Maruisd, pens of nie, ek stem 100% saam! Laat ons nie praat van die ANDER nuwe "fad" in SA spesie hengel nie... ouens wat conv en specimen kombineer en nie bother met dinge soos n unhooking mat en carp safety nie... n "catch big carp at any cost" ding... Anyway, iets vir n ander post....Fishing has become a bit of a yuppie fad. People want to spend too much money on equipment, and at local dams I have started noticing a "mine is bigger than yours" attitude.
I say; use whatever works for you and is safe for the fish.
It doesn't help you to arive with 20k worth of gear and catch nothing. You might laugh, but I have seen it happen.
