  2. Mine were the Esk and the lad I worked with had the Tay ones which were just as bad . I remember reading on a fishing forum a few years back that muc boots failed some kind of safety grip test over in the states .
  3. Don't know if they are the biggest but AFW do some 4/0 ones that are 350lb rated. The shop rok-max do some sampo ones with an higher breaking strain but don't know what the size is
  4. Paul blackledge used to have a stuffed ginger one in his back room
  5. Mine lasted 4 months on the farm before I binned them . They are comfy but the grip was rubbish on wet concrete around the yard and once they had worn a bit they were just as bad in the fields
  6. I'll be ultra lighting for chub and perch aswell and my usual barbel fishing
  7. F - flys did well for me last season on the rivers . klinkhammers are also worth using . I don't use wets or nymphs if I can help it but the spider patterns and hares ears caught me fish when I had to use them
  8. I had a go on the canal a few years back and caught on flys I'd knocked up with tinsel off the Christmas tree . Didn't get anything of any size but I did catch . It's not really any different to lure fishing in that if you put a fly or lure in front of a pikes nose they will more often than not just react and take it rather than think about it .
  9. Yes still got the gear . Where abouts are you based and what model delks are they
  10. Im looking to swap a like new drennan silverfish 13ft float rod and ready rod sleeve , shimano exage 3000sfd reel and daiwa 125m closed faced reel plus bait smock , landing net and a bit of terminal tackle for a pair of either delkim ev's or pluses or maybe steve nevilles . Either pick up from accrington or I could deliver/meet depending on distance
  11. I only use floating lines as 90% of my fly fishing is dry fly . I use the cortland 444 peach floater in 5 weight for rivers and small stillwaters and 7 weight for bigger waters . I also use a greys platinum 3 weight on brooks but its not as good as the cortland 444
  12. I dont know why more shops dont sell them , its not like they are any more expensive than the cheap and nasty shads most shops sell . Anybody looking for a good range of soft plastics should have a look at AGM products and lure world (who also do mikado fishunters) . Manns action shads from soveriegn superbaits are also good in all sizes
  13. Anything with yellow will be good for perch . Another cheap soft plastic to to try is the relax kopyto shad . They might look like just another shad but they are very soft and have a top action . Ive had loads of perch and pike on the yellow and the white ones
  14. the ibf have ordered a rematch within 90 days
  15. Ive used them and maxi mingers and caught on them everywhere i tried them .The minis are very small , only about 3in long and 27 gram so they are ok on shallow venues but if your fishing deep water a springdawg or bulldawg size lure will be a better bet .The pike shop sell some dawg copys that are cheap but decent quality . My favourite dawg copy was the now discontinued fox shallow devient , if you can find any of them they are well worth getting.
  16. Mk3m finder and 3 magnetic collars for sale . Collected from accrington or could meet/deliver upto an hour away . If you want pics I can email them . £180
  17. Ive used helle and mora for years but im hoping to get a joonas kallioniemi puuko or lance ockenden pocket pal in the new year
  18. All my permissions in yorkshire have been wiped out this year
