Lidl Items

[gilbo]

There are a few bits coming up from the 9th at Lidl.

 

They have some waders at £4.99 which are worth a look for anyone who wants some light weight waterproof bottoms. They dont have wellies built in but more of a waterproof sock. You could use them in a kayak and wear a pair of wet suit shoes or boots with them.

 

Box of 50 star lights 2.99!

 

Worth a look me thinks.

Are you speaking of that old fairy tale about waders filling with water and dragging you down to drown?

Have a look at them before you decline - they are not waders as I would imagine waders, they are more like a pair of semi dry trousers with built in socks. They come up over the chest.

 

I have a full dry suit and a lighter semi dry trousers and kag for summer but I am getting a set of these. For anyone (as many seem to be on a tight budget) who needs a cheap item for kayak use have a serious look at them.

 

Andymcb - have a good look at them and let me know what you think.

have looked, i can now see what you mean they look fine, light weight as you said. perfect for yakkers on a budget..... i wonder if they are breathable,

I had a tour of the local Lidls to try and get some of them bootless chesties and found just three pairs left. Two pairs XXL and one XL which I bought, just need to grow 6 inches and put on 4 stone but might come in with a bit of butchering

I also got one of the handlines for £2- 99 to replace my homemade one. Just the job for getting Mackerel for bait after replacing the lures supplied with a shrimp rig. If you want to save the hassle of swapping rigs on your rods or just do away with taking another rod altogether for baitcatching, then a handline is an ideal way and I find that when I get a full house they are much easier to handle, and with a bit of practice you can flick the fish off the line into the yak to be dealt with whilst the rest of the line is still over the side.

I bought the waders as a very second spare and may even use them for some of my boat and beach fishing. Handy repair kit came with them.

 

I also bought a couple of them cheap folding stools for beach fishing when I need to travel light - may be handy in the hatch of the kayak if you intend to stop and have a break onshore!

 

The box of lures was a bargain and even though they dont compare to a storm thunderstick I picked them up. Cheap as chips and worth having even just for the box they come in.

 

The handlines is a great suggestion and I may invest in one. I recal changing my rigs last year everytime I saw mid water fish under the kayak - Great suggestion that Nifty

 

A warning though. I was stupid enough to let my boy have a starlight which here then bent so far it split and sprayed him in the eye with the liquid. I found out they contain Hydrogen Peroxide and immiediately flushed his eye with several vials of eye wash. Dont let kids play with them even though they are sold as braclets, necklaces and stuff for kids.

I didn't think a lot of the fishing tackle but did pick up a cool bag for something like £3.99?

It's designed for a bike so has velcro ties to go around the handle bars I used it the other day and fastened the ties onto the yaks cord.It sat alongside me just out of the water but in easy reach.Easily removed when paddling,add a damp tea towel and an ice pack and it's just the thing for live sandeels.

Cheers Jon.
