford a good set. I remember that Gardner has a tiny rocket spod, they say that it weights between 2 or 3 ouces when filled. Anyone using one of those small spods? Thoughts about it?
-
Nice catches! 👏
-
Saw that weigh sling somewhere at £39,99, so thanks for your link I'm Portuguese, living in Portugal. In this case it would be worth the trip to shop and try it in UK

The net i have now is one like that one from the photo. It has near 20 years, is a bit weak and small. Had a big trouble landing a 17lb carp with it. Looking for a new one (or maybe used if can find a good offer), with a fish friendly mesh, and bigger. I'm looking for something affordable, but prefer to pay a bit more for something good that last for a couple of years.

Hello guys. I'm looking for a new landing net. I was using an old from my dad, but in some occasions I had some trouble to free the carp from it (mesh wraps around the dorsal fin). Now I'm looking for a new one that doesn't do the same. Any suggestions? PS.: I'll buy in a near future a weigh sling, looking for recommendations

The best for all of you mates! Let's see those new PBs!
-
Nice christmas carp dayvid!
-
Go get them! I was tempted for a session next Saturday, but it will be not possible due a storm
-
A few pike including a new PB over 20lb

Well done, nice pikes! Never caught one, here in Portugal they just live in a low number of waters. Maybe in January I'll try my first pike on spinning rod! Congrats for your catches -
No carps in December?

https://www.urbanbait.co.uk/latest-news/maggot-fishing-for-carp-in-winter Anyone tryed it?
-
3 hour session today, fish is very active here! 1 carp in the mat is enough! Fingers crossed 😀
-
All said! Now come here little hooks, let's land some carps 😁
-
Thank you all for your opinions and experiences! A great help! Ordered a pack of Gardner Mugga Specialist Sharpened, now i'm waiting for them to try it saturday!
-
Is that recipe a miracle for cough right? My options are a good cup of coffee or tea in cold weather, or a nice fresh beer in summer!
-
In my opinion they look good for multi rig. Using them in Ronnie rig I believe will change the mechanism of the rig because of the position of the eye in the hook
-
That expression sounds so familiar for me
-
My options were Fox Curve Shank, Korda Kurv, or ESP. Read somewhere in the forum that Korda aren't really sharp so excluded. I'll try those ESP size 6 thanks for your help one more time!

About the ronnie, which hook are u using mates? I need to buy some hooks. Any advice about it? Looking for really sharp hooks. Usually i use wide gape for bottom presentations, but now in winter i'll use ronnie or multi rigs with PVA sticks, or inside PVA bags. Which hook would i use for it? I'm using 14mm pop-ups, woyuld i use size 6 hooks?
