This month we have a great guest and one angler we've been longing to get on the podcast for some time, James Parry.

As well as Simon's interview we have our usual ramblings this month that touch on rig camo, rig mechanics, the importance of bait palatability and taste and how this plays a vital role when it comes to rig mechanics.
