Crikey Graham, that picture must be very old. You still have your own teeth there.
Nicely put together.
No there not, there Bibbys, they hang to the right

How you doing mate? No luck finding us a local tench shangri-la then?
Bizarrely as I couldn't find any decent tinca waters early season, I ended up down the Lugg (for the first time) on opening day. What a lovely river! A proper stalking water... nearly as nice as the Teme .
I had 5 barbel and 3 chub on my first visit to a Wye & Usk stretch near Hereford. Not quite as exciting as watching your float lifting above a stream of bubbles, but it did for me.
Hope you're well, cu on the Severn
Graham,
Nice article. Question for you - what is that clip/hook device your swivel is connected to just below the tail rubber? Useful to be able to switch hooklengths quickly and I can see I could make use of that. Do you cover that with silicon tubing too?
