If I publicly admit to being excited by a rucksack it's all over.
Got it for £115 and it'll hopefully last 4 seasons, so fingers crossed it'll be money well spent and earn its keep. I am firmly in the school of 'right tools for the job' and 'you get what you pay for'.
I did buy last...
Very nice rucksacks (love the 'tactical pants'!) but sadly too small for me. I need sleeping bag, dslr, 2 days of food, water, 3 layers of winter clothing and tackle to fit.
Had a look at army issue bergens but this is what I went for in the end as a bit cheaper...
I have a couple of copies of the Johnson Ross and Tacklebox catalogues floating about the house.
Having just spent 400 quid on new reels, a new rucksack and 'bits and bobs' in the past few weeks I think it's fair to say I spend more money on fishing tackle than anything else these days bar the...
Agree it's not built to last multiple seasons no. I buy a new one about every 18 months, which is fine by me as it's cheap.

That's fantastic Ian, very well done indeed!
I've never had a good perch so can imagine how satisfying that is after working hard to get one. Brilliant!
For sale is a rod holdall I really bought to protect rods whilst in storage. It's perfect - aside from some mud from my garage floor which will brush off if I could be bothered!
Great quality bit of kit if you're off to France with rods you need to sling in a van as it can take 6 rods fully...
hi there
I'm having a bit of a clear out and I've been hanging on to this for ages as it's comfortable and very light. I used to carry it for about a mile when fishing a certain venue and it's great because of the weight and it folds up so compactly ease of carrying.
But its got to go because...
hi there
As above does anyone have an old copy of the John Baker book they don't need anymore?
Condition not massively important I'd just like to read it.
Please get in touch.
Many thanks.
cheers, simon
