I nearly posted this question on another thread but didn't want to hijack the thread so have started this new one.

I'm not talking about clothing here but things like Unhooking mats, Bite alarms Bivvies etc.

Ive got an 18ft Bass boat in Cream with a red Stripe and lettering down the sides. It has 3 swivel seats that are trimmed with real tree camo pattern cloth. WHY!
I must clear up the fact that they were there when I brought the boat but someone must have brought them for a reason but I cant think why. When you are sat on them the camo cant be seen and when your not they fold down so the camo cant be seen.

So come on, What have you got in camo, Confessions please.

No camo here whatsoever (and that includes clothes)!

..........and yes, I am a carper! ;o)

I will confess to once owning a real-tree camo extended winter skin for my dillo, but felt embarrassed using it, so got rid of it!

I have lots of camo clothing and all me luggage is camo but if you ever see camo bivvies they really do stand out,where as a green one tends to blend in much better on the bank.

I've no camo gear, although I've nothing specifically against it - just too tight to pay the premium! If good camo clothing is available at the right price when I need a replacement item I would probably buy it.

I do find the camo thing a bit amusing though - what's the point of a camoflaged bait bucket - and how do you find it?

On the other hand, as I think I have posted before, Matt Hayes has all the camo gear going - but wears a white hat!

Who is this Matt Black chappie then Mr Monk, is it someone we should know about, or is he a trader in ruffe slappers moving stealthily among the bivvies?

Too true it was Monk - matt black rods, bank sticks, reels (obviously) and anything else that would tollerate a coat or two of the matt black.
Oh for the good old days.

b.t.w. can someone PLEASE tell me the purpose of a camo sleeping bag?

Last season I was at a club lake in Ringwood when these two chaps came along - enormous trolleys fully laden with everything covered in what looked like camo stick-on plastic, even their bait buckets (of which there were about 8!) were covered in the stuff.

They spent about 2 hours at the venue, blanked and carted the lot off home.

As I said, oh for the good old days ;-)

I'm on the lookout for a pair of camo underpants. Can't find any in the UK, but sure I'll find some in the US.

Im with you Jason on the realtree stuff its no where near as good as the army stuff. I have quite a bit of the army stuff for shooting but never wear it fishing as I just dont see a need for it.

Sean the pants are out there mate ive seen um. Thongs too if they take your fancy.
