You are sticky mad 👍

Everyone I seem to talk to that uses it, does seem to have real Confidence in it though 

Deffo, I've got some Boilies soaking in the Liquid and Stik Mix, spraying the Pop Ups n Wafters every other day, few small pva bags made up ready. 

Going small Baits now, 10/12 mm

Probably be about 10th 11th October next out?

Nice, of all the major bait brands Sticky is one I like. I use their krill hook baits, got a pot of manila pop ups as well and a bag of the Krill active in the freezer and a tub of 12m krill bottom barrels and the krill spray. was meant to be out this week but my calliper started sticking again got my mate to wind it back again but the rubbers were shot, stuck again the next day so had to bite the bullet and get it done at a drive in brake and tyre place, not cheap but i did get my deposit back on the parts, well they are sending it.  the price of callipers is mental and it's one of those parts i don't like to get from the scrappy or fit myself. 

I will be out soon though might get a bit more sticky bait stuff to complement the Cov Gold bolies  as they are a very high quality krill bait. they just don't do much in the way of bait condiments as i call them lol.

Sorry, but Krill Active, 6yrs to make a Boilie wrapped in paste. 

We have probably all done that before this was started, Nash also with the Citruz. 

I do exactly same now, Manilla Boilies Glugged, Stik Mix on top, then gradually repeat if needed.

Thought i'd give them whirl you will be pleased to know they have a manila active in the pipeline.  i can't get a paste in my usual bait they only do freezer bolies and a few hook baits, a bag of the active will go alongside them nicely.

True about givi g a whirl, I did the same with Mainline Link... Absolute Garbage not 1 fish on it. 

Manilla Active you say 🤔🤔.... but again, would that be the same principal, paste around a Boilie?

Same as the Krill active i think. there is a difference in these and stickies regular baits, these break down a lot quicker due to it being a very soft bait inside an outer coating.

Aaaah, I'm happy with the Traditional Manilla at moment, catching fish, and a PB on it, so think I'll stay 👍

I do like fishing near islands, but my favorite place is next to the bridge. You never know what's going to come out from there👀

Looks like a blank by the bridge🙄

Maybe I'll just have to keep making my own islands🤞

Sonik Vader X 2 Rod Pod 

Well Guys.... I think I've been well and truly had off with this Purchase. 

Was listed as Sonik Vader 2 Rod Pod... £30 free postage... Beltin. 

Mate at work owed me £40, so I said order this and we call it straight. 

Sent him the link, told the seller a mate was buying it, Brilliant, all gone through, got sent a screenshot of payment through PayPal, BUT noticed it said Friends & Family, (1st alarm bell).

Then seller contacted me saying going post office to post, thought great. Hour or so later seller messaged asking for extra £10 to cover shipping, Is there any chance you can send another £10 for postage mate, I've come to the post office and postage is £15 I thought it's only be £5 but it isn't ?  

Reply... So will be £40, not being rude pal but for extra £9 (£49) I can get brand new with 12month warranty, if you think its unfair transfer the £30 back if you want pal? 

So he paid, I'm still waiting now, messaged aski g for a tracking number/reference, didn't get 1 he says... Im pestering everyday, he said yeatrday, I'll go post office today mate and chase it up... No reply. 

Think my Money and Pod are well up the river sailing away.

Gutted for you

What do people think of the Cygnet 2 Rod Buzz Bars, the Minimal Range. 

Do like the Swan necks style. 

BUT, mainly a pod man.... Just the fact I've been had off with the Sonik Pod, and sold my KNX pod to put to it... 

Never used bankstick set ups before.

If I wanted a 2 Rod ret up I would look at the cygnets tbh or matrix blackout, slightly more expensive but they are rock solid tbh had no issues with mine really love em, just get a matrix piledriver or bankstick auger of some kind that will eat into most ground, I know cygnet do those also for each bankstick type

It's looking like cygnet so far, but I've just found Gardner Nano Bars, not keen on olive green but they do look sturdy 👍

[bluelabel 1,540]

Have a look at InterLok's offerings... very nice, very classy... not cheap but very durable... had mine nearly 15 years and its still going strong

Wife said she ordered me what I sent her the other day... 

Also a mate has GIVEN me the base to a Nash 2 rod knx pod, so will probably buy 4 banksticks and use it as that.

Newest purchase? Mines a new pack of 2/3oz leads and 2 new 10g inline methods. Was going to be Mainline Cell 10mm Boillies, Mainline Orange 8mm Wafters, Korda Goo Almond Smoke and Pineapple Supreme and some Mainline Margin Mix ready for a session this weekend but my mates car has broken down so haven't purchased them as it looks like we can't go 😞

Midi spomb 

Gardner camflex lead free leader 

I went to Mountain warehouse online  and got myself some snow boots, and a Coleman stove and a mess Tin to make it free delivery 😁

They should be fine for a bit of old cambs mud 

[Highy 2,200]

My 2 rod Buzz Bars set up has come, abit on the small side me thinks, no pics as at work now, set them all up with alarms n butt grips, tarted them Up with some purple O rings too. 

Found this online, Exact ones, not the Cygnet that I asked wife for, just plain standard... 12mm diameter thick bankstick n Buzz bars. 

Need to find 4 black banksticks with he diameter of 17mm to fit I to the Nash KNX 2 Rod Pod.

I've just Found 16mm Banksticks, 4 for £22 or 6 for £26...be using the knx pod but with no goal/buzz bars, just an alarm on 2 stick, then butt grips on 2 sticks, and have the base as stability (if needed).
