Hi pal,I costed it up, it's listed near the end of the video.

Yes that's the one but this comes with Leader winder plus rig winders.

@ I think I’ll be getting one naw . seen just how good they are .thanks for the review? On it

@Carlmasters89 I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Thanks for the feedback Tight lines Steve

His service is also 2nd to non, wish I'd have found him sooner. Cheers pal Steve

I get that mate, that would've maximised all available space 👍🏻

Guess it means you can put a pre baited rig in there, ready to flick straight out..?

Great shout that pal, I think you've solved it. 👍🏻

Lovin the tips pal, thanks for that, I'm sure many others looking at these comments will benefit. Tight lines Steve

Top idea

Nice 1 pal, I think going into a purchase with an open mind rather than acting on brand loyalty can definitely be beneficial on the wallet. Thanks for the feedback Tight lines Steve

I did struggle, think I need to stop biting my nails 🤣

Hi mate, This 1 doesn't have that rubbery feel but it's a great unit, really well put together. Tight lines Steve

Hi mate. Try quality baits in the west Midlands he's a proper bait specialist, he sells at a fair price and is also very helpful if you need any advice. Tight lines Steve

@BivvyLife Will have a look 👍 Cheers Steve.

Hi David. They're available here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254803041818?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=VAHkFAp2Sf-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CrQasR49T2e&var=554623102376&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@BivvyLife thanks Steve am slowly getting my equipment and ingredients together hopefully another week or so I will be rolling my own it’s not something I had ever done or planned but after watching your videos it inspired me to give it a go for the satisfaction and having something different to offer the fish that nobody has to offer and being self sufficient in baits is as much about the joys of fishing as catching a fish or to hopefully not a snot gobbling Bream tight lines Steve

Thank you, much appreciated 👍🏻

Hi mate, I didn't bother with the washers.

The fact Carp can travel in and out of the Trent Is part of the attraction for many anglers, It can be a really tricky water but the rewards are there to be had.

That's the stuff mate, the price seems a good reflection of the quality. Enjoy your journey into making your own baits- glugs, there's no better feeling than catching on your own concoction. Happy new year. Steve

@ thanks Steve it’s something I have never bothered about until watching your channel after a brake of over 15 years I started fishing again lots of new products have come onto the market it’s been a bit of a learning curve and making some adaptations due to my eyesight and dexterity will be 66 on Friday so no work or a young family to stop me making up for lost time back in the summer was on the bank 10 hours a day 6 days a week.

@davidkemp-ej7ur now that's what it's all about pal, getting yourself out there and enjoying every minute of it. Life's too short not to do the things that float your boat. I honestly don't know what I'd do without my fishing. Let me know how you get on with your glugs, catches etc. You say you're jealous of my set up.. I'm jealous that you can go fishing 6 days a week 😂 Tight lines Steve

@@BivvyLife your right about life being to short unfortunately I had to stop working due to health problems had I not finally taken the advice from the consultant after having 3 toes amputated he said when I have to amputate your legs then you will have to stop now I have the time but not the money and going that often can soon break the bank but going down this route is not only satisfying it make economic sense 👍

Sorry to hear that pal, I guess getting out there, walking to and from your swim will keep you active in some form. In terms of cost, there's a lot of overpriced stuff out there that isn't necessary and will do nothing to help you catch fish. Steer clear of all hype and save your coin. Look after yourself. Steve

I received an order of various bits of terminal tackle a few weeks ago and can honestly say everything is spot on. The only think I can think of that some people might find not to their liking is the lead free leader. It's fairly thick and doesn't sink as fast as some but it's perfect for how I like to fish most of the time on my syndicate. I love his gear and can't see myself going anywhere else. How does he do it so cheaply? god only knows. Tight lines Steve

@ am enjoying all your KZbin videos especially the Glug one 👍

@davidkemp-ej7ur thank you mate, glad you're taking something from them. Tight lines Steve

@@BivvyLife definitely Steve I must admit am jealous of your setup it looks amazing am joining a 2nd fishing club next year that has 5 waters and a stretch of river. I have set up myself a wormery so I will have a good supply of worms and thinking that the liquid aka worm tea could be a good additive?

@davidkemp-ej7ur thanks pal, if it makes it any easier for you it's taken me a long time to build it up by doing a job that I really dislike, although the hours are ideal which is why I can do a lot of fishing. Worm tea could be a great shout, you won't know until you try it for a few sessions but yes I can see that doing the job for you. Carp are attracted to worms and maggots which both give off a scent of their excretions. You could've hit on something there, the wrormery will be a great weapon for your fishing I've no doubt.

Thanks for the feedback pal, good luck with your build, just take your time and remember KZbin and Google are your friends 👍🏻

Thanks for the feedback pal. Chods for gods.. love that 😄

Yes adrenaline is a strange thing, can help but sometimes hinder. Thanks pal. Tight lines Steve

Hi Kev. We certainly do all blank mate it's all part of the journey I guess. Thanks for the feedback pal really appreciate it. All the best for 2025, good health and lots of bends in the rods. Steve

Thanks mate, really appreciate the feedback. Tight lines and good health for 2025 Steve

Davo, thanks for the feedback pal. Really appreciate it. All the best for 2025 Steve

Hi Gary, You're so right about making the blanks worthwhile. Thanks pal Tight lines Steve

Thank you mate. Tight lines Steve

Your turn next mate 👍🏻

@ Next joke 😂

@@elliotrhodesuk you've gotta keep pushing on

Cheers pal, onto the next 1 👍🏻

Nice dark colours mate👌🏻 Cheers Tight lines Steve

Hi Brad, Awesome boats mate 👌🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/enWxq2WLeKdqja8

Thanks for the kind words pal. You summed it up beautifully for me regarding 1 good result can erase the negativity from previous sessions. It's definitely the reason I keep getting drawn back lakeside in dire weather. Yes mate all good here thanks 👍🏻 All the best for 2025 Steve

This could be on my shopping list come next spring/ summer.

Hi mate. OK, if you've got the same kit as me it's a simple case of connecting the bullet connectors on the wheel cable to the matching coloured wires on the controller, the remaining white connector block is the learning wires, these dictate which direction the wheel travels. Simply reconnect them again if first connection spins the wheel in a direction that doesn't match up with the forward and reverse switch. Re- the batteries, you'll need to wire your 2x12v in series to get 24v.. Hope this helps Steve

Lovely mate much help

Hi Greg. It's absolutely superb, It moves more weight than I thought it would, the battery also lasts longer than I anticipated, I've charged it twice since the build, The first initial charge lasted around 6 weeks, I probably covered around 2.5 - 3 miles which took the charge down to just over 50% I had to recharge to 100% before taking it away for a week to eye kettleby lakes in Leicestershire. I'm still on that 2nd charge 5 weeks later with the battery at over 80%. In a nutshell, no I'd not change anything. The only advice I'd give Is, if like me you're not 100% committed to keeping some sort of cover over the electronics you might want to seal the battery in a waterproof box of some description. Thanks for the kind comments Greg. Tight lines Steve

Good news mate glad your hard work paid off! that battery is really impressive! You've defo made me consider building one. This design is handy with the ss plates no welding required, I was thinking of powering it with Makita batteries as I have loads for work and could go down the 36v route, higher voltage lower current for the same watts I guess 👌 subscribed Steve good to see your other videos

If you take lots of gear for overnighters etc and you goto places where you can't park next to your peg I'd say get it built mate 😄 Also a great idea to utilise your power tool batteries 👌🏻 Thanks for the sub, not the best producer but I try to keep everything honest and genuine. Tight lines Steve

@@BivvyLife thanks, tight lines Steve 👍

Hi michael. I've been looking at the elite hooks, they must be the dogs danglies because their budget hooks are really good. It also happens I need some kickers so will put and order in very soon. Thanks for the feedback pal. Steve

@ I thought the budget hooks a little to heavy plus I’ve hade to sharpen them all. There a heavy gage wire the elite ones are more like the standard Korda or other main dealers. And sharper.

I've only used the Crank type but very happy with them, extremely sharp, lovely pattern and strong although there are stronger. It's all about managing expectations for me though and at £1.50 per 10 they're incredible.

I was having a conversation with a mate of mine last week about it. He said he'd popped into the tackle shop for a few bits of terminal tackle, he left the shop £70 lighter with hardly anything to show for it. Bad times. Steve

Mate, you know it's in your DNA to hunt down a bargain. Get yourself on it 😄

@BivvyLife i will defo order some and give them a go pal

Nice 1 pal, let me know how you get on 👍🏻

Hi Wayne. Contact me via: [email protected]

That's good to know, I've literally only used their hooks but I'll deffo be putting an order in soon for done other bits. Have you tried their lead free leader? I've got a spool here but not tried it yet. Steve

@BivvyLife No I haven't, but used lots of terminal tackle and PVA products.

The chod safety system, think I’ve paid £1.80 for 10x of each piece now that’s value for money and worth a try. Thanks for the video @BivvyLife 👍

Have you used the cod safety system?

@@BivvyLife not theirs yet but I’ve ordered some, pictures look exactly the same as the Korda ones

Absolutely not, It's not something I enjoyed doing :-)

I've not come across those yet pal, do you own some?

@@BivvyLife Yes, these ones - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppiseqSnltuGn5I Good value, lots of features and the quality is OK at the price. Wont be built as well as the Fox ones - still got a couple of fox microns from about 20yrs ago. I just liked the idea of a receiver and a bivvy light as I like to fish through the night.

I see what you mean about these, very similar design, the shape, the front speaker etc 👍🏻

Hi mate. It usually works out at 1x medium egg per 100g of dry mix. 700g of dry mix with 7-8 eggs will give you around 1kg of finished boilies. Hope this helps. Steve

@BivvyLife thanks steve.....fed up of paying tackle shop prices for bait you have no clue what is in them and shelf life baits that rott on the bottom of the lake

Not knowing or trusting what was in off the shelf big boilie brands was probably the main reason I researched making my own, the secondary thing was the price point of the big brands. All the best Steve

Hi Steve. Thanks for the kind words, I really enjoyed this 5 day break it was great to spend time with Lolly and the rest of the family, she was really interested to see how the tackle worked, and also enjoyed just being out there sitting under that shelter. I think most kids would've been bored within an hour or so. All the best Steve

I'm now using a rear pva attachment but yes there are many ways around it other than sticks 😩
