Honestly!
The first time I've ever asked a serious question on the carp forum (well, maybe there's haev been others) and all you get is crazy answers of gear that was used in the 1960s. Trust BC to go back to neolithic methods, par boiled potatoes indeed.
Thank you Trev Matthews though. I do have some Nash lightweight swingers. I bought them off Ebay for the stainless banks stick brackets which are the only bits to fit on Solar gear. I've had the monkey climbers too, threw them out about 15 years ago now.
I was looking more for tips on which touse under either certain conditions or with different methods, like slack line fishing or tight and clipped up.
