Wasn't it David who asked:

Sorry guys, can you help me here??

My sone has been given a collection of fishing things by a friend for his
recent birthday. A few of them I cnt explain to him.


All sound like course fishing items used mainly when Carp fishing. Best ask
on uk.rec.fishing.course.

They are...

A bag of polystyrene balls. What are they for and how do we use them?


Depends upon the size..... maybe used to make 'pop-up' baits?


Thats the easy ones...

A small packet containing about 2 -3 fet of nylon string. Looks like
tooth
floss!, braided, white?!?!!

Maybe soluble PVA string.


A green plastic moulding, about three inches square. It is flat and holds
two sets of plastic fingers, crooked in the middle. These are tiny, about
30
of them in each column spanning the green moulding. On the same moulding
a
set of five plastic "strings", each with little bobles moulded on. These
are fine "strings", about 2mm dia.

Again, not sure, but you may be describing hair rig stops.


A black plastic tree, three inches long. On one side a set of rings (same
size and shape as rubber float rings.
On the other side an equal number of pegs. It looks like the pegs go in
the
holes...but apart from mindless fun, why?

Sound like ledger stops.

As I said above, ask on uk.rec.fishing.course. Long time since I've been
course fishing and particulary for Carp.

Andy
