the maver match this range is the cheapest ive seen and it doesent look bad quality either josh, i think you might even get one for £25 on ebay and should be spot on for what you need. you do get what you pay for though dont forget that.

if your just looking for something cheap to get a couple of rods or your pole down to the bank, the maver match this range of luggage should do the trick, 4 tube rod holdall only £29.99. most tackle shops will have them in i would think.

spawning carp

deffinately the right thing to do when the fish are getting of that size, you dont want to put big carp to 30 and 40lb through more stress throuugh iether getting caught or foul hooked, theyve got enough on their plate prouducing the fish of the future for us to enyoy, the laeast we can do is give t...

spawning carp

i do believe that when you arrive at a fishery and especially when theres a number of lakes to fish if theres certain lakes that are not producing because all the carp are crashing around in the edge down to spawning you should be pointed towards a different lake by iether sings or the owner himself...

elastics

ive just put the 6 to 9 hollow in one top kit which is perfect for skimmers and small stockies and the 12 to 20 for fishing down the edge. the 12 to 20 will cope with any size carp really but the good thing about it is whilst fishing for the lumps close in and if you do get any silvers it still work...

Liquidised Bread

I see where youre coming from there tk, its the same with all baits really isnt it, you just never know what the fish are going to want on any given day, and im no master of the canals but by feeling your way in and and realising when and how much the fish are wanting is the key to a good days fishi...
