Multiple bits of metal work.

Pod, Singles and Board Stands you only need one set.

Portabogs with bags and cleaning liquid

Floating weigh slings

The majority of polarised sun glasses that off little to no benefits

I like it...can we have a second list of how many of those products have you bought and that determines how carpy you are.
I only own the Hangman thing

You can add all lists compiled by those who have had zero input to forum threads but feel it their duty to summarise it

Oh my days yes, £400 for a line counter that made wrapping around £20 sticks redundant........

How about £20 sticks that made casting skill redundant?

Guys were clipping up literally years and years before wrap sticks were "invented" (lol).

"Casting skill" that could never be totally mastered and saw tree lines littered with leadcore and rigs........

Are you ok?

Yes, casting skills, the situation somebody who's learnt their ability over the years attains through effort, not off the shelf or heaven forbid, not fished recklessly just to get a bite. But yes, "distance rod rests" if you need to.
I've seen the tree ornaments you describe sadly, but once you've moved on from the nod puddles for pot noodles there's a better standard of etiquette and knowledge shown.

I'm fine thanks mate, you?

I've been fishing for 40 years so as well as having a fair bit of bankside etiquette I have also pretty much figured out casting but would that stop me using distance sticks to aid my own ability/accuracy, absolutely not. As Yonny said, people have been clipping up for years, not to mention walking their rods down the bank to a strategically placed bivvy peg before "wraps" were a thing.....are they all Pot Noodles as well?

And tree ornaments have never been exclusive to day ticket waters, you don't need to be a noddy to misjudge a cast fella.....

Not had chance to yet mate virus and all that.
Just got a bit giddy at the Manchester show....tbh I like the idea of having rigs hung up ready to go in the middle of the night, one less thing to be fumbling around for
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
