Hi, I just watched the long distance casting video (part 1) with the legend that is Mark Hutchinson, and I am slightly confused! In the video under reels he is using a shimano ultegra 5500 xtb and he mentions and i quote:
“Add a washer for better line lay !”
Can you please explain, how and why he does that?
Thanks and tight lines. (more…)
Readers Query: Boilie Breakdown

Hi,iam fishing a lake that the carp tend to pick up baits that have been washed out after a couple of days.When i reel in my baits that have been out for two days, They have either gone or they just fall apart, i wish to leave them out a bit longer how do i make them last longer (two days plus)
THANK YOU. MICHAEL CHIPOLINA
Hi Michael
Great question and one that Shaun would probably give the most in depth answer to. As he is still hopefully catching a few Buffalo carp in America, I will give you my thoughts and I am sure Shaun can add to this on his return.
You say they are picking up washed out baits, I have found this before myself on a couple of pressured waters. Have you tried to rehydrate your baits in say hemp juice or lake water? Shaun has wrote extensively on the subject in the past and you can read all about this in the article section of the website. Basically Air dry your boilies (freezer baits) until they are rock hard, then place them in a tub and cover with your chosen liquid. They will soften up and their colour will fade, A large proportion of the strong aroma (flavour) will disperse. This by itself will give you baits that have the appearance of having been cast out for a couple of days and you will immediately have bait that the wary Carp will feel confident in picking up.

Reader’s Query: Etang de Grosley
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
Dear Jim
I have just read your article on Grosley with much interest as I am taking my son and nephew in April, and I was a bit surprised to see the weather was so cold. We have booked pegs 17a 17b and 18, have you got any other advice for me and should I take my own bait or save some space and buy on site. One more thing is the tackle shop ok or should I stock up on rigs weights before I go. Sorry to ask such boring questions but these bit of info are not on the web site (more…)
My thoughts for next year
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
When winter pays a visit to the lake I’m fishing, the water almost overnight becomes as clear as glass making me pay some thought to the line on my spools. When choosing line I soon came to realise you have to have a good look around as there are so many to choose from. I’ve been using Xline for some time now and I wanted a change so I decided to look at red mist line from TF Gear.
