Mr Wilkes 3,012 Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Sometimes I think we over complicate it, a simple fork , rubber and a pouch does just as well in the right hands. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Troutslayer 141 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Gona try naturals for myself. Atm the cheaper plywood versions seem to work better for me. Although I do like the idea of sourcing one myself and banding it up. Nice shooting Mr Wilkes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get yourself off to Tesco and buy a roll of double sided tape from their stationary section. Cut a couple of tabs and stick 'em to the front of the forks. Position your bands, press 'em firmly onto the frame and voila, they're held in place while you concentrate on getting your wrap and tuck done. Cheers I will give this method a go.
