just cleaned all my rods n stuff from the other day in preperation for tomorrows escapaids. its a pain in the ar5e getting things organised after letting it slip so the best thing to do is try stay ontop of things but thats easier said than done

tell me bout it mate my gear is all over the place at the mo i take loads of stuff that im never going to use so i think its time to try condense it all down as much as possible

probably the best thing you could do that mate. over the years i've struggled to carry my gear and used to always take far more than i needed. now i'm able to take all the things i need n carry it in one trip quite comfortably. when summer comes around i will try condese it even more

in the past i also have tried an array of oils (winterised )which in mine own reuslts have made no difference whats so ever but i don,t think its about whether its works but it it gives you confidence then you,ll use or try it regardless if it changes your catch rate or not .
over the past two season during the winter i,ve been trying a few things with flavours with dead baits for my zandering with a few interesting results with certain flavours in colder water conditions .
this had lead me to pursue this line of think abit further to see whether its coincidents or whether there is actually anything to it.

getting back to the use of oils as i all ready sadi it didn,t make any difference in the catch rate and i now don,t bother at all with them and the use of oils with zandering have seen a massive drop in my catch rate so i don,t use oils at all but i think its an individual choice whether you try them or not but the dispersal of oils through the water will depend greatly on the temp of the water .

there you go not just me then as i said i found it made my catch rate go down in the colder months
