Chasing big trout requires more than a bit of luck and good judgement there’s a need to have total faith in terminal tackle if you’re to consistently land fish.

For my money they don’t come any better than the Fulling Mill competition heavyweight and super heavyweight grub models which helped me lever many a solid trout out of a tight spot. Tried and thoroughly tested, not a single one opened out…
