Yeah some rules are made to be broken. I do recall he had the big common from the big pond, which must have been a club record back when he caught it. Terry could have only been a teenager lol and his face was a picture. Maybe he will write about it one day?

The FAL rig is not a new rig unlike the pebble rig, I dare say it will not be long before someone claims to have invented that! The FAL rig fell foul to his writing on his fishing as a syndicate member, the rig used was something he tinked with and named due to the "FAL culture" on that venue . FAL is not really his style at all, he is constantly tinkering with baits and rigs, casting out every 20 mins in most cases and results in some very good fish capures. When he does get the chance his writing is some of the best I have read, the trouble is with his sponsorships and consultancies he is expected to mention products and method applications where used. I too get fustrated when reading this companys swivel and that companys hook on that make of rod, especially when they are mostly all out of the same factories in china. I proof read, edited and typed up his FAL adventure with little addition, one I think he thoroughly enjoyed, FAL was Ronnies rig as are several more famous ones under other peoples names. Lets hope he gets pen to paper very soon

I think the Fal rig was one old Ronny (Bless him) forgot about, lets not forget he has been carp fishing some 40 years. And the state of his barnet shows he was one of the first to use the hair rig lol He certainly has not re-invented or re named any of his rigs, as he is worth far more than that in the public eye, lets leave those antics to todays wannabees not yesterdays pioneers of fishing. 40 years catching carp lads is not to be knocked, this chap started out fishing spuds, sleeping on sacks under trees just like Yates and all our other fishing heros from the past, I was there the day Ronnie chucked a young Terry hearn out his club water so there is very little that can mar this mans fishing profile when it comes to his honesty and integrity. His dvd has nothing to do with selling a fal rig or bigging up his sponsors like most consultants are expected to do. Its a fishing history where tales of redmire ledgends (in quest of bigger fish!!!) fished in Ronnies back garden at the ponds in Send in addition to some outstanding fishig achievements for both charity, club and personal fishing pride. The Fal syndicate was an article written, the shocker or fal rig or what ever just a simple running bolt rig was named as it was used to very good sucess on this top UK venue . come on chaps we all like to have our facts right Happy new year to you all
