Mustad Magic Box
Introduction
When I offered
to do an article for the site, after talking to Bob I was thinking of buying
some new tackle in the closed season and reviewing that. Whilst I will probably
still do this, after talking to Scott, he suggested an article on a piece
of kit I have already been using for a few years. This is the Mustad Magic
Box, a kind of mini tackle-box for all your essential bits and pieces. For
most of my fishing I am quite mobile, especially on the smaller rivers, and
the Magic Box is ideal for anglers on the move, even if I'm on the Severn,
I keep this with me in my coat pocket in case I swap pegs at any point.
Description
Conclusion
As a space-saving piece of tackle this is ideal, and as I said I have been
using mine for a number of seasons already, and don't really know what I would
do without it. The only down-side, if there is one is that you could do with
a little more room, but I think that may be me being greedy, as it would probably
defeat the object of it's compact design. In short, go and buy one!
Price
and Stockists
I bought mine from Trefor West a few years ago, and paid about £6, I believe
they are £7.99 from Trefor now, he normally has his tackle on sale at Barbel
Society regional meetings. You will also be able to purchase one from most
Mustad stockists, I have also noticed that they sell them at www.endtackle.com
for the same price.
