Bought this years ago and had it serviced by Garry Mills. Used it twice (and caught both times!) but then been sat in my basement unused for years. Obviously it's not pristine but for it's age it's in very good working order. Spins very true and no wobble. £110 posted

2 x Shimano Baitrunner Aero 8000 GTE-B reels - bought them second hand but only used them a couple of times. Full working condition and cosmetically all is fine. £110 posted

Had a bit of clear out and found some stuff I don't think I'll ever use. First up is a JW Young lighweight centre pin. I got as far as loading it with 12lb Gamma Edge line and set up a rod with it, but that's as close to the bank as it got. And I've had it for years....! It's in pristine...

Love mine - only got one and 'upgraded' for a pair of matching 12ft Torrix rods but ended up preferring the Chimera. Each to their own but I liked the softer action and never found that it lacked stopping power. I also have the 11ft Torrix which is an amazing rod, but weirdly didn't seem to...

This is my actual PB - a 16lb 2oz fish caught from Hants Avon back in 2009. Thought I'd never be able to beat it but then came across some fishing up the A1(M) where apparently there were multiple fish that were bigger. Lost one of the very biggest when I'd had it on for ages and had almost had...

I think this one would have been my PB, but for a hook pull yards away from my net....!

Hello - fake casters on a short hooklink with a feeder can work well if theres lots of nuisance silvers - do a normal hair and put three fake casters on before pushing the hair back through the eye of the hook (something like a 14) before blobbing it with a lighter. It's too big for the small...

Pretty sure I paid thirty quid for a plate of that at some restaurant in West London...
