Well, you would wouldn't you with words like this:
It was either a gay bondage party or Laguna had witnessed the PaSC initiation ritual of dangermouse.
And who the heck is Jim Gibbinson when he's at home?
Never saw a thing, being blindfolded at the time just had to visualise and listen to the groans of what dangermouse was being subjected to... I believe the DVD recordings are such good high quality (audio/visual horror fest) and are now being distributed amongst their elite members!
Jim Gibson was/is, if hes still alive? a prolific feature writer in the angling press from the late 1960's onwards, a major influence in the modern pursuit of carp fishing he also wrote 5 carp only books spanning over 45 years. Jim has also been instrumental in the design of carp rods, ringing patterns etc. Rods such as the ‘Clooper’ carp rod, Tri Cast and Eclipse ranges were ground-breaking and hugely successful both at home and abroad.
His first twenty-pounder came in the mid 1960s from Peterborough‘s famous ‘Electricity Cut’ and Jim has been catching worthwhile carp ever since. He was also a major influence in the pursuit of winter carp and his cold water carping successes attracted a great many carp anglers to dust down their carp rods even when snow lay on the ground.
Where's Ron he'll know who I mean ?
mg:
Jim was also famous for bringing the line aligner to our attention in the 90's. The Kamasan b175 does a similar job of aligning the line at a 45 degree angle but most don’t have the down turn on the eye that gives the rig the ability to flip over. The ability to flip comes from adding a piece of soft rig tubing which both extends the shank and adds the flip effect.
I believe Jims original idea was to have the tube bent to a degree but for the line to emerge through the side wall rather than out the end of the tube.
This article will explain the principle much better than I can..
