All they need now is an automatic reel that brings the fish to the bank for you.

I have on occasion tried to explain why I think anti-eject, bolt-rigs and boilies are the antithesis of angling, but this video does a far better job of that than I ever could.

That's the wonderful thing about having an imagination, the beauty is in the not knowing but instead building a picture in your mind of what just might be going on below the surface and adapting your fishing style to perhaps tempt a bite.....

Exactly! The act of watching the rod tip with your hand hovering over the butt imagining a pair of lips inches away from the bait is better than any pharmaceutical stimuli. Well put RB.

Well said Rob. Each to their own but if I want to know more about what's happening below the surface, then I'll opt for a float instead of a ledger.

I'm not trying to take anything away from anybody but it's something Chris Yates has often said and I tend to agree with him.
