    I haven't but my mate had a 16.5 mirror on a salmo slider and there's a few lads on the las forum who have had everything from gudgeon to barbel and carp on lures

    What Neil r says is spot on, just to add to that the agm muscle jigheads are a bit better quality still cheap as chips though, the south bend wire traces are quality too The muscle jig heads are good and i usually go for them if they have them in stock in the size im after. knot2kinky is good wire and can be knotted aswell if you want to make your own . 6 and 8 inch Jakes and squirrely jakes are good if you like flat sided baits , ive tried the really big 12or 13 inch ones but they dont seem as good , only had follows on them

    Sorry for being abit thick but do the Shads and frog jobbys come with out hooks etc, do you have to mount them on something yourself, cheers.You can get both rigged and unrigged . I favour unrigged shads ( manns action shads are good by the way) so I can adjust the weight of the jig head to suit the depth of the water and also the wind on the day . Agm is probably the cheapest place for jig heads from size 12 to 7/0 . I use 1 to 1/0 for 2 - 2,1/2 inch kopytos but you can use a bit bigger if you wanted . Be careful of the kopytos on eBay , half of the ones I've seen on there are nothing of the

    I love the musky mania squirrely burts , he's one of only 3 places over here I can think of that still sells them . I've done alright on the Bucher depth raiders aswell and also shallow raiders

    Friendly fisherman is Andy lush , he used to do a lot of the proper jerkbaits but seems to be moving more towards the smaller stuff these days . He bought the et brand out a while back and did a cracking range of rods with Gordy aswell as tools , alarms and terminal tackle . The shops over in the states have way more choice and are cheaper for lures , I used to order from jackson lures over in the states and even getting stung by customs it was well worth it

    Harris angling no longer around mate,sue sold up and now has a eco-tourist place in central america,my mates been over a few times and fished with her. Still going with different owners but not lure orientated any more just another general shop now with the usual fox and savage gear stuff Yup,i cant remember who bought them out,i do remember salivating over the catalogues when they came through the letter box,all those pages of incredible lures and they sold a great selection of micro-rods and reels,they were before their time,or rather she was as my mate said she was the driving force behind

    You can't go wrong buying from AGM . The kopytos are brilliant lures with colours 055 chartreuse yellow and 001 white being must have colours . Crazy fish minnows and big bite crappie thumpers and orka twister tails are also worth getting from there . If you want hard baits they do Bomber lures and theHRT carp lures in roach , crucian and perch patterns have caught me a lot of fish . Another couple of shops to look at are Lure world for kopytos , phantoms , reno killers and gloog hectors and Lure lounge for z-man baits

    Padiham mate, rest I caught were healthy I'll try and knock em over but time will tell I supposethe thing is it was only a couple of weeks ago I was telling my cousin 'I've not seen mixy local to me'! put my foot in it there didn't I Thanks all for the input Mick It was round hapton not long back , looks like its reached your way now . Its a shame , the rabbit population has never been that big round here and everytime it looks to be getting better it goes bad again . The land i have over harwood had a fair few a couple of years back but in the space of 2 weeks you were lucky to see one

    Where abouts in east lancs are you , im in accy and mixy has wiped my permissions from garstang to great harwood over the last couple of years. Dont know how fast it spreads but its a sickener when you see your permissions being wiped out , even my bankers in harrogate have been done in with it . Id just leave it and get out looking for new land
