Great review very helpful.
What are the best Nash X or Freeze Spirit series helicals
FOX is superior IMO this one is complete junk. You need a crane to get the lids off. Magnets come off...even in this video. It is like the "Biden" of tackle boxes.
used the 30lb version of this braid and lost a good upper thirty possibly a forty fishing in the edge..... it doesnt last long on the spool and is then easily snapped around the knot. I will swap for something stronger!
it snapped at your knot.. most likely user error
New sub. 🙂
I’ve just had a set of mk 1’s today brand new in a case must say impressed so far with them hopefully out fishing next week,sold my delkims of 9years for these
Hi mate, can you tell me if this braid comes with line markers on? Cheers
I can't remember I'm afraid. I don't think it did if memory serves me right. But I haven't had to respool it again since first time as it's still going strong
What a bag off shit you can't get le hook link back through the eye to small
Great looking pond. Beautiful dog also..
Hi, how are you finding the Freespirit Helicals? I'm looking at the 12ft 3.5s or possibly the new kaizen greens
£28 in 2024, also replica of tracker cg3
Great series of videos, thanks for taking the time to record the whole process. We will be referring back to these throughout our forthcoming build.
Soon as you took that little step back I knew that rod was gonna go🤣
Lovely video… 13 mins in, I swear that’s my car you can hear whizz past 😂
Whats your appinion on these now bud? Ive heardthe line clips come off
Doesn't a little smear of 'Vaseline' do the same job at a fraction of the price?...
I personally wouldn't use vaseline if I was leaving rigs out a long time and also being petroleum based would worry me with off scents. But each to their own 👍
Does anybody know if these klips are up to the task for continental carps (50+ lbs on hook size 4 to 2 or even 1)? I like the idea and concept very much.
Lesson with terry edmonds that cures all your problems Hes one of the best distance casters who teaches carp anglers to cast 👍 Tc of the rod maybe to stiff for your frame i used to have century 3.5tc but found 3.25 were better for me i could cast 30 yards further instantly because i could compress them 👍
try pb mono excellent casting line
I used it years ago when I was with pb and really hated it in the end 🤣 it casts well as it's super thin but I got cut off so many times using it I had to stop. But each to there own I know a lot love it I just found it to be far to weak at the time for the places I tend to fish.
I use the 24lb pb mono and fish some proper snaggy and rocky waters, never been cut off with it, best line I've used in over 30yrs of carp fishing.
Great idea for a series of vlogs. Looking forward to watching them
Stamp your right foot down and pull left hand in with momentum after. Keep right arm stiff. You'll do 40+ wraps immediately.
Left rod, 4 wraps out..... melted
@@chappy0690 😂 snide in the side
Certainly would be interested in leader vs non leader, especially as many fisheries have banned leaders. Keep up the good work. 👍
You mean tapered line Vs leader or say 15lb Vs 10lb with leader? 👍
12lb with leader(most fisheries seem to be min. 12 lb line) vs 15lb straight through. 👍
Hi, Firstly keep up with the great videos :) Have you heard of the new Zebedee Carp Fishing Rig? it helps prevent you getting Done or Royally Done, upping your catch rate with More and BIGGER Carp!! if you are interested in trying it out contact me search Zebedee Carp Fishing Rig. Many Thanks Geoff.
They look beautifull rods the freespirit ive got 6ft sawmoffs for my syndicate fishing baitboat out under overhanging willows etc and i have 10ft rods and 13ft rods and if i go to a big water where its distance casting and the 13ft rods are required it feels alien at first as it may be a year since i last used them even the feel of a 13ft rod compared to a 12ft is strange but the benefits are 100% there my mate can hit 50 wraps as though its normal with his if u stick with them u will get a good feel for them and benefit from them a lesson on technique is a great idea get the fundementals right and u are ready to go cheers tightlines
Yep lesson will be on the cards once I find the right person 👌 I'm definitely seeing myself moving away from the 12ft for everything and going to 10ft under 100yrds/ smaller venues or 13ft for distance. 👍 Hope your good 🤘
Hi mate do you use this on a heli setup at all? If so had any tangle issues or reckon it’s stiff enough. As you say it’s more of a semi stiff, pretty similar stiffness to esps semi
Yeh used it all week in France last week on Heli setups had zero issues fishing 100+ yards no tangles
Doesnt this thing only open if you land it on its side? All spombs are nose heavy so they naturally hit the water nose down. Having to land this on its side just seems like an absolute nightmare
Nope it opens no Matt how it hits the water , within reason! it's just any impact opens the magnets 👍
Great hooks these, most stuff they do is absolute bobbins but these are 👌.. although "innovative" is strong, they look very much like a old kamakatsu pattern, and the more recent trakker clinga sp
Mega review matt!!!Great footage!!
cheers buddy appreciate that!
I think the baiting strategy helps secure a good hook hold.. What I mean is what mood the fish are in on the spot your fishing. If the fish are on edge and are mouthing the odd freebie you will achieve the odd bad hook hold. You can learn a lot from surface fishing In the way fish feed and creating competition on the area your fishing. When you see the hook 3 or 4 inches back those fish are having it and must of really wanted that hookbait..
Yeh waiting pattern definitely plays a part as it does with Rig Lengh etc. A fish moving while feeding will always be easier to hook than a slow moving stationary one. But I can't prove it but in my opinion all things equal in rigs and waiting approach I feel the lock flips over quicker and catches in the moth faster than a standard wide gape just from my experience of both in the past. I might be wrong though 🤣
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler I agree fella 👍
Can u compare them to the nash claw?
I believe the claw shape was more designed with strength in mind rather than Holding the hook in on the back bends. I have used the claw and I do like the chod claw due to the wide gape but I do feel the lock is a better hooking pattern on the deck 👍 just my opinion though bud 👍
Try Pallatrax Gripz. They're the ones for me.
I keep meaning to look at the gripz at some point
How's the casting going?
New video hopefully filming next week on the difference between 12 and 13ft rods wanted to film it before France but life got in the way 🤣
@@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler standard!
Great review fella cheers
Cheers bud 🤘
Looking forward to more in this series…..
Should be coming soon now I'm back from France 👍
Great video. I do often see people say.... here is a simple rig set up..... then show a complicated rig with multiple different elements. We need to stop saying simple rig.... unless its a knottless knot rig 😂 its becoming abit of a buzz to call a rig simple when it really isnt. Well fished tho, persistance paid off.
If you want it to Sink go for the highest diameters, obviously no good for range, best I've found 20lb sub line green Totally bomb Proof.
What bedchair do you have and how much space does it give you? Thanks
I have an original ss3 indulgence which I would say is perfect for a hide. Ss4 would be ok but you wouldn't get it as far back and a wideboy would limit your front space. Not sure on other brands as IV had a Nash bed for years 👍
oxg in 18 its bloody tow rope lovin it though
Yep looking forward to trying it when I need something thick!
Great review ive used since it came out and its simply the best ive used love it 👍
IV definitely enjoyed using it
Gave this a go all last season. It did behave well. Was reasonable for casting but it didnt sink well atall. Felt it was more of a snag type of line It was very similar to a hydro tuff. I went back onto gt80+ 0.35dia much better all round imo
Gardner do make some great lines 👌
Iv been using the rigmarole flx fluorocarbon coated mainline this winter in 20lb . Sinks very very well
Not one iv tried I really need to give some of the rig morale gear a go. I always forget about them as it's not sold in the shops around me
@DiaryOfAnAverageCarpAngler iv been with them a few years now . If you fish lakes with a tubing only rule try the freefall tubing . Won't beat it imo . 👍🏼
@@shanxy2199 is that the almost chain link style tubing? I remember seeing that years ago 👍
Nice review it is certainly a line i intend to try as ive heard nothing but good things about it i dont do much distance fishing unless i go to bernershall etc so i never go below .40 in my fishing unless i use fluro but like u say it all depends on your requirements casting distance etc cheers pal and tightlines
It's an impressive line! Yeh IV Been the opposite recently distance or heavy braided mainline 🤣 think that might change on the next venue this spring 👍 hope you are good 🤘
How do you know where to bring 4inch pipe out for nexus ?
Lots of measuring and using the dimensions drawings for the nexus that are on the EA website 👍
What do you use now matey ??
Looks a good product pal im a PB products fan or korda durakord but get some kryston drop em its soft tungsten putty for leaders and braided hooklinks its a gamechanger draw your chosen material across it a cpl of times it darkens it down nicely but it sinks like a brick gets your leaders right on the deck without taking away its suppleness cheers good review and tightlines
Avid mate best out there by a mile
I dont understand why leadcore is banned but leaders are allowed same stuff apart from the lead wire inside Same breaking strain so no different
Yep I feel it's just a bit of an outdated rule on leadcore these days. I get it if it's tubing only on a venue but when some types of leaders are allowed over others I don't really understand that
I always thought it came from back when we were using lead split shot and weights? The fact that lead can be poisonous to wildlife in some situations.
Excellent summary and demo, keep up the good work. Thanks
Thanks I appreciate that 🤘
Great rundown of lead setups im a helisafe user 80% of the time but using a baitboat you cant beat a 4oz inline dropoff lead setup i love the PB hit and run stuff cheers fella tightlines
🤘 yep the pb clips are definitely something different. Yeh i forgot to mention inlines from a bait boat 👍
