Grip Leads!

[Trampster]

Mentioned these a while ago, but only just decided to buy some, as there was a bonus Nectar point offer on eBay! Poor excuse I know. Mr Postie arrived with a heavy package this morning, and I'm pleased as Punch! 10x 4oz Grip Leads £10.25 with free post. Great service, and the Guy does a range of weights to order. I know we have our own excellent Dusty Bin, but Dusty told me the carriage isn't viable if you only want a few.

That looks like a fair deal too! Rarely use anything heavier than 4oz on clean beaches. I think my Conti rods will cast up to 200gms but with biggish baits & a multi hook rig, I stick to 4oz.

Thought I'd order a few after having to replace the two of yours I borrowed & lost!
With all of the postal strikes, I didn't expecct them to arrive for a week or two. The eBay listing says shipped with Evri, but they arrived with Mr Postie!

Posties on strike 14th and 15th Dec , then 23rd and 24th. On top of that a lot of mail used to be transported by rail ( not sure if it still does)

About time the Gov took it back off the Swiss, kin ruined all those posties who work in all weathers.

Having worked for Royal Mail, nothing goes by Rail now as far as I know. They had massive issues with the Mail Trains over 15 years ago (might have been due to another strike) and now everything goes by Road, though they were flying some mail from the South West (Exeter) up to the Scottish Mail centres.
They are always short of Truck drivers, and working for them via an agency for 12 years kept me out of mischief, and enabled me to pay off the France mortgage in 11 years!
