Spliffy Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yep, 1st time I tried chinning a pike, it thrashed about, my grip relaxed a bit, and I got the teeth across 3 knuckles. Stung like a bastard and bled for about 5 hours, despite me trying to patch up with rizlas. I always have a strip of sticky plasters in my lure bag now.

I always have a strip of sticky plasters in my lure bag now. best to just net them mate regardless of size best way to sort old toothy out is roll him on his back between ya knees then get him under the chin then pull him up by the head this opens the mouth then in with the forceps yep there sharp teeth alright you also need to be aware of the inside of the gills these are as sharp as the teeth trust me i found out the hard way ouch and plenty of blood owd Can i just nail one thing down..This practice is illegal! yep your right there matey !!! but go into any carp mag and you will see rigs using lead wire around hooklinks etc tut! tut! tut !they probably dont even realise its illegal i thought it was only actual ledgers that were made from lead now wasnt this something to do with swans eating shot and dying that started all this ????? (but we will turn a blind eye to shot from shotgun cartridges ) peppi Edited January 11, 2006 by Peppi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spliffy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 works the best ells 2 ft long Are you aware that that eel will be about 50 years old? I hate it when people kill eels, just because it snotted up their line. They are one of the most remarkable fish about. The eel population is declining rapidly, partly due to trapping, and partly because un-educated fishermen see them as just "Horrible nasty slimey twisty things". Be nice to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RAZ Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Plus its nearly all lead on the feeders still Owd Went into a large local(ish) tackle shop yesterday and could'nt find a single piece of lead in the place, all the weights/feeders etc were all made from non-lead material. The only time I have seen lead recently is at the sea fishing shops.... RAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Most of mine are lead mate and as far as I knew I thought that the weight on feeders now was lead.If not I stand correcting And my mate owns a tackle shop aswell.Shows how many feeders i buy now Owd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RAZ Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Here's some of them that was purchased........ I won't show you my sea weights, I have to get a dozzer in to move them RAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Right I read what i wrote and what i meant on the lead shot rules is that if you have No8 shots and smaller in lead you can still use them not the other way round.Its the bigger shots in lead you are not allowed Buuuuut you cant buy em in lead now so everyone just uses lead free Plus weights also over 1oz you can use lead still And all my drennan feeders new and old are lead and so are 80% of my others.Drennan themselves confirm that 80% of there own feeders are lead Owd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bish Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Some of those non-toxic shot are really quite hard & can pinch the line leaving it weak. Bish's top tip - use thin float rubber over the line, & then attach the shot if bulking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owderb Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Another tip on that Bish is to look at getting some "Preston Innovations slip shot Its plastic coated with ptfe material and slips lovely on the line Owd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peppi Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Plus weights also over 1oz you can use lead still wink.gif yep thats the one all my leads for carp fishing are lead these are plastic coated (korda)leads to be honest i dont think it was leads that were causing damage to swans i think it was shot from guns and petrol from boat engines in the water to be honest i cant see how plastic coating them makes any diffrence myself the inner bore of a inline lead isnt plastic coated it cant be other wise you wouldnt be able to get your line down the hole through the lead raz that method feeder you have if you get a standard lead and rough it up a bit with a file or something similar then smooth off any sharp edges it makes a great method feeder and scalded trouties make a brilliant method mix give it a blast this summer matey im sure you will be impressed we tried it on a water that hadnt seen it before and the action was bersek two runs at once etc i had a session were i had 29 fish in 24 hours all good doubles to the only problem been the kettle was on nearly all the time we couldnt make it fast enough a quick edit for all if your after pellets check out gb pellets in middlewhich cheshire they do mail order and you wont find them cheaper anywhere in the uk peppi Edited January 17, 2006 by Peppi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a good job especially when using fine line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
