    Fox Specialist Brolly

    Oops sorry Wayne a typo ! yes it's a 4 rod quiver, i've got three rod on the brain cos of my old Wychwood that was a 3 rod, the rod butt pockets on the NGT are smaller, the quiver itself is pretty much the same size as my old Wychwood in all other respects, but the build quality 'feels' better...

    Bait and wait ?

    I always bait and wait Joe, and i don't think i do too bad ! but then i probably do things a bit different than most, for instance i never put bait in before i cast out, it's a No No ! I cast... or lower if i can - then i bait and wait, also the amount of bait i fish over would i guess be...
