mhopton 807 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Decided at long last to sort out and make a small probe for when we ferreting,as myself and rc1 have gone with out one for some time now and forever going on about making one to suit our needs. After trying to find something descent to try and follow I give up and just went ahead with what I had in mind of what was needed. Well have a look it's simple but that's all that's needed, would like a few comments of you guys n girls on what you think . ATB mark Ps these will retail at just £2.500 that's right folks £2.500 fee p+p haaaaaa pmsl haa Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Looks a bit thick bud, but if you happy with it.. I made one out of a skinny road spike from wickes for about 2 quid. Just a basic short T bar with a nut tacked on the end. I must have used it mmm, at least once... A mate uses a big flat head screwdriver with most of the blade ground down, says he can feel the break through fine with it. Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 BPR i reckon you dont see the need, my mate who is a blacksmith made me this one, 19 inches lonf fits in the bottom of my old Post Office bag,doesnt really add weight, only used it a couple of times, but did the job, if I need it, its there, and it cost me zilch.
