What is Wigan Pier famous for?

Wigan pier is an iconic landmark, famous worldwide. There are many different stories about the pier. It is not surprising that for a town more than 20 miles from the sea, Wigan pier gained notoriety through music hall songs and jokes by George Formby
I would recommend a really long conti rod a big fixed spool reel with 20 miles 300 yards of 20lb line I'll leave the hook size choice upto you 👍 😉
