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.

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....
