Someone posted about lightening the load of tackle we take on another thread.
it inspired me to relearn how to post pics.

i put together a dwarf and light setup so that I can whizz round to my local lake. no loading car or barrow
and walking across the park. I can get to the swim door to door within 10 minutes. Great for dawn and dusk short sessions.

i also bought a trailer to take more kit for longer sessions. i still have the van and bigger kit. but this is getting used more
right now.

dwarf rods and holdall
korum compact ruckbox
trakker nano chair
old evo
nash knx 2 rod pod
old alarms
korum fold up cradle.
pva pouch and rig wallet
small bait bucket
jrc 2 piece landing net
weigh sling
scales

i took out the < and the > in the line above out or it would just show the photo. you need to add them before nd after with no gaps.

I use a set on ten quid digital luggage scales these days.

Gone are the days of a big set of reubons.

I've gone back to the reuban flyweight scales generally, with the big set in the motor should the need arise.
I still don't trust the digitals

My dad built a trailer for our bikes so that me and my brother could go with all our gear and he wouldn't have to get up and drive us at dawn at the weekends. That was in the late 70's.

Scozza. Evo classic x brolly. I think the last of its type.
Hardly used and coming in very handy on the bike.
