One prob with devices like that fish,they have no advantage whatsoever over fixed lines,they are highly visible,take longer to knock up than simply anchoring a line and casting it out,but different strokes for different blokes,I hope we get the chance to fish that stream in the summer you told me about,we will get SOME trout I have a 50 yard tiny-meshed trammel net specifically for trout and one or two other methods

Here you are fish old bean,reef-nets for netting off parts of a reef,they have tiny meshes so NOTHING edible gets through them,my 50 yarder trammels cost less than a tenner each and are IDEALLY suited for chalk-stream trout if it were legal you can see it for sale hanging outside the local village store........
