Hooks, Lines & Sinkers (part 3)

In the old days I used to carry a wide variety of ledger weights and feeders, everyone did. Drilled bullets, coffin leads, watch leads, strips of lead, lead wire, those enormous clear plastic block end feeders that were the norm on the Trent and Severn in those days, I had them all.

Nowadays things are different, more refined I'd like to think, lead has long gone, I only carry arlesley bombs and swim feeders are generally smaller and better designed.

My bombs range from an eighth of an ounce to two ounces which covers pretty much every eventuality I also carry a couple of flat camoflaged bombs for clear water river fishing, a variety of open end feeders in various colours and sizes and a couple of cage feeders, my block end or maggot feeders are mostly quite small, I still use drennan feeder links sometimes ( the green ones that used to come with 2 swan shot as weights ), others include the very tidy Kamasan black caps (with power gum to keep the lid tight) and the smoky coloured ones by Drennan with a flattened profile.
I also have a small selection of method feeders should I ever get round to using them.

Other associated items include swivels of various makes and sizes, ledger stops, ledger beads, hard plastic beads and rubber beads.
