Pegley Davies (PDQ) bait tray
This was purchased during the 70's and proved to be very useful for trotting. Fixed on top of a long bankstick it was handy when wading out to fish. It would hold 2 different baits (maggots/castors/pinkies/worm), disgorgers, spare floats, shot and hooks. No need to wade back to the bank if tackle changes were required.
What do they know of fishing who know only one fish and one way to fish for him?

I always envied those with bait trays but, as they tended to be match style anglers, I avoided the 'look'. Daft really. Mind you, yours looks like a surprised robot

Dave - you could have used that to rest your ‘nads’ in whilst fishing post op

It was only the one Neil, a single bucket sufficed.Northern_Nomad wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 6:55 pm Dave - you could have used that to rest your ‘nads’ in whilst fishing post op

Who'd have thought a bait tray could promote such an interesting line of conversation.....

As the French may say ... "c'est tray bon !!!"

I used to have one of those back in the day, these days I prefer a bait apron, no struggling to get in stoney river beds.

How do you stop Houdini escapologist maggots from exiting the apron ? I tried an apron but it was just too bulky and seemed to get in the way of everything.... I quickly went back to one of my old fashioned and rather stained and threadbare Maggot Bags.Shropshire Lad wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 7:41 pm I used to have one of those back in the day, these days I prefer a bait apron, no struggling to get in stoney river beds.
Bonus being that you just tie the cord around the top of the bag when packing up, one bait box less to pack away.
