Default Priests?

Hello everyone.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent priest from? Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks for your help.

Tom!

There's some nice looking ones on rbat made from exotic wood and bone. Very pretty.

Personally I use a snowbee hitman, the salmon version. If you have not seen one it collapses takinging very little room in your pocket. Its a gadget, but it works well.

I use one from ThePriestmaker and it does the job very well. Paul's not been on here or complete fisher for a while try sending him a message.

I use one of the priestmakers' priest's also, they are beautifully crafted, and worth every penny, will last a lifetime,[ if you remember to put it back in your pocket after use ].

I use an oar







Not really The one I have is just a little brass job and I am not sure where it came from but as I dont really kill many fish ( 3 this season ) it is not an important item of kit for me .
You can just make it out in the side of this picture .
Click the image to open in full size.
What I have often wondered is why do people spend so much money on a priest as any one will do , after all it is not a bit of kit like say a rod or reel

Sweeney todd,
Is that a brass head of a priest I can see behind the trout?

Oar pins make great substitutes,
personally I have a one of these http://www.stickmakerseamie.com/imag...0587%20(2).JPG

cheap @ 5 euro each, irish sika deer antler filled with lead.
