Not if I blow it out the water with my Spodding rod. Bloody boats.

They are a bit naughty on this lake, you can be sitting there chilling out and there goes a black boat accross your swim. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Lol can definatly see the advantage in them though in the presentation of the bait.

when fish are so used to seeing pva bags no more than 150yds from the bank.....to have your bait accuratly placed up to 400yds out with 4kg of freebies around your hookbait..... Its always an advantage

Mate I love it but can only catch theodd roach or perch and some bream now and then.

If you're gonna show me how to catch a genuinely big fish, I will come wherever you are!

Fishing rocks!

Used to love just chilling with a couple of mates, all having a good chat and a few cans of beer then get interupted by a screaming run on 1 of the rods......what an adrenalin rush when it goes off,

may have to get back into it as carp gear is so much cheaper than it was 10 years ago
