forks

I would like to have the last word on this subject as me DA used say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, so i am going to add to that,a cheap pitch fork in the wrong hands is absolutely useless. Good old Leinster.

When your digging twice a week using them forks its a pain in the arse, but its like everything pay more you get quality. I would recommend buying a flat tined fork if you dig alot.

:lol: Youse are all forking aff yer heid's...real men use a spoon... :lol:

The forks Paul is talking about are the Wilkinson Swords ones. They are excellent and are well worth the 30 odd Euro they cost. 80% of digging requires a flat tine fork.

I bought one of those wilkinsons forks from B &|Q after seeing sean365s in action. Its a cracking fork for the job. I don't do much bait digging now and I'm well out of practice but used to do fair amount of bait digging when I was in wicklow. I cracked more of me Dads fork wooden handles than your could shake a stick at so avoid. They also give blisters. Give any fork good rince after use.

thanks a lot , got one of the ones in B&Q , gave it a good run out already in (edit) ground full of rocks , worked a treat .same in wet compact ground , like a knife through.... Bulldog potato forks probably are the best , place in Smith-field used to sell them but its closed down , can only seem to get them in Northern Ireland or England , well worth it though when you look at the amount you save :D :D :D :D

I bought one 2 years ago from Tesco’s, there was some kind of sale on for garden furniture and tools, found a stainless steel garden fork with plastic handle, reduced from 20 to 5 yo yos. Its a great job, no rust, bends or breaks!! 5 euros, not bad....
