2012 - UK TOUR EQUIPMENT EVALUATION - PART 2

RECENTLY I PLACED AN ORDER WITH NATHANS OF DERBY FOR A FEW BITS FOR THIS TRIP . I NORMALLY ORDER THROUGH MY 3 MAIN SUPPLIERS IN SCANDANAVIA : METEBUTIKEN ,ITACKLE AND SWEDBAIT BUT I NEEDED TO GET THE GEAR EARLIER AND I KNOW THAT THSE 3 GIANTS OF MATCH TACKLE ARE STILL IN MASS ORDERING PROCESSES , MY ORDER IS COMING LATER WITH THEM.

TOOK AN ORDER FOR SOME GURU CAGE FEEDERS AS LISTENING TO PEOPLE LIKE SEAN HUGGINS IN LEICESTERSHIRE HE WAS TELLING ME THAT MASHED MEAT AND HEMP WITH HAIR RIGGED MEAT IS TOP SCORE AT WHITEACRES.

ALL 4 SIZES ORDERED BUT I THINK I WILL ONLY NEED TO USE THE LIGHTEST 2  - THESE ALSO COULD BE GOOD TO USE ON THE POLE-FEEDER METHOD AS THEY STAND PROUD OF THE BOTTOM.

GOT THE OLD TASTE BUDS GOING WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PRESTON INNOVATIONS DVD ......WATCHED CD1 .....GOT NUMBER 2 TO GO , WHAT CAN I SAY BUT ABSOLUTE COMPULSIVE VIEWING !!

NEEDED SOME NEW TOW-LINE FOR THE TRIP SO I INVESTED IN SOME 5 - 6 LB MAXIMA AND SHIMANO TECHNIUM WHICH I CAN ALSO USE WELL FOR HEAVY RIVER FEEDER FISHING AND WAGGLER 16-22 GRAM STUFF ! (FOR SCANDANAVIAN BREAMING)

DRENNAN CONNECTORS AND MAP VERSIONS PURCHASED TO BE TRIED OUT WHEN FEEDER AND INLINE METHOD FISHING

CATAPULT BAG FROM MAP IS WELL SMART

ESSENTIAL GEAR AS I MASS MANY RIGS FOR THE SEASON

ORDERED A FEW FOR THE SET UP RODS , BUTT AND TIP FROM THOSE RATHER NICE PEOPLE AT PI.

 ALSO TOOK A SUPPLY OF GARBOLINO FEEDERS FOR THE BREAM SEASON OVER HERE. AWESOME WHEN CASTING AND RETURN QUICK TO THE SURFACE WHEN RETREIVING.
