The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Just finished thumbing through the wonderful "the deepening pool" from the man Yates and there are quite a few references to the tackle he uses. Does anybody have a list as to what Chris preferred to fish with?

I'll start us off with

:B James Avon
:Hardly Altex (when not using a pin)

Any more chaps?

I think he likes his barder rods

ESP Raptor G4 hooks

He loves his 1915 pattern Aerial.

What no rusty vintage hooks?

does any one rember that old worn out net he had on the winter piking on pfa

The one you "could get a 30lb carp in"? Wire rimmed if I remember correctly but its been ages since I saw it.

that's the one

Grice and young centrepins. He was the poster boy for them I believe!

His current landing net is Barder. He has a huge Barder carp net which Edward stopped producing because he felt it was too large and cumbersome but apparently CY loves it.
Chris also uses a Barder reel.
