Snatchers week tackle trade

[Glasgowdan]

Hi guys, Im hoping to head down for a day or two in june, and wondered if anyone might be interested in trading up anything... I know i personally am looking for a couple of casting reels, penns hopefully, and could probably find a bunch of things I dont need. If we had enough items we could turn it into a small tackle auction for an hour or two one evening... anyone interested in this?

Glasgowdan,may have a new Penn 525 Mag around £80 if you are interested.Over during "Snatcher's Week In June".

Hi Glasgowdan,will have all of my fishing gear up to the caravan by June but cannot think of anything I need to part with at the mo. Its a good idea though.

How are you off for bass and pollack flies cos I know a guy at Drummore who might sell some to you

Looking forward to meeting you all in June team. Please do not tell my missis how many folk may be kipping in the caravan though!

[Glasgowdan]

sounds ok to me. ill keep in touch with you guys and arrange when u are all fishign etc. I know you are all kind of boating it but ill need to try from the shore. gannet...Ill keep that in mind about the reel, im def interested

Glasgowdan just boating for tope with Ian Burrett on Thurs 23June. We are all shore chuckers mate.

I will be popping/flyfishing for bass. Will have a go for the mullet on light gear as well. May well have at least half a day for tope off the shore so that means a few hours at the end of the Mull for mackerel the day before. Also partial to spinning for pollack off the rocks and float fishing for wrasse. There is also conger from the shore and a loch fairly close with large pike and perch in. There are also trout lakes closeby

The rest of the crew are the same when you can prise them away from the bar!

If you are not familiar with the local marks we will keep you right. Bring it on

[Glasgowdan]

No bother... Ill probably have a penn 535 and a 25gls boat reel to get rid of...

 

Ill bring an array of tackle for a bit of everything then, it will just be the weekend im about but im sure that will be long enough to show you all how to fish!

Snatcher what kind of rod/reel do you use for the poppers/flies you make? Ive been experimenting with a small multiplier and a light spinning rod using surface poppers ready for the warmer weather. I figured it would be good casting practice for me with a multiplier Do you use a similar set up for the saltwater flies? or do i need to invest in a fly rod/reel as well? Dang this fishing hobby is expensive

[Manxman]

You can always use a small bubble float with a fly 5-6 feet behind it skippy, to save buying a fly rod and reel.

It is a good way to get a fly out that bit further.

Years ago I used a jif lemom with a redgill behind it, deadly

[Snatcher]

Skippy good advice from Manxman. Try conroller floats in different sizes as well. Tight lines.

That Penn 525 Mag(new)is now £75.I shall have a good selection of Duel Aile Mag and Yo-Zuri bass lures with me if anyone is interested a percentage of the cost going to the RNLI.
