could only to save one fishing rod that a fire was about to engulf your entire tackle collection😭 what would you choose?
Mine would be the old Drennan Tench .
Not only is it a beautiful rod it would cover a wide variety of species to fish for.

It’s probably my least valuable rod but the most useful to generic fishing situations under small compromise.

Can I trott with it … yes
Can I feeder fish with it ….. yes
Could it possibly put a small dead bait out … yes
Could it land a 15lb barbel….. yes
Could it drop 5 oz out in margins…. Yes
Could it land small species without bumping them…. Yes.
 
Hi men,

My good friend Colin gave me/grandson Eddie a split cane rod on his birth , and we will christen it one day as Colin thinks it's a bit of a special one 🤫😉 .

That's a tough one Neil and in all honesty I'd probably give up fishing cos I would miss my other rods too much.
Until I've replaced all my favourites is when I would restart.
