Bait elastic

Tape for confirming fish lengths

Oh yeah.. fish...forgot about them, knew there was something I was forgetting.

Got 2 entry level rods and reels.
Angling Direct bargains.
(Rods look ok, will hold on with the reel verdict just yet).
As you say, getting bait on a hook out there is key.
Still sussing out weights and rigs.
Thanks to everyone

Go and have a few lobs with the rods before you go mate, looking particularly for line twist problems.....

Good call!
I will do that.
Reels came spooled with line, but past experience tells me that free line is not always very good line.
Will have a chuck before I go (fishing or to the tackle shop).
