Are you sure you haven't forgotten any, lol. Just out of interest adrian, do you run mono with a fluro leader?, if so, how much leader do you use?. I would imagine the fluro would be to help the lure sink a bit

I use the Stealth FC (fluorocarbon) as my leader, 450 mms long. the weight of the spinners are enough to drop the lure.. Also it depends on the depth of water and the speed of it as well.. deeper water I use the #0 (2.5gm) & #1 (3.5 gm), shallow water the #00 (1.5gm)

Today after seeing the orthopedic surgeon, I was in & out of there within five minutes..

Hips have arthritis but no need for replacements which was great news.. The bad news was the fact my L3, L4 & L5 discs

are just about non existent and need urgent attention, so now I have to see a spine specialist or neurosurgeon..

I have another dose of injections tomorrow so will see my doctor and ask why the hell I wasn't I referred to those specialists
first up..
Actually it was a woman doctor at the surgery who organised the appointment, so I gather he will she why she didn't follow this up.. So 14 months of waiting to see this surgeon today has just been a waist of time & a 50 kilometre drive. The only good thing is I was up and about for quite a few hours today, much better than previous days..

"NOT HAPPY JAN" that's for sure.. :dn: :dn:
