So I was going through my kit in preparation for a fishing trip on Saturday, and I realise how woefully under equipped I am.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a tackle tart in anyway. Well, not yet. But there are still some parts I really need to get.
My fishing style is to put a carp rod out for large fish, in a fire and forget fashion, and use another more hands on style of fishing.
Float fishing, I have everything I need. Floats, shot, 2 rods, and loads of size 16 and 18 hooks to nylon. So no problems here.
Carp (specimen). I lack method feeders and weights.
Spinning and lures: Ok here, good selection and wire traces.
Feeder/ledger: Lacking method feeders, although I have maggot swim feeders. All the larger hooks I have are pre made hair rigs. I could cut the hairs off and use the hooks naked I guess.
All little things really, but stuff I wont be able to acquire before Saturday.
Taking a friend fishing on Saturday so I will set her up with a float rod with size 18 or 16 hooks. And I will ledger with a maggot feeder at first. But may replace feeder with weight to fish corn.
