Well the kit worked and I enjoyed it however I could not get through a bed
of gudgeon. I actually took a small gudgeon at over 25 yards on a size 12
hook and four maggots and bread flake ( ok I was desperate just to stop the
small fish )

If I went to float and held just off the bottom I got ravaged by roach that
thought they were piranha.

The only fishing excitement was when a large pike took one of the roach as I
brought it in and the pike was very big, I am guess the roach was not that
happy though. I also had good, well dry, weather but using the old kit was
good but I do need something more compact.

The old gear should work as well as it ever did - the fish haven't changed
much in the last million years or so.

Have fun.

Cheerio,
