Below are a few new items I have not long started using. I will review them once I have used them for a longer period of time, normally a half a season or so.

He had been there for a few hours before me, and had already had a few carp, he has quite a strange way of fishing (to me anyway), it involves 20mtrs of pole and 6inches of line, and thats it! He ships the pole over to the island laying it on the water and then just sprays pellets over the top. I find it really hard to comprehend that the method would work, but it does! He caught fish throughout the day ending with the same amount o...
