cats among the pigeons now !! i certainly wasn't having a go at anyone as i respect all rights to a view but i always use this parallel if you discovered an additive which was so good it meant you framed or won every match you entered would you use it ? of course you would . no skill involved you havent become better angler but it enables you to win more. the idea in a competition is to compete and the foating pole or any method is just designed to catch more. if a ban is for fish welfare then fair enough but lets keep an open mind on all methods
ps andy gas ...please dont tell me thats your wife
