    Wellies

    My Muckboots, the Arctic Sport version, appear to be leaking, which is a bit disappointing given I've only had them two years. Someone has mentioned Grubs to me, which look very similar.

    Rolling the meat

    Managed a couple of fish doing this today, just using a swivel and a few swan shot as a weight in a slow moving peg. I've heard the plasticine method is best for this method though, what do all you meat rollers out there do?
