Woolly Bear,

The nice thing about the rod is that I can flick a single mixer about 10 yards on 5lb line; when I need to stop a fish I just give it the butt and the fish comes to an immediate halt. Very versatile. Its got more stopping power than a Mk IV.

Try flicking a single mixer out on a plastic rod, impossible. Great write up, and pictures. Thanks.

Richard.

Nerves of steel with those action shots!
A fine day, and a rather nice way to finish it off!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

What amazing action shots, Sodasurfer - I wouldn't have the iron nerve to take them, but they really show what it's all about! :Thumb: :Sun:

Lovely words and pictures sir
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures and memories

I probably won't try the 'carp + photo' trick again, my iPhone nearly ended up in the water. Next time I will take a small tripod and video camera. It is much hotter today, I might go after some Tench this evening.
