Re: Traditional Fishing Bags
Although they are nice I'd rather spend that amount of cash on a MKIV carp or avon and use a sainsburys carrier bag
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Re: Traditional Fishing Bags
I have to say that I like my Jack Pyke bag. The straps are proper leather, the canvas bits are canvas and it's just 'proper'. I tend to use it a lot when I go out and want to carry a book with me (99.9 times out of a 100). So it does get used a lot. Mind you, I do love that bag on the train

Re: Traditional Fishing Bags
For the price those Jack Pyke bags are way out in front of the rest, though Shakespeare, as always, do some splendid bags too.

Re: Traditional Fishing Bags
I was bought a barbour game bag a few years ago - and very ice it is too - but when I tried to buy the rubber insert (the bag had the poppers to accept one) I was met with a blank stare - apparently nobody actually uses them as game bags anymore so they don't sell the inserts! I also have a Chapman rucksack - bought a few years ago now before vintage rucksacks were available in every High St shop - and love it to bits: for a longer yomp to the riverbank its the bag for me! Now if only I could find someone to make Kelly Kettle bags out of canvas - you know with slots for the kettle, milk and sugar etc. - for less than the ridiculous prices I've been quoted so far.....

I bet you could.....if you spoke Chinese ,Jim. I do happen to know a chap with a Distinction in the language from Cambridge, but he's off gap-yearing it in Siberia for the next few months.
Kids, huh?

Re: Traditional Fishing Bags
Hi Jim - I wonder if this sort of thing could be adapted for a Kelly? Back in the '70s when I was doing a lot of camping, I remember using a similar bag I was given by a friend who worked in a bank to carry my Camping Gaz stove. No separate compartments of course...The VFC wrote: Now if only I could find someone to make Kelly Kettle bags out of canvas - you know with slots for the kettle, milk and sugar etc. - for less than the ridiculous prices I've been quoted so far.....
