No worse, his is made of steel and only one tab,theoretically you could drill a hole and bolt it together once you want it to hold proper weight I spotted a set of dexion shelves in a skip up the road ,they were narrow only about a foot wide with steel shelves .I bagged it but realised they were to long to go where I wanted them . Being steel I cut off 6" from all the shelves with a angle grinder and bolted it back together ,I have no doubt if you did have a chieften engine it would hold it

Have you still got your huge collection of reels Chesters? Was it intrepid reels ?

I have dexion shelving in my shed (the gkids call it my shop) very strong but due to the weight on it (mostly many flavours of fizzy drinks cans ((bubblegum flavour is the favourite this month )) it's sagged trapping my tool box . I don't keep tackle outside (safe area but I don't take chances) so live in the loft but my intrepid collection lives in the bedroom (Mrs loves waking up to see them .......not!) In my corner and my pc desk is my work bench so the Mrs punishes me by "tidying" everytime I play on it (usually when I'm in the shed hunting for some special tool to fix something Something going on in the shed all was fine yesterday but for some reason the window now has the most spider web I have ever seen I think a family has moved in on, I have to spray round the cameras tomorrow (anyone with CCTV will know the problem ) so they will get a bit aswell . The buggers have acreas all round the house but they just love annoying me ,i dont bother them in the fields why do they find the need to dangle on my cameras setting off the motion sensing I had to shut the gate so the foxes didn't do it now it's bloody spiders at least the door bell is left alone so it gives its little beep when someone creeps up the garden .Once winter comes things improve. I have put a brace on the back stretch of dexion but I cannot do the front edge or the drawers won't slide out I may have to screw wood to it obviously the 3/4" thick shelves are to bendy. My son bought some off some shopping channel pretty simple to instal but badly designed ,you bash the horizontal bits into the uprights with a mallet but it's only supported with a little tab that's pressed out that locates into a slot .it seems ok but I wouldn't trust it with any real weight on it unlike dexion and it's bolts and braces . PS my Mrs would "tidy" the **** out of your mancave ,you wouldn't find a bloody thing

I had to abort my trotting for barbel today due to conditions of the river, but rather than miss out on a days fishing I visited another venue and targeted chub instead. These chub fight really hard and are difficult to stop from getting into the bankside vegetation. Because of this I used a hardy marksman supero 11ft avon rod and it was perfect for the job. Here's a couple of pic's from some of the swims I dropped into....

Never used a feeder ,I bought a bag of 20 mixed size ones (those old style ones with the lead strip along one side) from Gerry's of Wimbledon ? (Think that was the mail order of the time) but to date never used one ,never even used a PVA bag I am far to tight to throw bait away . Unfortunately all attempts to cure hook wounds from maggots have failed so I cannot even use the last maggot on the hook and bandage it up for next time An unfortunate bit of "just in case "thinking that went wrong
