You don't have to go through all that rigmarrole regarding sponsored product on here Al, that pea brain is not on this site.

It actually looks to have a few uses for the course side of things, I might just pop over and have one of these.

I had a similar thing from NWKF a few years ago and used it on Loch Lomond for paddling close up to some of the islands.
Was it useful? Yes I suppose it was.
Would I actually buy one? Truthfully? I don't think I would.

My first thought Terry was the sunken trees at Ashby lake, moving close quarters into the branches and holding the branch while fastening up to one. Just a thought

my 1st thought was mint a sword than ran round like a ninja for a bit
they are not a angry as they look in the pics but are bloddy well made

i have a few to test the waters if ya like
you can tie a rope to the lanyard and make a bush anchor ,,pull brances to get lures and wack stuff

the most important bit is wacking stuff ! and your nice carbon paddle will thank you for getting one too

[Daz]

whack it !

[greygoose]

I looked at it and thought , that's the exact shape I made up out of 10mm ply for the yak, when I,m lure fishing or even more when I'm trying the fly ,I use it for close control,just to straiten up ,or hold back the drift. I first made it as a small paddle, the realized that a hook edge would be useful to pull into reeds or the bank, when I,ve cast out I just leave the main paddle tucked in its bungy and use the small one, it lays on my lap ,and every few cast I use it to straiten or edge back to the centre of the river, its handy,anyone on the rivers should make one .I have even used it to move hot trays on my barbique !
