    Is it just navaras, walshie0988 off here had the chassis on his pathfinder snap not long back . Think he had to go through the ombudsman to get some money back but still lost out it

    There's a vid on YouTube of one of them divs falling off a crane over in the Ukraine or Russia or somewhere like that . Can't get my head round why you would want to do that just to get a rush .

    Sky,virgin T.v?

    neil r replied to squab's topic in General Talk

    I got a zgemma box and got rid of sky and it's already paid for itself after a couple of months . Tried kodi on my laptop but for live sport it was always buffering . The zgemma is sound other than you don't get sky in hd on them , if you can live with that they are well worth getting

    your prob right mate, lol it because it because there all inter bred , you look at most farmers , they never marry outside there family circles , its cousin to cousin or 2nd cousin etc, never anybody out there circle ,and as been said greed biggest prob with them, the old saying very rare to see a poor farmer even today , forget the bullshit they tell you , they got feckin grants for nearly everything today The woman I worked for was always pleading poverty and the next minute she'd buy a new car or motorbike . She ended up with 3 cars 6 bikes and 2 pickups but she would st

    Farmers

    neil r replied to The one's topic in General Talk

    I've worked on farms for years and they are all the same . They spend nearly all their life in isolation and don't have many social skills so don't know how to talk to people . One that I worked for was an absolute nightmare. He was only a little fella but he used to scream and shout at everybody who he came in to contact with over the slightest things . To this day I don't know how he never got filled in . Another one I worked for was a woman who had took over the farm after her dad died . She used to fall out with other farmers and relatives for fun and the amount of staff she went through

    Agm do knot2kinky titanium wire down to 6lb . I use it in 12lb when I'm perch fishing on the canals and it's good stuff . A 3 turn blood knot will hold no problem even though it looks like it's not tied properly. https://www.agmdiscountfishing.co.uk/m/prod_detail.php?cPath=cPath=56_104&products_id=4108

    Have a look at the modern P.E braids like this if you want thin light braid . http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=291862985909&category=179966&pm=1&ds=0&t=1484716584969 . Personally I wouldn't go so low even with ultralights because you can still put light mono or flouro trace on anyway . 8-10lb power pro standard and their thin multicoloured depthunter is what I use for ultralights , but I'm likely to catch pike aswell where I fish . Be careful buying power pro braid off eBay though , unless it's from a recognised shop , there's snide stuff

    Just had a go with the Rio and it was sound so I've just ordered a couple of the Norris integrated shooting heads in floating and 2/3rd's sinking to play with while I improve my casting technique .
  11. neil r
    I hope it does , if not I'll have to get some lessons.
  12. neil r
    Thanks for the offer but I think I'm sorted , I'm picking a either an airflo multi tip or Rio afs up in the morning off walshie0988 off here. I've had a look at the lines tonight and they do look too thin to be Spey lines and coupled with the fact the bloke I got it off kept trying to get me to try casting it before I paid him makes me think they probably are trout lines . It's no big deal , I'll just get some of them John Norris integrated shooting heads if I can cast the line I borrow off rob . The main river I'll be on will be the ribble but it was the Calder I was practicing on earlier and
  13. neil r
    Just had an hour trying to cast and I think the lines are wrong for it . I've got a feeling they are heavy trout lines (they look like cortland 444's) not salmon lines because they didn't seem to load the rod with a Spey cast no matter what length of line I had out but I could cast them overhead single handed like a trout rod . I'm going to borrow a proper one tomorrow off a mate and see if it is the line or something I'm doing wrong .

    Just had a quick look on iTunes and there's none on there so you will have to download them yourself on to your computer and drag and drop them on to your iTunes and put them on yourself but it's not straightforward because you need to edit it to length and then alter something else so that it doesn't duplicate it with the original one . I think the vid I used to put my own ringtones on mine was off YouTube but it's not straightforward and it's the only thing that androids make easier .

    I used to have a beast master and it was a decent rod . It was heavier than what your looking for but they are a not bad at all . There's a few other shimmy rods like the scimitar and the yasei red perch that might be worth you looking at aswell . There's also a couple of savage gear rods like the troutizimo , parabellum and the lrf , not to sure if they go as short as your looking for though .

    Aye mate an usually very well, try some smaller plugs with a gead in em to rattle, or bigger plugs for bigger trout hahaCheers. I live couple seconds walk away from a lovely bit of chalk stream that's free to fish the trout are wise I see them going to take spinners in the day but I allways seem to lose them straight away as if there not getting hooked properly ? Also what sort of lures and spinners are best for fast shallow gin clear water ? Or is it just stick to the trusty old free line bread and size 6 hook lol Aswell as rapalas have a look at salmo lures like the tiny and bullhead before

    If it's fast action you want you need to be looking at the Japanese makers like Sakura, majorcraft, megabass , tenryu for example . They are streets ahead with ul gear. They start at around £50 for a Sakura ryokan and go £700+ for some of the high end models . Their lures and reels are the same aswell . You can pick a a jap spec reel and the same one from anywhere else in world and it will be slightly higher spec . You can get the shimano jdm spec reels from shimmy dealers over here aswell now without having to order from Japan .

    The lines that came with it are dt #9's . I'm hoping to have a go tomorrow if I can get time and if they are not right I'm thinking of getting a #10 John Norris integrated shooting head and see if that's better .

    Personally with the rapala i think the fish hit them really hard and i have my drag set very soft so the fish can draw a bit of line off the drag as i hit it, otherwise i think the tear the hook hold out.That's what I do with perch because of their delicate mouths . With my multiplier set ups for pike though , I basically lock the clutch up and even though some of the hits are savage it needs to be done to set the hooks properly

    Personally with the rapala i think the fish hit them really hard and i have my drag set very soft so the fish can draw a bit of line off the drag as i hit it, otherwise i think the tear the hook hold out. I wonder if the choice of mono or braid is a factor with hook ups? I use braid for sea fishing, but I have so far stayed with mono for the bit of freshwater fishing I do...On a small spinning rod, I suspect braids lack of stretch might make it a bit harsh when striking? I will only use braid for lure fishing and all my rods from the ultralights to the 180-300g jerkbait and swimbait rods a

    I've got rapala j-13's , dt-4's and shad raps and not had any problems hooking up with them . I'd love to know what people are doing with them to not hook up properly although I suspect their hooks might need a bit of a tickle . Your right about having confidence in lures . One of my favourite pike lures is the squirrely burt but if you Google them you will see they are a marmite lure , some people just can't get a fish on them and others get loads
  24. neil r
    There's a few lures made on that principle now like the savage gear line thrus and mr whiggly . It's a good way of doing it although it's mainly done on the line thrus and whigglys to protect the soft plastic from getting ripped up . I've had Toby's in the past but never had a fish on them but then again I hardly used them so it was a viscous circle . How do you find the hook up ratio with them rapalas , ive seen it said on other forums that they are poor hookers . Can't really see it myself because the back treble is free and they are not a big deep sided lure .

    What's the one in the bottom left on the second pic , not seen one like that before
