Burt and his Westward Ho! Bass

One of the most important aspects of bass fishing is the realistic presentation of the bait, this is an art form and is rapidly developing into a science, with all sorts of gizmos being built into so called specialist rigs (end tackle to you and me) we have developed a series of well made rigs, designed especially for fishing north Atlantic storm beaches. We can mail you a selection pack of the six most popular shore rigs for eighteen pounds including postage
