Do remember that we can only take Euros at the lakes lodge, so make sure you get a few quids worth before you leave, or on the ferry guys, that’s if you fancy a few beers during your holiday!
Matt tells me a lot of people, because of the success of the Cell, have been buying 10kgs of the D.L.Specials “tigernut”, chopping or using Korda “Krusha’s”, then using the Cell dips or the Condensed Coconut Syrups to flavour them up,Goes well with DLS Tigernut boilies making them a slightly cheaper version of the Cell, but just as effective. A Cell dumbbell on the hook completes the set-up. So if you didn’t order the Cell for your trip, you can now quite effectively change from whatever to the Cell style, and possibly catch a few more fish as well!!

Hooks etc.
Don’t forget to change that hook after every carp, can’t tell you that enough, it’s a small price to pay, as your next fish could be the fish of a lifetime. At best it works out at 35p per hook. Some of the lads have been using drop off leads, and landing a lot of their fish, but to me that’s a bloody expensive way of fishing. I begrudge paying the £1.20p or £1.40p per 3-4oz lead as it is, let alone losing one every fish. With a new hook added it brings these lads up to nearly £2 for each fish, worth it, if you can afford it.
I’m nearly in tears if I lose my Korda safe zone leader bomb, hook etc, that’s getting on for nearly £7 every time you lose your terminal tackle. Mind you I used to risk life and limb when I was younger, just to get my favourite float back, and probably still would.
