£‘s if anyone is looking to relieve themselves of one. Thanks.

Thanks Neil - really helpful. I’m keen to get it fishing again.

Thanks for this, Neil. Much appreciated. It does indeed have the gold section collars you mention. The rogue spare top section must be a Heath Robinson quiver then, based on your info.

No Dave, it wasn’t John.
