Efgeeco Tackle Boxes & old rubbish.

[Dick Dastardly]

I tell you what was good about the old style creels,you could empty out the contents and stick them in the water as a table for putting your groundbait bowl on when wading!Cant do that with a plastic box.

 

Never had an Efgeeco seat/box but have still got my Stephens version and still use it! as anyone at Timsbury would have seen!

 

In fact a right mixture of gear I had that day! a state of the art carbon trotting rod,a 30 year old centrepin,a 25 year old seat box and the bank sticks/landing net equiped with the new Pro Logic connectors! Best of all worlds,both old and new I reckon.

Peter, I think the considered advice is to soak the basket in water for a day or so, and then allow it to drain off.

No Budgie, but you can fill a plastic box up with water!

 

Take a crafty dump in a whicker basket and you risk splinters and cleaning up later is a pain. No such problems with a plastic box!!

Thanks Den. Had considered that but once dry thought I might be back at square one. Nothing to loose by trying it though. Nice one! Cleaned the pond out yesterday, knew I had a secondary motive for doing it .

That is very uncouth Mr Waller! any way thats what a live bait buckets for!

[Dick Dastardly]

Oh and re soaking the wicker creel.Dens quite right.It takes a long time for it to dry out sufficently for it to become loose again.

[Peter Waller]

But carpies don't have livebait buckets Budgie!

The creel is already in the pond!

Then why do they bother fishing for them? demon

Quality over age in my opinion!

They are quality though!
