Most of the time I end up taking a rucksack because I take the digital slr, a flash unit and a couple of lenses. I've been thinking about buying a compact digital camera, just so I can use it more often.

I have spent this first season after Barbel, trying to concentrate on mobility and swim rotation....

....had to slim down my kit quite a bit as the season has worn on to aid this mobile approach, and now have everything I need rig wise contained in pockets in my coat. I carry my bait, scales and other stuff in a rover bucket on one shoulder, and have my Nash bum buddy stalker seat over the other shoulder in case I feel the need to stay a while in a swim.

Anyhow, what about the vest? Though as I'm old enough to remember bumbags from the 80's the idea of a fishing one is appealing.

Holy barbel, it's a utility belt? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (kenjiblaster25) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/sreply/156479 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 10:35:37 GMT http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/reply/156478/t/Roving-Rolling-Waistcoat.html#reply-156478

Theres quite a few options if it's a waistcoat you want. Greys GTRX, Shimano Tribal, Masterline, other fly types and so on.

I know Ray favours the Fox bum bag, if it's still done I'm not sure.

One thing I would recommend and this is more of a personal choice for myself as I like to be organised, jump from swim to swim and be comfortable and it's the Fox Evolution Rig and Bait carryall. It's organised on the top what with rig wallets to house all you're... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RollTheBaits) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/sreply/156473 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 01:32:04 GMT http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/reply/156472/t/Roving-Rolling-Waistcoat.html#reply-156472 feeds@yuku.com (kenjiblaster25) http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/sreply/156472 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 01:00:05 GMT http://barbelfishingworld.yuku.com/reply/156471/t/Roving-Rolling-Waistcoat.html#reply-156471 I've used the fox one in the past but now use one from cabelas in america.
I use mine all year round and it carries everything i need including my reuben heaton scales and an SLR camara.
Once you've scaled down your gear a bit you'll wonder why you ever needed a rucksack/holdall.

I know you can buy fly vest/fishing waistcoats and outdoor gilet type tops.

I'm interested to know what people use, especially for the roving/rolling approach. I went to look on Ray's site, but it still wouldn't load.

I think my main criteria are:
1) Good storage and function
2) Nothing too garish for colour
3) Probably waterproof breathable, so it would function with layers.
