Went on a hike to loch skeen a few weeks back... Getting properly back in to trout fishing again and loving it. These two fish came out a small burn and I'm wondering if the bottom one is a salmon? Only took it as it was bleeding the other was put back but shows the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Air injection is the way forward! I believe stihl now use some thing like it on new saws but the 66 is an old design. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The round gaffs make them sound like the honeys own brand sold in the 80's ... Even a cheap set of kliens would do you better! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

A great all rounder ! If I had to choose one that would be it.....sugoi and tsurgi come in second and third followed by the zubat on my list. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Throw cube is essential ,I like the dyna glide as it's more supple and does not resemble wire cored string like other lines. I would take on a 14oz and 16oz bags on each end as well so you can re route the line easily through rough bark with no messing and frustration of none returning bags. Get ready to grab the line as soon as you have fired or it will end up through the top of the tree and 3 gardens down!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Ha ha awsome hedge !! Looks like you have been having a great time Paul.

Some quality work there james, really like your reductions .

Definitely worth sighning. -
Can't find an old style clip to retro fit either...

I had the trapeze clip it self on to the cocoon pulley of an ART rope guide preventing retrieval the other week, Complete freak!! But would not of happened with the old style rope guide.

That looks an awesome tree!

Are you sure they are not just keys?

8 mm roblon approx 50cm between the fishermans knots on 13mm rope with a combo of 3 wraps and 4 braids self tended and gripped perfect. Lock jack and spider jacks maybe your thing though. I owned both and got rid of them pretty quick, both have a really annoying habit of pulling slack through when your trying to do reductions just at a point you don't need it! The zig zag was definitely a better tool.

Have you tried changing your hitch cord and its diameter? Roblon and liros are both cheap and are easy to tune. The new liros looks sweet, it has the suppleness of the older stuff and hopefully the indestructibility of armour prus it mimics.

If I had the time Craig.

Again though it was discussed that these comps are great meeting places for sharing tips, ideas and having a beer or what ever , that appeals to me. I know personally if I was going to entertain the idea I would rather go to a regional comp and have a go for the crac rather than half way across the country to be humiliated by the top 17 . I know when the rec climbs on here happen there's usually not a bad turn out. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It's definitely the best idea on the thread so far if you want more people turning up for a final and to encourage more interest. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'm not really bothered and I don't think I'm good enough to either, my point being if there was interesting prizes it might encourage more people to enter... If that's not the case from what others are saying then it was not a valid point, my point is there are plenty of people who do the job day in and out and maybe an incentive may spur them to enter or pay interest after a hard weeks graft... The only comp I ever entered was hardly a comp and about two people entered who fancied a prize. Any how congrats mog on the win , well done mate. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
