Are you using multiples of THIS kind of thing Keith?Buy smaller, focused boxes guys.
Bigger ones just fill up with jigs and get very heavy.
Cheers Ben, I'll have a look into the fly box thang, the life-jacket might have to wait just yet!I have all of my smaller jigheads on a small fly box!!! Hook the points in to the foam and off you go. Not packets, no getting caught up in boxes....
Other than that, everything just gets slipped in to the pockets of my Mustad lifejacket. Soft baits in one pocket, hardbaits and a spool of leader opposite, then a packet of clips, a couple of hooks and anything slightly larger fits in to the others. Its fairly well laid out.
Until all the zips and fittings rot from the saltwater.A fly waistcoat will also do the same job.
Yep, but in 3 months, you've done as much fishing as most of us will do in a season, and i'll settle for a seasons use out of most itemsUntil all the zips and fittings rot from the saltwater.
I'm moving towards specific LRF and HRF boxes, waistcoats or whatever.
Thing is, I fish alot. Paul B suggested we need industrial strength gear. He's likely not wrong.
We eat waders, boots and my Sakura Koa is knackered after 3 months use.
Got to look for harder wearing AND more functional stuff.
If I can't find it, I'm going to make it, or have it made.
If they last longer, i'll start to get twitchy - what will i buy in the winter ??? :shock:
I've already gone down the specific HRF/LRF kit road. Just impulse bought a fly waistcoat - £25 quid delivered so not a big deal if it only lasts a season - for the LRF gear. I'm not so able to go species specific here, at the mo at least, so I'll get a few more bits boxes and try that out.Tim:
I have about 8 boxes all full of stuff from jigs, clips, vib baits, little plugs, crankbaits, small plastics etc but for different weight ranges.
Problem we have is, what do you leave behind ?
As we get more able to 100% focus upon a target species, this becomes easier. As in the case of HRF Bass and Wrasse. Requirements and weight ranges are pretty much the same.
Of course Simon. I agree.Yep, but in 3 months, you've done as much fishing as most of us will do in a season, and i'll settle for a seasons use out of most items
