Coupled with one of their pins if you could find one !I'm not a traditional angler but given the chance I think I could become a floppy hatted, Wallis casting nightmare quite easily. On that note I think as a retirement present, I would love an Edward Barder rod. They really are a thing of beauty.

Simon.I'm due to retire in the new year and was thinking I might treat myself to something fishing related when I do. Trouble is, I'm not sure if I need anything.
A custom made pair of floodwater rods could be top of the list, but I'm very happy with the pair I have at the moment. I'm not a collector or seller of rods, and the five rods I have now are fine for the Barbel fishing I currently do.
Three custom Carp rods ?? I don't go often enough to warrant them.
A centrepin ?? It's not the sort of thing I've ever yearned for, although they are very nice.
Any ideas ??
Yeah I've seen them around, look weird from the back of it, but heard they go well! I do love the look of the toyota supra G.R 2.0... Don't like the BMW involvement in the engine! Shame is wasn't an all out Japanese build spec.I've always loved cars, and fast ones. Just been up to a Toyota showroom to see if I fancy making some memories in a new GR Yaris.
I've been on Chris Lythe's order books for about 3 years... Can't see them coming to fruition if I'm honest.
I’d rather a Chris Lythe with enough change for nice weekend break somewhere myself.
I remember when Barders released that reel thinking how over priced it was for an outsourced manufactured, machined, and frankly boring looking reel. Needless to say the The Barder fans snapped them up quick enough that they sold out.
How about a Spitfire flight out of Duxford, it's expensive @ about 5k I think?I'm due to retire in the new year and was thinking I might treat myself to something fishing related when I do. Trouble is, I'm not sure if I need anything.

I’ve heard this from others before Julian. You’ll get a phone call out of the blue one day telling you it’s ready.I've been on Chris Lythe's order books for about 3 years... Can't see them coming to fruition if I'm honest.
I'll have them when or if they arrive no worries. Great investments, but I'll be using them!I’ve heard this from others before Julian. You’ll get a phone call out of the blue one day telling you it’s ready.
As a warning of the perils in delaying these milestone purchases, I remember lusting over a Lythe reel and considering buying it for my Fortieth. I balked at the price back then, thirteen years ago - £325 seemed a bit extravagant .
These days of course it’s just three stops at the filling station and I regularly mug myself off for my stupidity.
Fair enough. They certainly ain’t for everyone@Richard Isaacs centre pin is a thing of beauty, it really is, and what a piece of engineering it is. Fantastic. I just don't see myself using one. Same with a Barder rod. Lovely things, but not really for me

Hi Ian.What model have you got on order Julian?
Fair enough. They certainly ain’t for everyone
Do share when you reach your decision
,.......And Freespirit power float rods.
Go on Simon ..As Del Boy would say “you know it makes sense!”Having said all that. I've been looking at centrepins on various sites all day. They are very tempting.
