CushtyJook 1,097 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Glasgow angling centre will have everything you want you want and there deliveries are usually spot on cushty, they get decent choice of gear and tackle aswell, may be cheaper places online but I like them Thanks mate I'll have a look got snagged tonight a few times and ended up loosing around eight leads and hooks and haven't got nout left hook wise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fellman Mark 607 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I personally would rather buy the better quality hooks and line and there's nothing worse than losing a good fish possibly the fish of a life time after sitting there for hours waiting for a take all to save a few quid 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 They have hooks to you in a day or 2 pal, stock up that's what I do, nowt worse than wanting to go out and not having any hooks or anything. Out interest you ever tried a hand line? Exactly I wanted to go out again tommorw evening I was out since 3 a clock today tried a few spots along the river but no good to many dog walkers letting there dogs jump in the river so finally got to the spot where I fished last night and there's kids swimming in the river having a bbq so just waited and hour for them to pack up started fishing and hooked two more trout lost one on the bank as I was about go grab it and the other I banked and lucky I packed my de gouger this time and got the hook out and released the fish And no never tried a hand line have you we used to leave out lines with hooks on and worms then walk up river fishing come back and have a few trout on them also that's back when we knew a pub That would buy the trout of us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Aye wee handline are handy as fcuk to have cushty if you don't want folk to see rod, give me 5 mins and I try find and sort a link out, easy to make tho or cheap to buy Might give one a go love doing all the old poaching stuff I always take a telescopic road with me in a backpack normally little Tupperware thing with the basic equipment in and small tub of worms bit of food knives lighters stuff like that cattypult sometimes take my bivvy and stay overnight cooking what ever I catch poacher who was from round here used to kill a rabbit slice it open and leave it hanging over the water and when the maggots started falling out it would get the trout feeding on the same spot all the time and he would catch them easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
