Chris Ball with our ltd. edition Tutti & Anchovy signature collab pop ups during the FODCAC event, two proven recipes by the man himself. Still a number available in our shop.    

The people over at Dangler in the UK wanted to have a link added to our RidgeMonkey recipes on the website and asked us what that would cost. We usually don't do this, but asked them to donate an amount of their choice to a charity for the son of our follower and friend Bunneghem Yannick Ian, who needs a very costly ear surgery in the US.

If you have high res, good quality pics of...

It shows the Belgian legend with Orky, a homemade conveyer belt baitboat from 1990. We post it up on our socials and it just went viral, never expected this. More history about this boat can be read in the comments (you'll need to use the translate button here and there), we also learnt there were other anglers using one over here in the mid 80s and pike anglers already...
