Just got a telling off from my wife,she was disciplining the kidds as i was bustting my gutts with giggles. She thought i was laughing at her ranting.
Tried to explain the artical,but she was too far gone in her tazmainian devil impression.
Anyway, ive got tubs,bags,storage bins full of odds and sodds.
Then theres my coarse tackle,pike,carp,fly and sea tackle boxes and rods,two folding carp chairs,chair with built in bag,3 landingnets.
Then the 9 rods,I did sell lots of poles,whips,rods,bags ,holdalls seat box,bank sticks,keep nets,landing nets and reels.Why? cos i had too many jusins.
Two years later and im nearly back to where i was before.
At one time i used to carry every item of tackle,justin case.Sort of stems back from my match fishing days.
Now i only take what i know i will need.
A all day session on a lake i will take quite a bit,as long as i can carry it all with ease.On a short session i may only take my quiver holdall,waist coat ,chair,landing net,float and feeder rod.
If im stalking/roving my local river then its one rod,waist coat,shoulder bag and landing net.Odds and sodds in pockets and unhooking matt pushed through the bag straps.
So far ive not had a rod break,a few crack offs and smashed feeders when ive not featherd the line in time before it reaches the bridge,but that was a bad day,you know it all goes pear shapped from the start and goes down hill from there on.
Like when my daughter hooked the landing net,i unhooked it,telling my 7 yr old ,"dont move the rod". You know what happens,dont you? Her first finger fish.
