Mmm float line you say so if its not a parachute I must say you are a real trooper for not wanting to complain Stick it in the shed and one day i am sure you will find a use for it, funny how that happens isnt it

It wont fit in the shed mate,chest freezers,waders,and a 100 yard seine-net in there I am just trying to work out why theres a line that sinks and one that floats,most odd,I will have a fiddle around with it next week when I have free time,I am sure it wont beat me Its ok FR,they might have done me but I normally come up smelling of roses

Chest frezers, who needs more than one I still cant work it out, floating line , sinking line, what does it all mean Going to keep me awake all night and to make matters worse Turkey have just scored

[mackem 26,357]

Yeah,floating+sinking,bit like ying+yang,dont lose sleep over it Chess,Mrs C was remarking only the other day your in dire need of beauty sleep :kiss: Yeah,more than one chest freezer mate,I keep "things" in them Turkey won?Sabonguero?

I am off back to Manila later in the year,it IS exciting actually

[Guest rexdigger]

Oh yeah,good guess on the mesh Chess,not quite right though,and its not polypropylene,its 4.5 float-line

I am just wondering what to do with my cork-butt Rex,where am I going to stick it?

floats doesnt it lol

[mackem 26,357]

Why didnt I think of that End-float

Mackem, where did you get your floatline and stuff from? Just interested to see if I can get a cheaper supplier.

 

And BTW, what knot/lashing do you use to fix the net to the floatline and leadline?

 

Cheers

Its actually a well known tackle-shop that advertises in "Sea Angler",there appears to have been a mix up with the shipment as it looks nothing whatsoever like what was ordered

I normally use a goridan knot

Quit teasing, what really is it. I assume by goridan you mean gordian knot?

[mackem 26,357]

I did,most unlike me to make a spelling mistake fishy,as you well know,but its late,I worked all day and only had 2 hours sleep last night due to being out,yup,thats the one,the good old gordian knot,what the f**k is a goridan

[mackem 26,357]

Goridan sounds like some sort of spicy vindaloo,do you think it would be a match for the old Tandoori-Nymph

[fishy123 0]

Your spelling is normally excellent, as you said. Shame about the grammer though. I think goridan curry definately has to have some spinach in it.

 

So what's the knot really? ATMO I'm using a reef knot and then applying a drop of epoxy which works nicely but a different method would be good as the epoxy is sticky and I've lost my syringe so I have to guess the mix. Maybe you could get some syringes thrown in next time one of your family tries exporting tea chests again?

[mackem 26,357]

Syringe You got a habit Fishy?Epoxy?Glue is just as bad mate,you want to stay off that stuff

[fishy123 0]

Aye, it's pretty hard to get off glue once you're caught.

 

So, the knot is...
