A great result young man, well done to you both

Sad news, I have always said if you don't use your local shops, you will lose them, I have only used mail order about 6 times but it seems every man and his dog buy online.

Rest in Peace Len, I’m still using the Mitchell 300’s you fitted with roller bale arms back in 1968. You were always very popular with my radio listeners whenever you were being interviewed. I will certainly miss you. Martin James MBE

Well said Graham its all about money, that's why the close season was done away with on still waters. Peoples lives before angling which it only a pastime. Stay safe stay apart.
