Well that was a close one. I've spent the morning tidying the fishing shed up, been avoiding it for months. I put some baited rigs (popups) in ziplock bag then into the bin liner to chuck away. Anyway job done, decided to sit in the sun and roll up, looked up to the of the garden to my dog sat there chewing something, so I walked closer to see what it was, only to see a swivel hanging from its gob, as I went to grab the dog the whole rig fell from its mouth. The little **** chewed through the bin liner, pulled the zip lock bag out, chewed through that and got a rig out, all in the space of 30 seconds or so. Absolutely bricked it, luckily all rigs were there so I know it hasn't swallowed any. Vet bills was going round in my head 😂😂😂 no more rigs being left with baits on, gonna chop them up put them straight into the black bin next time lol

With everything going on with the house leading up to my French trip last week , it was all left rather last minute on a lot of things . And a quick dash to my mates tackle shop was all I managed. Needed some size 2's & all he had in stock were the ridgemonkey selection! They know what I'm like when it comes to tackle especially hooks , but after pooley assured me that these were the Ace hooks just rebranded & he uses them him self I went for them . Well safe to say I was well impressed with them , the one hook did me the 50 lber 45 / 46 & it still was good to go , fishing locked up & giving it stick in the lillies so gave them a proper test , banging hook holds, didn't blunt on the lillie stems couldn't find fault with them tbh . Had a battle with a cat which will always test your end tackle too . I used the straight point pattern & would happily recommend them

My mates Staff years ago swallowed a rig . 400 £ op to get it out . The vet did say that if it's made it to the stomach without getting caught up, the hook would be dissolved quite quickly. But Bill didn't want to take the chance & after xrays decided to pay for the op .
