After exstensive research the plot thickens!
Gather round and take a seat.I wanna tell you a story.
Once upon a time, a great and wise man called Sir Richard of Gardner (Tackle) said unto the world of Blanker's, "Lo and behold your saviour! For i have traveled to the land of small yellow people and whilst there they bestowed on me a great and wonderful gift. This they called "fluro carbon" and bade me to bring this wondrous item to you, the great unwashed. (Except Wendy) This i have done and i present to you SUBTERFUGE" !!!!!!!!!
Thus it came to be, all angler's, for the small sum of ?8.95 rrp. could now not fail to catch.
Thus was how Sir Richard of Gardner (Tackle) became a Hero in the ledgends of Carp fishing.
P.S. if you don't believe this story you could always try your local Gardner Tackle Dealer.
Cheers once again
