Has anyone used them?????? if so would it be worth the investment for lure fishing in a big disused lake????????

lure fishing

big sharp trebles

inflatable device

no room to move a great deal you have to bring the fish very close to you to unhook it



well can you see where im going with this


a better bet would be a sit on canoe or bic type of boat sportyyak/252 plastimo bathtub thing, sniper etc

and you can stick an engine on them

i own a 10foot sniper which ok is too much to walk any great distance with but the smaller bic's and plastimo things come/can be fitted with wheels, and the canoe styles can be carried over your shoulder

earlier this year i got a 15 foot canoe to convert into a sit on style its a project that hopefully ill be getting started on soon the canoe cost 20 quid and all told im working on around a £100 to do the whole job (inclusive of rods retainers which cost 30 quid)

then again noodle people fish them with a flies and the odd spinner i have watch vid of americans with mepps in them....i dont know untill i try...and you cannot take a canoe with you evreywhere yet this can fit in a backpack

I'm with Noodle on this one Mr Makk.

You wouldn't get me anywhere near one of those. I guarantee that I will end up in the drink, and I don't fancy that at any time of year.

Pike fishing suicide IMHO

Although you could always keep the treble guards on your lures
