smufter Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Recently bought a new TV stand and it came with a little spirit level to make sure that everything was nice and neat and tidy. Nice little spirit level it is. Clear plastic, square, easy to read, not too big. It would only take a little dob of superglue to mount it beautifully on the front of my rod pod to make sure that my rods are all looking nice and neat and dapper. But I'm worried that people might think I'm a tackle tart......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazlaaar Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I was considering buying a laser level, maybe a tape measure just to make sure. dalthegooner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazlaaar Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 In fact I may employ a subcontractor just to make sure bivvystreet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazlaaar Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 One of these should be ok As it emits a red light, it shouldn't spook any fish, and it'll look lovely in my tackle bag along with my massive peg mallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liamclose Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Imo somebody who goes to the extreme of using spirit levels isn't just a tackle tart there also an idiot. I like to have my set up looking neat and tidy but using a spirit level is over the top. But each to there own I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyborx Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 i set my pod level up out of the wind so i can get it absolutely bang on but when i move it out of the bivvy to the swim it never looks the same :confused: spr1985 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
