Don't mean to pry but what's the nappy for.

Just in case

[Ken A]

Sure looks like you have all the bases covered

The nappy IS interesting

[bluefin]

You may find quite a few raiders carry a nappy, mainly those who are fathers!

They make great rags and are readily available, especially if your kiids have grown out of them!

Ritchie , I found this an excellent post for as someone new to SP's

Between Ken's SP articles on the homepage and your tackle kit contents list a lot of questions were answered for me....especially on the jig heads and SPs

Interesting post Richie -

Got me thinking if I could remember what was in my bag without looking. Understand the nappy thing but a bit unsure about the tinned Sardines. Assume you use for berley or do you gobble up with the stale bread ?

Anyway here goes :

Tackle :

Loomis GL3 7’ 2 -4 kg

Team Daiwa Advantage # 1500

Assorted plastics :

Mostly Atomic fatgrubs, paddle tails, Berkley minnows, Power hawgs, Sqidgies and twitchin nippers etc.

½ doz hard bodies SX40s and 48’s

Jig Heads :

Brands too numerous to mention from 1/32 to ¼ oz (I tip out of there packets and into a little flat 12 compartment box so a bit hard to identify apart from the weights which I write in each compartment)

Worm hooks weighted and unweighted.

Leaders :

Siglon 6lb

Nitlon 8lb

Miscellaneous stuff :

Stainless long nose pliers

Sml soft tape measure

Keeper net

Braid scissors

Bottle of ultrabite

Tube of Halco Catch scent saltwater fluro-glo

Small oil stone

Little retractable lanyard pinned to the Maroko soft plastic bum bag & attached to a bathroom hand towel (bright orange & not missed from the linen press to date) this idea works well as I have released a lot of hand towels to swim off to their freedom in the past.
