Last evening I was looking with some disinterest through the catalogue proffered by a well known chain shop and I fell across the pages showing fishing tackle. I was really completely stunned by a few of the deals available on kits of tackle, mostly aimed towards those interested in starting fishing.

It was somewhat different to what was open when I was a lad. Then, the corresponding place to go to was Woolworths, to choose from the Winfield brand which was, frankly, rubbish. They used to come apart rather fast but the main thing was that by the time they did, one was primed to get finer bait and tackle anyway, or you had decided to desist with angling anyway.

I have little doubt that the fishing tackle sets that the catalogue store have are of rather unexceptional quality, which is of course ideal for the beginner. Things like float sets will certainly last for a very long time and be ideal for any tackle dangler wanting to restock lost bait and tackle, but for fathers or uncles wanting to introduce small family members to the enjoyment of angling, these sets are ideal.

There is too a psychological plus to be found in maintaining the interest of the recently inspired fisherman, which is that, once they choose to have a go and find pals who are also interested, to make off to the canalside with a complete set of bait and tackle will gather approving glances all round and engender a feeling of wellbeing which will be always associated with angling.

Of course there will have to be plenty of fatherly teaching beforehand in order to make sure that he or she knows how to set up the fishing tackle with some ability before letting them to embark on their own exploits. I well remember my initial trip out, which was an inter-troop fishing competition with the scouts. I had only been out a few of times with my uncle and finished up getting into the most awful muddles and forsaking most of my fishing line as a result. It was most humiliating as I spent almost the entire afternoon trying to unpick a cavalcade of cats’ cradles, then getting aggravated and cutting the line and beginning again.

This is not the way to promote fresh blood into the hobby. fishing can be a intricate process, and for novice needs to be trained how to appropriately setup the fishing tackle before setting out on their own.

And for this purpose, the sort of fishing tackle kits are perfect to give the desire to learn the finer points.

I read a tweeting conversation the other day between a pair of people nattering about dreaming and one of them highlighted the weirdness of having the radio on after the alarm went off but you’re not actually awake. That really lit a spark with me, as I recall some smashers I had when I used to have my clock radio and the Today programme came on and I was in that 2nd stage of sleep, where you are not really asleep but below that stage where you’re just emerging to consciousness. The radio gets into the ears and what they are picking up gets woven into the dreams and it’s wonderful.

permitting the mind to drift is a great thing and it’s increasingly difficult to do. I used to do it when giving the car a long scrub, when there’s not a lot to think about what you are doing you cannot get better than just picking a train of thought and following it to see where it goes. I can’t do it these days because my son insists on ‘helping’ with car washing and doing as much as he can. But soon, when I return to fishing, I will have the time and opportunity to just sit back, keep an eye on the fishing tackle and let the mind off into itself.

I completely believe it helps to keep the flexible as I used to watch myself going down tangents and making all manner of connections, testing my memory and trying to work out issues. Also it’s a brilliant method for going over times of your life, places visited and people met. Of course it can be troublesome as well, drifting back over one’s career and thinking “where did it all go wrong?” )

Maybe it’s me, but the time I get to be able to allow the mind to meander is becoming ever fewer. It’s another reason why ceasing angling was a stupid thing to let happen, especially as the normal moment for the imagination to meander when it happens, if it happens, is at the wrong part of the sleep timetable, and it keeps one awake which is not what we want at all.

A functioning imagination is a crucial part of the fishing tackle, not only since you have to adapt to the situation of the day, but also the part of the year. angling in summer is straightforward, especially around June when the season has just started and the fish have forgotten about being caught previously and the newly hatched fish never have been. Later though, angling becomes harder as the fish wise up, the weather affects how the fish feed and where, so you have to be able to adapt.

Changing a variety of baits and tackle for fishing is essential as very often a period of testing is needed before finding the best combination for what will tempt the fish into going after the trap on the hook. And, then when satisfied with the setup it’s a chance to sit back, take it easy and watch the mind go. And don’t push it! It will not work if you decide the journey or push the pace, all that happens then is that you are left wondering what’s on the telly later.

So, the point is to pack your mind along with the fishing tackle since, as well as the sheer fun to be had fishing, it’s a bonus to be able to keep the mind supple, the memory freshened up and inspired.

My absence from the canal-side in the years since I stopped angling looks so strange to me now. I used to enjoy it so much, particularly because my other endevours tended to be at the highly athletic end of the spectrum, playing as I did rugby, football and cricket for assorted school and village sides. Having the chance to get my fishing tackle, jump on a bike and cycle for the ten minutes to get to the local fishery and spend a few hours quietly sat with a rod in my hand and looking at a float on the water was a joy.

When I left 6th form college, “by mutual consent” as the football parlance has it, following the first year when it was clear that I had played about too much in the first year to have any possibility of gaining any A levels at the end of the 2nd, would have been the best time to relax in spring and summer evenings with my fishing tackle instead of slaving over some economics homework.

And because I was working, in a department store caf, I was earning and had more funds on the hip than I had ever had previously and a day off during the week which would have been ideal to get out to the lake and have a few hours if not a whole day fishing with the place almost to myself. Even better, since I was working in Guildford, visiting the fishing tackle shop should have been easy and I could have had pints of maggots to drown. This was unheard of before I left education since our village didn’t have a fishing tackle shop apart from a very small part of one shop had a limited selection, and definitely no live bait on offer, and to get into Guildford and back having visited the fishing tackle shop to get some would have taken ages and was not worthwhile.

In later years, I worked for a big utility company in Staines which had it’s own fishing lake and still I never felt the urge to end for the day, get the fishing clothes on and enjoy an hour down there after work. Even sillier, less than fifty meters across the road was the Thames which has some great fishing that went entirely ignored by me, especially because by then I was earning really good money and had the opening to get some really fabulous fishing in the fishing tackle bag.

Later on, again I was employed by for a business that had it’s building right on the waterfront, and quite often on breaks a gang of us would go and sit on the steps on a nice clear day and watch people angling, and as every alternate week saw my shifts finishing at 4 o’clock, it would have been very simple to pick the fishing tackle out of the car and see off the day with a couple of hours fishing. I might have enjoyed the job more too, thinking about it.

We know other priorities present themselves as you go through the years. After I left 6th form I discovered pubs in quite a big way. Ladies were never a challenge of course, I don’t ever recall any throwing themselves at me and beseeching me to ravish them, so that normally would not have been a difficulty to deciding on a days fishing, but it just seemed that at that time I’d put the fishing tackle away and forgotten about it.

That’s altering now though. I do have the desire to go back, I have had my fishing tackle out to check it over and see what has to be replaced, which is nearly all of it, and I’ve been finding places to go and what I need to do in order to be allowed to fish there, so hopefully I can renew some of the enjoyment from my formative days.
