Hi.
I havnt been fishing for about 10 years or so apart from the odd time. I have never really been any good but decided to get my tackle back out and do something about it.
Can anyone give me any good places to fish near Blackpool. I know a few fisheries but thought about trying canals.
Also can anyone help me on split shot, i.e. How many BB's to a SSG and so forth.
Many thanks.
Mick

Mick, I think it works out in old language as

1 ssg = 2 aaa
1 aaa = 2 bb
1bb = 2 no4

Could be wrong on the last one though, its not something I think about too often these days!!!!

Theres a lot of grams given for reference but they may as well put the info down in Chinese for all the sense it makes to me. I`ll have a look through one of my old books and see if theres a more comprehensive list.

yeah thats how i work it out. welcome to the site by the way
