Which comes back to there is no definition on the minimum, (or maximum even) rod length. It's perfectly fine and seen as a competitive sport to fish a canal or pond with a 17m long, carbon fibre pole and fishing line, but not ok to fish with a 6 inch 'rod' in the same way. impeccable logic.......

good old Holyhead lol

Which is what I've been saying all along lol I enjoyed your vid Mike, it was nice to see someone else firstly (most importantly) checking the legality, and secondly enjoying the technique

are you even reading the links I have posted, the data directly from the EA about how many people they have caught and doing what... and that there WAS NO MENTION OF HANDLINES ANYWHERE in that data, at all..... Also, please define an 'unlicensed instrument' as if going by common sense if you...

There are a couple of guys I know locally that get out a fair bit I found through Facebook, both from Holyhead. I don't think either of them are on here though. I get out occasionally these days but not very often, if I do it's just armchair stuff ; a short walk, making a brew, whittling a...

nice thumbstud mod! I have to admit, I love mine too despite the iffy blade centering....

I have one the first thing it screams is that it's a solid little knife. It comes over as a little rough n ready finish wise when you first take it out, but don't let that put you off- it's a real beater. It's not a knife that's too nice to use, and you certainly don't mind using it hard. Out...

I've been carrying an NT10 for about 3 years now, and I've hammered it- the damn thing just won't die !! It's been caving down mineshafts around N Wales, UrbEx, snorkelling, fishing, daily use, camping, heck I've even used it lamping with the head strap...
