Claret Lightweight Buzzer

No comments yet

This lightweight buzzer punches well above its weight. Perfect for straight lining near the surface on warm overcast days or in the evening when there is plenty of red tones in the light, It also exells on the washing line with a booby, FAB, hedgehog or suspender on the point.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
