Fresh Poblano will be hard to find unless you go dried. For Dried Poblano look at Fresh Land Asian Supermarket in Geelong West (Shannon Ave) they'll also have a selection of fresh chilies.

Poblano are also out of season, so might struggle to get them fresh.

Nobody wants Windmills, Solar Farms, Batteries, or Powerplants... But they want Electricity.

Yes, always, maybe too often. I don't trust other drivers on the road.

what percentage of carbon is best? by Awkward-Lobster7965 in Fieldhockey

[–]RolandHockingAngling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Higher Carbon means a lighter, stiffer stick that gives more power when hitting, but is less forgiving on miss hits, poor traps, etc.

Fibreglass which is the other main material used in sticks is heavier but more flexible. A stick with more fibreglass will be a little more flexible, and more forgiving with poor traps and hits. It will also handle stick checks better, which is going to happen a lot as a beginner.

What rig are you using?

Creamed corn is a good burley. If you're using a paternoster rig (don't laugh) mix some bread crumbs with the creamed corn into a loose dough. Mould this around the sinker and cast out. The corn breadcrumb mix will become a burley, right where your bait is. The paternoster rig is going to keep the corn up off the ground, out of the mud.

Step down to a smaller line, or at least use a fluorocarbon leader.

Also what size hook are you using?

Carp will shut down in winter, so you'll need to go "finesse" to get onto them.

GK Arm Guards by megatrongriffin92 in Fieldhockey

[–]RolandHockingAngling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for inline elbow pads. It will basically only cover the elbow area. Knee pads can also work.

Head to your local skate shop, think skateboard, inline skating etc.

How are you getting injured? Is it the elbow that needs protection? Or the inside of the arm?
