hi mate did you say 46lb is that a complex record ?
@CarpBites2 күн бұрын
Hi Colin, yes 46lb, and believe it or not it's not the complex record, they had a 50lb out of one of the other lakes and the fish I caught has since been out over 48lb !!

what the hecky pecky is 12 1/2 wraps >?? please
@CarpBites2 күн бұрын
Using distance sticks to measure the distance, place two bank sticks a rod length apart, once you find a spot you want to fish put the line in the spool clip with the rod pointing up, wind in and then wrap the line around the bank sticks, in this case 12 and a half wraps.

@colinbailey5273 No I never invented it, it has been around for a while. It's is a really good way to get distance to islands or far banks too, to stop overcasting into trees etc.

What do you think is the best lake on the tivket
@CarpBites16 күн бұрын
Hi mate, I think Northfield is the best, but the cats are an issue. It does get very busy there with most of the best swims sewn up with people fishing till there mate arrives and then passing swim on. It can be very frustrating.

When Paul says to use a heatgun will this permantly flare the pipe and use floplast solvent to weld the spigot on 1 end? Have you tried pushing wine corks in? I have a ton in a bag that are 22mm I once bought in a charity shop. Will they shift easily in as they will need to go in up to 6 inch looking at your video with the revised spigot size.
@CarpBitesАй бұрын
Hi, I can't comment on this as I have not tried, I suggest to buy a section of pipe to experiment with.
@JoffreyVerkadeNietVanDeKoekjesАй бұрын
I'll report back my findings.
@JoffreyVerkadeNietVanDeKoekjesАй бұрын
22mm corks go in stiff (which you want) and pushed into position with a mallet and a screwdriver marked to the depth the spigot will go. Using a heat gun I pushed in 1 side 12.5 cm deep and the outer pipe shrunk back which was a nice side effect. I decided to stick out 7cm for the spicot clip hole bit as 12.5cm would become problematic keeping flared. I did 1 test flare and it is workable. I hope to have this done coming week and test over the weekend. 25mm Conduit pipe and 21.5mm overflow pipe from toolstation. Got clips from amazon will recommend when tested. To be continued...
@JoffreyVerkadeNietVanDeKoekjes26 күн бұрын
flaring was a bit hit and miss with keeping it flared but I managed to flare 8 1.5 meter pipes and used pipe clips from amazon, 6mm diameter pin, 10mm long £4.99 for 8. I used a trakker spoon and float (£25 total, previously cygnet baiting pole stuff).
@JoffreyVerkadeNietVanDeKoekjes26 күн бұрын
Took it out for a test run on my local pond. It took me 50 minutes before I was fishing with 2 rods. Couldn't keep the 1st one in. Run after run as I was fishing a tricky bush you can't cast to. I'm waiting for the rowrunner (its in the post) and yes its needed. Line was falling of my reel which was a bit annoying. 6 takes in 3 hours , had a few hook pulls unfortunately, landed 2. I'm happy with the session, learned loads.

Just watched both videos, I'm quite impressed. I'm also looking at making one but was thinking of heating the end of the conduit with a heat gun and pushing another piece in to expand it for a snug fit, then also using the tent pole clips to secure the sections. Also in your fist video (which will now be a moot point) you used gorilla glue, if you used solvent weld there'd have been no need to "key" the joints being glued, I thought I'd mention it for your consideration for any future projects.
