I suspect that will be a rather lovely thing to use.

Yes, I thought so too! I need to sharpen my Spey fishing game as well as my just casting game and my 80's B&W and Daiwa's are no fun with 15" fish.
Here's hoping 🤞

Shall we burn he who spaketh of 'seabass'? 🤣

I spent my career in Marine Biology and accept that the accepted scientific name for this fish is
European Seabass Dicentrachus labrax

Dicentrarchus labrax summary page

www.fishbase.se

Every country that thet are found in has different common names for this fish and the frankly idiotic ranting online about this amongst UK anglers just amuses me 🤣

Well roger me senseless with a Seabass (European)

I still call it a Bass for what it's worth 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those bloody tv chefs have a lot to answer for.....

The bloody fish IS a seabass according to taxonomy - what you or I call it doesn't change that simple point of fact 😁

In fact just for sh!ts and giggles I've edited the title of the thread to reflect that fact 🤣

Someone will take pleasure in it

In the OP I wondered about Cornish Snaps - jam or cream first, where's the crimp

I suppose those that call them Seabass also still catch Rocksalmon.

Well I certainly caught one 🎣🐟🤣

It's a useful part of the cult of fishing to know the names of your prey in the language of whatever country you are in:
Bass 🇬🇧🇮🇪
Havsaborr 🇸🇪
Lubina 🇪🇸
Wolfsbarsche 🇩🇪
Bar 🇫🇷
Loup de mer 🇫🇷(Med)
Robalo 🇵🇹
Zeebars 🇳🇱
Doingean mara 🇮🇪 (Ga)
European Seabass 🌍

If you think you caught a Rocksalmon I think it was you that was caught. 🤣

Quit your carping!

That's right, he'll be in a real huff

HUSS - as any fule kno
