2011 March 22nd - Night of the Elastics !

Decided to Elasticate a few tops on the Tourney-Pro.


Set up 2 no8 Preston Slip and a PI No.9 hollow and a PI No.11 hollow (4 tops)

The Browning Dacron connectors complemented the elastic


Also set up a grey Daiwa hollow with an outstanding FOX Dacron connector. The connector is really well made and i found the elastic fitted really well inside the back of the 'bulb' and what a superb idea to have a small roundish blob on the end of the connector for smooth connection.


Used PI 9 and 11    - 8/10

Industry standard  -  10/10


Browning  - 7/10

Fox  -  10/10

Thats enough for the night !

2011 - HOOK LENGTHS - HOW DIFFICULT ?

Purchased a cop version of the Sensas Pieiriotti hook tier recently and started to tie hook lengths , be it with difficulty as i could not keep the lengths the same !! Frustration set in as i tried everything . So i decided to place an article on the TOTAL-FISHING website and gain some useful help , and i got it !
Watched the SKY SPORTS Tight lines programme no.50 of Itunes and Des Shipp and Neil Mckinnon showed how its done .....i simulated their way and now its plain sailing as i completed some 30 lengths in 75 minutes !....

     Afraid the hook tier has been retired !!


Perfect lengths everytime !





Retirement ....it will come in useful later
