cheers i'll have a look on the fly forum. bubbie

hello all.I have been given quite a substancial collection of flies.I don't fly fish myself but do regular coarse fishing.i have a decent understanding of fishing off the surface,and was wondering if i could use these flies to catch rudd an perch etc,with coarse rods and reels alla dog biscuit style and controller floats. or would i be better off picking up a cheap fly rod and have a go with that instead. cheers bubbie

i have the terry hearn chair aswell,but i got it for 40 quid from anglers world newcasle,it is very good .very sturdy.

So the fatter green tip is the one i should use to catch roach an rudd and the stiffer red tip is my heavy tip for ledgering and larger feeder fishing.cheers for the link m8 it's a belter. goodluck and tightlines bubbie

I have only been course fishing for about 2 years so am still learning my trade.i bought myself a match rod and a feeder rod the latter is my problem . i have 3 tips for it .it is a ron thompson b52 feeder my tips are red carbon very stiff and 2 fibre tips orange middle tip which is quite flexible and a green tip which is very flexible.i know they are wieghted but which is the lighter and heavier tip,and for which tip is for silverfish and tench,bream carp etc.any help would be appreciated. p.s. which one is for light work small feeder etc. bubbie.

hello and thanks for the input in the case of tinned maggots as bait i thought there was a gap in the market,i myself have the usual assortment of baits in me bag.tinned sweetcorn vacum packed boilies,meat etc,but i would have thought tinned maggots an casters of various flavours would have been an ideal bait.especially when u ain't been to the tackle shop and want to pop out fishing it would be a very good idea.and as for the freezer my wife would break my fingers if i put my maggots in the freezer or fridge .I have posted before a few times as the bubster,but my account was closed for some reason.but thanks anyway. the bubster.

It has come to my attention that bait manufacturers have missed a good thing.you can get your boilies,sweetcorn and hemp tinned and flavoured so what about canned maggots and casters.you could have floating casters and sinkers in different tins dead maggots of differing flavours and colours.the shelf life of these maggots and casters could be for years.so when you want to go fishing you dont have to rely on bait shops.me myself would buy such an item and have assorted tins of bait in my bag of tackle.there has always been times i have wanted to go fishing and have went for maggots casters and there have been none (usually the summer months).so what about it would you peeps as fisherman use such a product,how much would you be prepared to pay for such an item and what do u think in general of the idea. cheers an tightlines the bubster.
