I used to regularly cast floats into trees. Any sinking lure I cast out was inevitably lost within a few casts.
Over the past 10 years though, things have changed. OK I've lost a few lures. But I've found a few as well, including a nearly brand new Rapala lodged in a bush along the towpath of the Macclesfield canal. Quite how it got there is anyone's guess.
Probably half of my current float collection was once owned by someone else. I've picked them out of the water. I've plucked them out of riverside trees when I've been wading.
Over the past couple of months in Poland I've extracted 2 floats (real works of art) and 2 Mepps type spinners which I spotted snagged close to the bank.
How about you, do you generally lose tackle, or find it?
