Be careful with fishing republic , they are on the verge of going under unless they can get emergency funding

Have a look at John Norris’s website. If you’re not looking to spend loads have a look at the Shakespeare sigma and agility ranges , think they do full set ups aswell but if not they deffo do the rods . You can get budget lines for a fiver but I’d rather spend a bit more on a decent line and a bit less on a reel because for trout fishing the reel will be little more than a line holder but a bad line that’s like a coiled spring will frustrate you and ruin your fishing. Cortland , guideline and Rio are decent lines but can be dear but the snowbee classic is a reasonable line that’s not too exp

For ultralights I use a 7ft , 0.7-7gram Sakura sportism with a 2500 size shimano aernos with 10lb power pro depth hunter braid . For traces it will be 12lb knot2kinky titanium wire with most lures but if I’m using something really small like the crazy fish whitebaits or ballzy worms or 1 inch kopytos it will be 4lb guru nguage

If you want to try some really small soft plastics for silvers and perch have a look at crazy fish whitebaits . They are only 3/4 inch long and you’ll need an half gram size 12 jig head or a size 10 big eye hook with a small fly tying bead on the line in front . You can see the roach hitting them as they fall through the shoal . Ballzy worms are another similar type bait that catch silvers aswell

Bobco do kopytos but according to their website they are out of stock . They do have one colour in Sakura split shads that is worth getting and they have some nice looking gunki lures and I think they stock zman aswell
-
Relax kopyto’s in 001(white) and 055(yellow) colours are a must have . I use them in in sizes from 1-2.5 inch , jig heads are agm , ecogear and TT from an 10-1 . Got them in in other colours aswell but I’ve found the white and yellow are the most effective and I can’t be alone because they are always the ones that sell out first . Other soft plastics to look at are crazy fish nano minnows , zman slim shads , Orka mermaids and orka twister tails . You can get everything apart from I think the zman from Agm products and lureworld . Be warned though , you’ll end up spending a fortune once you go

Not yet , ive been putting it off because I’ve got an hand injury so it will be probably another week or so before I get up there . What it’s like for losing tackle , is it rough or clean ground

Looks like it’s not happening now . Mayweather is now claiming he hasn’t agreed to fight him and only agreed to a non televised fight for wealthy businessmen against an unspecified opponent and that he’d never heard of the lad till he got to japan . If he was as clueless as he’s trying to make out what were the press conferences for . Probably seen the kids fights now and changed his mind
-
Anyone know anything about fishing Whitehaven pier , I’m up that way either at the end of the week or next week and thinking of having a go weather and time permitting . Also is there somewhere to get fresh bait from locally

I was with Hastings for a couple of years with my car insurance until I got a renewal quote through the post that had pretty much doubled it to over £800 . I went on the comparison sites and Hastings themselves gave the best quote that was near enough what I was already paying so I rang them and told them I was not accepting the 800 quote because they had quoted half that on the comparison site . The bloke on the phone said I’ll see what I can do and came back with £650 and was genuinely surprised when I said no because you’ve already quoted 420 online. I could have just gone through the onlin

My mate didn’t get home in time so I had a few shots in the yard and just pulling to my ear instead of the corner of my mouth made a big difference. First hit on a soup tin and the 9.5 steel went through one side instead of just dinting it . I’m not keen on the shape of the frame though . Even though I’ve got big hands it just doesn’t feel comfortable. I put some bands on an old natural I had from years ago and it just felt better and I was more accurate with it so I’ll just crack on with that if I can’t get used to the other frame
-
I got a tape and held it over the forks and measured the draw then I think it was divided by 5 or 5.5 to get the band length like I’ve seen on videos . I’m off up to my mates for a mess about with it in a few minutes so I’ll see how it compares to his with the same bands .
-
I got a frame given a few weeks ago and the lad recommended single gzk bands for it so I ordered some .80 25-20 green and white stuff and trying it out it doesn’t seem that powerful . I used to use double and even triple bands and 12mm lead the last time I messed about with cattys and they did some damage when they hit so I tried a couple of 12mm leads that I had left on an empty soup tin and from about 25 ft the lead put dint in it and a bit of a split in the side but didn’t penetrate it . I also tried 9.5 steel and although it seemed to get there faster they only put a dint in it . It’s a w

Probably have it written in the contract that he can’t kick or use knees , there must be something because he won’t have the dodgy Vegas judges to bail him out this time .
-
He is tiny and I think only 19 but he’s had 4 MMA , 27 kickboxing fights unbeaten and over an 100 amateur fights , that’s a lot of fights for a young lad . If they have hand picked him I think they’ve dropped a bollock.

https://apple.news/ApgSrFhXZQcGv0fF7gQFNsg Just seen this on my news feed saying Mayweather is going to fight Tenshin Nasukawa in an MMA fight . If this is really going to be MMA and not just a boxing match in the octagon I can see mayweather getting battered . I’ve seen a few of Nasukawa’s early fights and he looks a bit handy . The report says he’s 4-0 but that’s just in MMA but doesn’t mention he’s 27-0 with 21ko’s in kickboxing aswell . Floyds running and evasiveness won’t really help him when he’s getting hit with leg kicks . Can see him getting done this time , unless he’s dictating

Had an hour with a mate on a couple of little lodges just up the road this morning . I had 2 and lost one and my mate had one . All the fish came on savage gear panic prey 8.9cm lures , we couldn’t get a touch on any other lures today for some reason

He’s been cleared by the bbboc https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/11510789/billy-joe-saunders-says-he-is-clean-after-adverse-finding-in-voluntary-drugs-test

There was a place not far from me that had a fair few with similar markings . Once we spotted one of them we started looking out for them and saw at least 10 in the next couple of fields , couldn’t get permission on there though . I just assumed someone had let a pet rabbit go and they were off that . I had a permission over Harrogate way that had a couple of ginger ones and one over near garstang that had a few black ones on but I’ve not seen the mixed colour ones anywhere else . When I was a falconer on the tip I used to catch crows on there that had white markings on them , usually it was j

Don’t think Teddy atlas is happy about it . He had picked canelo to win aswell before the fight
-
Was it another bad decision , I’ve not watched it yet but just been reading the comments on the bbc sport website and most are saying it was close but another dodgy decision and just seen on sky sports news that it was controversial and many people had Golovkin winning
-
Can’t believe he agreed to another fight in Vegas after last time but hope he gives him a right paggering . Canelo seems to be one of those fighters you have to knock out to get a draw . It’s not just canelo and his dodgy hand wraps and roids, he’s up against the Nevada state commission who let him and golden boy get away with it and the dodgy judges aswell .
