In my day, it meant something that you really wouldn't want to associate with angling.

Further to Eltons reply, it might have something to do with Rizlas and a certain exotic substance that rhymes with pope!!!

It's a desperately clever reference to Gardner's coated braid hooklinks, mate.

'Stealthskin' etc. The products are excellent - that advertising schtique....'isn't'.
And on the eighth day God created carp fishing...and he saw that it was pukka.
