I gave up fishing 8 years ago to enable me to return home and to care for both my parents whom were suffering with dementia till august last year, at the time I donated all my tackle to a local angling project get young people in to fishing.
Since the passing of my parents, I have been fishing with my old bruce walker ctm glass match rod and pin/410 reel on the swale and the local beck in the village,which has not been fished much in 20 years.
I am looking to up date my tackle first starting with a float rod to start with, I have been to my loal tackle shop and he just seems to be pushing old stock and advising I need a puddle chucker/pellet waggler what ever that is.
I will be fishing woodlands at thirsk the original pond (roach,rudd and tench), from time to time and many of the brick pits on local farms as well, and the village beck holding grayling, chub to 6lb and trips to the swale at morton 2 miles away.
I am looking for a suitable float rod to trott and for still waters, is there such a thing. Every thing seems to be prefixed with carp, done the carp thing sitting behind buzzers just want to relax and enjoy the sport again.
