thanks for the tip about the gaff hook chris, that'll definately be going in the kit. i agree with you that there's a huge variety of different kinds of kit for different scenarios. the thing that i'm most curious about i guess is wether anyone has used their kits with any success, i've done some fishing with rod and line including quite a lot of fishing for freshwater predatory fish i.e. pike, perch etc. and have lots of success with artificial lures, spinners,plugs, etc. and i notice that most comercial kits include these items, i'm just curious as to how effective they would be when used without a rod and reel. <br>just as matter of interest, has anyone else out there tried spear fishing? fun isn't it?<br><br>take it easy
