    Hooks

    Cheers guy, I do subscribe to the you get what you pay for thing, however I seem to be blunting expensive hooks really quickly and just fancied an alternative. Has anyone else had issues getting the hair to hang correctly on these aggressively curved patterns such as the mugga?

    Hooks

    I know it's all been done before, but things change so I'm asking the question again.... I have been using the mugger pattern for a while now, but sometimes struggle to get the hair to hang right, particularly with smaller hair rigged baits. I made the switch to talon tips and these have...

    How Far ?

    20 mins is my maximum! I generally only have a window of about 3-4 hours in which to fish, therefore the less time spent driving..... That said, I am spoilt as Joe says above - t'aint far to any of them

    The mystery of the lower Severn

    Good to see you back on here Bruce I have dedicated a lot of time to the Lower in the last season or 2 with mixed success. Given the choice of a short drive to more prolific waters, there is something about the Lower that makes me want to return time after time. A fish caught on the Lower...

    Large rig board

    Greys do a good one too worth checking out. It also has rounded ends like the korum one, but the pegs that hold them in place are a much tidier design than the pins. chris

    An Interesting Bite and Fight??

    I recall a similar experience. I was fishing the stick float on the near side when the float dragged under, I struck and the float was snagged on the bottom. As I pulled for the break, I felt a thud through the rod and the fish moved off.... It steadily swam directly across the flow for about...
