Roving Bag/Rucksack?

[Rusty]

Thanks for the replies all.

 

I think Tigger's belt looks great for a tenner all in so that's got to be worth a look. The problem with a big rucksack is that a lot of the banks where I fish are wire fenced (barbed on top) with styles to get to the swims. I didn't realise how big 40 litres was until it was on someone's back, think I need something smaller.

I did ok, I'd earmarked a tiny stream no more than two foot wide in places to dangle lobs, it just looked so Perchy. With a little divine intervention I managed to be in the right spot just before first light. No monsters but a first cast 1lb 5oz and then another six throughout the day gradually getting smaller. Within 10 yards I could alternate between the Perch swim and a long trot for Chub (which only produced a chublet) so I did that all day swapping from one to the other, great fun.

 

 

 

Lol there is a god after all eh? well done on the Stripey`s Chris ,I spent the day in the boat with a mate on the Thames and struggled badly ,tried several spots for no return then the heavens opened so we rushed to shelter under the nearby bridge to have a cup of Tea and decided to throw the deabait rods out as we sheltered there and as i set the baitrunner after casting out the first rod it was away big style well made me jump .

One little jack was the result and we stayed there for the rest of the day in the dry catching nowt hey hoh Steve.

I use a Korum bait and bits bag, the large size (see on this page: http://www.korum.co.uk/luggage.php). It is not waterproof - it doesn't even have a sealable top. But the fact it's always open is great for quick and easy access. If it rains, I just put it somewhere sheltered. It suits me very well, but may not be what you're looking for.

Oh My GAWD!!!

 

Well done on breaking your duck on this venue - just downstream of where you were is a known chub hotspot (need to fish it from the other bank though!)

Thanks Chris (and for the help), I was hoping that the third trip in as many weeks wouldn't be another blank.

 

Timsbury this Sunday, in anticipation of a long wet day and getting home late I've taken Monday off so I'll be trying some of the more managable shorter river stretches (if my bag's dried out).

I know where that is!

My current batch of bags i use for roving

 

 

in the early days though it was carrier bags i used ,then i started using those heavy duty work haversacks in conjunction with a tiny little folding criss-cross stool thingy

 

 

then there was the flight / vanity bags that where great but a tad bulky ,one for coarse fishing ,one for barbel

 

 

in reasent years i've been using this little bag / purse thingy ,as it fits nicely under my coat so stays as dry as i do ,and carries everything nearly that i need

 

fully loaded with two clam shell boxs ,one for weights ,one for verious connectors for ledgering etc ,hoos in packets ,loose hooks in magnetic box ,verious tools and a few floats (chubba's) if needed .and it can be used with either the belt clip or straps

 

but i've recently got hold of these bags ,(on offer £3.99) from garage with fuel ,they make great fishing bags loads of little pockets and a deceptivley large inner compartment and it should still fit under me coat ,i've made one bag up for me nephew and if i find time ,i'll do the other one for me.and move all my bits over too it and my float case and still have room for a centrepin inside

 

 

i usually these days take a folding stool with a cooler bag under the seat ,i sometimes use the bag for the items i cant fit in me little bag ,or just stick me marsbars and coke bottles in there with a couple of cobs.

 

 

and a esp bait belt and folding net finishes the set up
