tillylamp 1,830 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Got back to blighty yesterday,missus is on a bit of a downer,let us know how you get on with the ice-fishing tilly,maybe a few pics?i got a nice beautifully balanced ice-fishing kit,Abu Garcia,for £18,a friend is inviting me over in feb to shoot so hopefully get a chance to test my rod out as all the local waterways will be frozen solid,be lucky. hi mack, what did you get in your kit? that's an amazing price, so cheap, mind you pretty much all the fishing gear here is so cheap.tilly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,886 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I just got the rod and reel combo tilly,I have a box of jelly lures and leadheads,jigs and stuff already.Its easy to fill a small lure-box cheaply enough in walmart,as you rightly stated its cheap,the dollar was 2 to the sterling last week so it didnt dent the wallet,my biggest expenditure was a canada-goose jacket for the missus.Good luck over the winter,and hope you pop up a few ice fishing pics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
