Rig Winders Tip...........

feeds@yuku.com (graylinghunter) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:52:32 GMT

For the last few years I have used various rig winders. The Orvis model

was my first choice for quite a while but doing a little sea fishing this last year has opened up some new very cheap options.

Tronix

Just a heads up
Seen this on a sea fishing forum they look just like the frog hair pimps to me just loads cheaper

Coudveil 8x pro Gore-tex wader

feeds@yuku.com (graylinghunter) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 20:32:22 GMT

I have just purchased a pair of the above waders.
In construction they are seamed and manufactured from the same material as Simms G3s. The construction is of a very high standard and seam tape appears to be the same.
These waders have fully detachable straps and have a draw string around the chest just in case
you wade a little too deep. Why have I changed from...

Trout from a boat Dennis Moss

The book classically made me feel at home with the anglers thoughts. Although not definitive it explores most fishing situations and attempts to answer the fundamental issues one faces whilst...

Snowbee Zr2 10 foot 3/4 rod

feeds@yuku.com (graylinghunter) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 21:06:56 GMT
