I was at my local shop on Friday and noticed that they had kayak ggloves made out of that wetsuit material. These were full finger aand quite flexible. Not sure if these were for fishing I mind, but may do the job of keeping end points warm. I have a pair of neoprene (wetsuit material 2 to 3mm) glo...

Re: Fishfinder power source - too many options! - Opinon nee

Re: Anchor Answer for Tormentor (& others)

Thanks Rhino for the anchor tie bit - mentioned (and showed) me at Altona few weeks ago and I took the advice - first stuck came unstuck perfectly and with little effort. Now using all the time. Damm good system! :up:
