    Thanks black,good weights.Do you cook and eat them,i saw jeremy wade noodling for them in some southern state on TV,the guys he fiahed with said they taste great but i imagined cats would taste muddy?

    The test curve is the weight required to bend a rod to 90 degrees,for minimum and maximum line strengths miltiply T/c X3 for minimum and X6 for maximum,thats the rule of thumb inwas taught anyway.I saw a guy last year targetting carp with an uptide rod and 80lb breaking strain braid,he was trying for 100+ carp though,and stood a good chance of hooking bigger fish of different species.

    So from the looks of those jars they are or look like what we call Buko coconut,when we used to get coconuts when i was a kid they were old hard white interiors,if you chop a fresh one down the interior is like a white jelly you scoop outbwith a spoon,is that a virgin coconut?

    My mate steve has fished for those,he spends most winters in tallahassee fishing,i think he has tried for them in belize as well when he stayed with sue harris,he said they are incredible fighters and well worth the effort to get over there and fish for.

    Mood Boost

    mackem replied to tillylamp's topic in General Talk

    I dont have mood swings,very very rare i feel down unless one of my kids isnt doing so good at school,if thats the case i just walk along the river,sit on one of the benches and watch the water swirl and eddy.Its a mood lifter,atmospheric.

    One mans normal is anothers abnormality,if we were all the same what a sterile world it would be,we need people who are a little different to add colour,though theres a trannie in hersham with a 5 O'clock shadow wears a dress and high heels who aint fooling anyone.
