A natural teacher. Clear and detailed. He can fish a bit, too.

That was a great video Tom with a master fisherman. Glad I saw this before I bought the Acolyte 8 mtr Whip which I was planning on doing! Better save some more money for this one! Tight Lines

[@terrymatthews5705]

[@seoqful2081]

walk the dog round Underbank pretty often, wish I'd bumped into Alan while they were filming this... he might have let me have a crack

[@britishbluetess]

Scothorne has forgot more than most of us know

[@philipbrycen3381]

Pro tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@owenryland2359]

@Philip Brycen definitely, have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :D

[@kameronbryant9796]

@Philip Brycen Yea, I've been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)

[@frankfaller2398]

Ok when your bait is paid for ... ground bait + particals start getting expensive

[@chrisa4882]

That's right. Fishing matches on natural venue's is very expensive bait wise. 3 pints each of maggots and casters along with worms and all the groundbait etc.. Can easily spend £40 - £50 on bait alone.

[@jebos4982]

pour moi je préfére pécher au moulinet avec de telle longueur de canne pécher plusieurs heures c'est fatiguant je ne suis pas a l'aise , j'adore pècher a la télescopique mais d'une longueur maxi de 5 mêtres s'il faut aller plus loing je prends le moulinet même au chénevis
