A pair of waders, a strong light and a tube of Aquasure: My preparations for the new season has started – I went on the hunt for small leaks in my waders today – a short 10 minute job which identified some pin prick holes caused by diving through sharp bushes – and occasionally from sliding over…
Does Hardy’s brand suck?
You know – a thought struck me the other day – I know absolutely nobody that owns a Hardy fishing rod.* I am not talking about hand me down rods or older rods bought on eBay – I am talking about brand new rods (and reels for the matter) that people are in the market…
