    Lift Arm Length

Just wondered what other people think, and what the best pattern would be for match work. Do people still...

    Transport

    Evening all, I know that several of you use a small lorry to move your tackle about. I was just wondering what you need to run one, operators licence, MOT etc and what the likely costs might be, as I am toying with the idea of buying one. Thoughts and advice would be most welcome.
