Some simple bank sticks
I really enjoy making my own tackle now, especially having fun searching for V shaped pieces of hazel!! These are all pretty basic but they match my handling net handle colour wise and burn wise. They work well too

Very nice indeed - before the blink of an eye you’ll amass very many more - for sure!

Nothing wrong with basic.
Sometimes simple is best!

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Nothing wrong with back to basics, very nice indeed.
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Some simple bank sticks
Nothing simple about finding a hazel or hawthorn or cherry or ... any other type of suitable wood branch with a nice fork with roughly equal arms to it!
That's my experience, anyway.
A joiner was fitting a kitchen for us, saw my rod rests, and mentioned that he loved the wood.
I told him that it wasn't easy to find a nicely shaped fork with roughly equal arms, and he didn't quite believe me.
A keen rambler, he told me he'd bring me a shed full the next time he went a-wandering.
He's been wandering for nearly a year now, and has admitted that perfectly shaped forks are like hens' teeth.

Re: Some simple bank sticks
Thanks all for the kind words! Ive got some more sophisticated ones in the making from come tonkin bamboo but I doubt they will replace my wood ones! I just love them and they actually go into the hard ground much easier than my modern alternatives - Win Win in my eyes.

Very nice indeed they have that lovely rustic look, and I do love a burnt finish.

Where do you get the spikes.
Old fishermen never die they only smell that way.
