I've got 2 . The 1949 IDP that covers Spain , Ireland , Malta or Cyprus and lasts for 1 year . and The 1968 IDP that covers all other E.U. states ( i.e. France ) and lasts 3 years . 😃

Nice chop on the water . Tight lines Highy . 😃

What Mitchells are they Blue ? , and your usual Sharpes ? . 😃

10 years ? . 😃

How long a pole , Blue ? ; and will it be hollow cane ? . 'photos gratefully viewed . 😃

Cheers , Mufty . 👍

As I understand it , a rough rule of thumb is a 1 lb Test curve rod is used to cast a total of 1oz in weight ( which is roughly 30g ) - the 10-30g would be the recommended casting range of your little spinning rod I believe . Personally I would go for a 1 1/2 lb test curve as Nick advises , and then maybe later move on to the stronger rods the others have recommended , the 1 1/2 lb would then be used for floater fishing . 😃

Oh , my Wife's just said don't forget I came 2nd out of 10 ! . 🙄

Many , many years ago I belonged to a gun club , so when my Wife and I tried air rifle shooting at a Warners holiday camp I thought I would be " top gun " - 😭 .

Thanks Buzz . I just guessed that being in the desert there wouldn't be anything . 😀

Can you tell us what your " third hand rod " is please - hopefully it still has a transfer on it which tells you what it is , then hopefully we can work out what test curve it is . 😃

My Wife prefers Vegas , I don't think there's fishing there ☹️ . Eurodisney sounds cool .

My Wife has just pointed out that 20kg is a weight limit for your luggage if you were to take your Wife on holiday - ( or maybe send her off with her friends then you you would be free to fish 🤔 ) . That last bit in brackets is me , not my Wife . 😀

" Calmed down " , or are you whimpering in the corner , treating your wounds after your Wife has given you a right slap for buying so much gear ? . 😁

Very nice Blue . What sort of a bend did the Scottie take ? ; I was thinking of getting a Chapman 550 , but after catching a second Carp on my Scottie I'm beginning to think a Scottie is just what I need for hauling out all these monsters I plan to catch this season 🙄. Oh , did you further upset your Young Apprentice by catching your 20lber on a prawn as he sat there blanking on his boilies ? . 😁

Are the mussel shells in the margins , under water , or on the bank a little above the water level , Elmo ? .

Amazing + 1 😮

Congratulations to you and your Wife , Ginger . 😃

Well glass half full Highy , your Wife would seem to have a keen interest in your fishing exploits , but is that a good thing 🤔 ? .

I'm looking forward to the Smufter review . I've got the Deeper Pro + , and I think I've only used the fish finder once or twice ( just out of interest , honestly ! ) . I find it handy for quickly building up a map of the lake , but then I believe I really need to revert back to a marker lead and float to pinpoint any interesting areas shown by the Deeper . 😃

You got an iron , Elmo ? . 😃

Just don't leave Elwood asleep in his car seat while you have a little mouch around the lake if the sun suddenly comes out ! . ☹️

Congratulations to the both of you , love the baby grow .

Good idea Commonly , roll on Friday . 😃

Sorry to read about your dog . Have a great day chillin' out . All the best . 😊
