Malc Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) I admit that I like sitting down and making up my own traces/rigs and used to make my own fishing flies. When walking along the beach I also fill my pockets up with bits of lost or discarded line, I will even take some home rather than bin if there are bits of tackle in among it, but I don't reuse the likes of swivels or clips for safety reasons. In amongst the stuff I found yesterday was this. The mind boggles, I presume that it was a lead link but the lead was not there and the SS wire is very strong too?

I too like to make my own traces, tie my own flies and even pour my own soft plastic lures (jelly worms, shad and eel bodies). Good on you for cleaning up your beaches. Not sure what's going on with that lead link. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If they use homemade clips then maybe homemade weights with just normal bright wire loops rather than buying proper galvanised ones? Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Both salt and fresh, this was in the salty bit, I'm pretty sure no one would be livebaiting for the creatures in it mostly small stuff, codling Pollock coalie whiting dabs and other flats. When it was full of "rubbish" there were great bait beds, lots of decent fish, a six pound codling was a reasonable sized fish and flounder around a pound were common. Prefer the Lindisfarne version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
