Fisherman’s Wallet - stocking it

[Duckett]

From time to time I like to play the “how little can I take to the river bank” game, so I’ve been looking for a wallet for ages but the leather ones are silly prices, which I’ll leave to collectors, and the vinyl ones always look very nasty! I recently managed to acquire one in excellent condition and that appears to be made of heavy cloth backed with something.

This is my first stab at stocking it. I think I need to add some No. 6 or 8 shot and a couple of bread punches. Any thoughts?

Its a good idea keeping things minimal .I am the worst “ just in case” angler in the world and always have too much stuff.
I made a wallet for myself but as always it holds probably far more than I really need .

Floats,scissors, forceps, disgorger, baiting needles x2 , 2xsmall spools of line, box of bits such as swivels etc, shot and larger shot to make link ledgers in a large shot tube , ready tied hooks and a few packets of hooks of various sizes .

I use it fairly regularly now, carried in a small bag with other bits , bait etc . Much more mobile just having the bag , landing net, rod, and rod rest.

I always have a spare reel and spare rod in the car though , I just cant help myself really . Its got to be done

As David has mentioned his self made wallet, here are a few pictures.

I have one the same / similar Duckett,
Takes everything I need for a "Go lightly"
Had this one since I was 14.
Its a bit weather beaten now.
That reminds me.... I need some more float rubbers.

Good afternoon HarryH is very good perhaps he might have some ideas on making some.Reelmaker

Thanks for all the comments chaps. Love the design of the home made one!

Mark - blimey, that virtually identical to mine. I was assuming it was late 1950s from the material so, can I be very rude and ask when you were 14 and was it new?

Sadly, this fisherman is more adept at emptying his wallet, rather than filling it.
