I agree with you about the magazines Dave. I remember making our own monkeys climbers from a magazine article back in the day.Dave Burr wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:47 am Hmmm? I reckon you should use a swear box whilst fishing with these.... you may save enough money to buy a quiver tip They will be great at bite detection but that's a long tip and I concur with the tangle potential. But nothing ventured.... I hope I am proved wrong.
As for the article. Magazines, back in the day, were great for sharing invention in tackle and technique. Imagine that piece written today. The concept would have been 'borrowed' by a major company, mass produced, wrapped in yards of single use plastic and built up as essential, groundbreaking, catch enhancing wonder kit. All text wrapped around umpteen images including the obligatory swingtip held out to camera with blurred behind.
Depressing isn't it.
But we have to be optimistic Dave. If preliminary test go well and I iron out any niggles, this could be a game changer. Then the skies the limits - World Domination.......
