PART 1 in a 12 part series of blogs where we look at the Christmas Wishlists of The Mission/Feathers & Fluoro team.
Each list features three categories: Stocking Filler (cheap and cheerful), Sublime (a great piece of gear in the mid to high price range) and Ridiculous (the sky’s the limit for you, oh Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman).
First up – Brendan Body, aka Bod, aka Boderick, aka the human giraffe, aka Verbal Diarrhea personified, aka HE WHO HAS VELOCIRAPTOR FEET, aka The Mission’s art director.
STOCKING FILLER
SUBLIME
I recently popped my Clanwilliam Yellow cherry and now I’m even more obsessed. I’ve been using a beat-up old 5-weight outfit, but if I get in to a more serious fish I’m in trouble. I reckon the ideal set up for me when chasing Clanwilliam Yellows would be the following:
AND
a Shilton CR 4 Ultra Large Arbour Freshwater reel
RIDICULOUS
The pimped Alu-Cab beast bakkie
OR
A trip to any of the following: Farquhar, Gabon, Exmouth, NZ South Island streams, Tanzanian Tigers.
