    Chair or not?

    i never bother with a chair these days, i've got an rbb lure vest that i hang my unhooking mat of the back off so it swings under my arse as i sit down, all the gear in the pockets, nice light and mobile, but i do tend to fish short sessions and wander around not sit in a peg for hours

    was once told the same about a water that's just up the road from me, never bother with mag and caster the bits will play you up all day, 1st thing i did was go and buy a gallon of maggots and half gallon of casters, rubber caster on the hook and caught 76 tench in just over 24hrs on the bank

    Birmingham Anglers Association

    they need to run it how you do kinver steve!! Not just a day ticket free for all, and only allow them on a handful of beats that can be policed efficiently, the worst thing they used to do was sell those booklets for a quid a piece to anyone and everyone with all gate codes included

    pike traces

    I've always made my own because i don't think that any single tackle company makes a complete range that suits my fishing. I always end up using bits from at least 3 different companys. Have a good night tonight steve and tell my lil bro to behave himself!! And beware of record breaking...
