Jules, thank you for your time it is much apreciated to incorporate you into another one of my blogs.

         Well, there we have it, Julian Cundiffs fishing summed up in a nut shell. He is a true inspiration and a class angler, he inspires so many people and give good advice, dont hesitate to ask him other questions at shows or on the bank. Put yourself forward and get you name out there so you can become like him some day, anglers dont get sponsored over night it takes time, effort and a heck of a lot of patience, making contacts is a good start as you have more people to keep in contact with in the angling pipeline.

Until next time, thank you for reading and hope to have some more material for you very soon.

Keep Catching!
