    Bradford on Avon

    Swingtips

    In years gone by, I found that the old swingtips worked beautifully for roach fishing, when there was just a gentle pull on the river. Especially when fishing bread. I snagged some old school quiver, swing and springtips a few years back. I really need to put the springtips into use again.

    Retro baits

    Hinders Elips Pellets

    Cast out with them and reel in after 10 minutes. The scent of the pellet will have gone.

    It’s back !!
