Problem is Cliff, they send you an email informing you that you must shield so if you are caught out of area you could be in trouble, my nearest coarse river is 43 miles away.
I can recommend that as a mood lifter. 👍 Simon, I already do that too much without being stuck at home.
Mine is going to be the Pfizer varient, my wife had her's last week (she's NHS), she didn't have any side effects, just a tender arm for 48 hours or so.
Just been informed I'm now Clinically Venerable and have to Shield until 31st March :(
Good news is I've got my Covid Vaccination tomorrow.
Good job I've ordered some more books.

I bought 300 Metres of Matrix Horizon mono the other day, when I was loading the spool up I was pleasantly surprised to find a 150 Metre sticker half way through. It's a pity all bulk spools don't have that.
I've got a spare centrepin which has a spool length of 11", so I count out 490 turns for 300 yards or 530 turns for 300 metres.
I then wind the Braid on to a (1st) spool before filling up the remainder of the spool with mono, I then wind that straight onto another spool (2nd) so it is the...
I paid £126 for a pair of GTE5000B reels in excellent condition from here last year but without spare spools including shipping. I bought a new 'old stock' one complete for £75 shipped from Germany on ebay.
Hope this helps.
I have a Deeper Chirp + and use the rod mounted phone adapter with my Samsung S8 and have not had any issues. There are some bankstick holders for phones to enable selfies to be done, no doubt one of those could be adapted to use as a stand.
I am more concerned about loosing the Sonar than the...
I've got all issues from 1 to 50, have been reading them in order and am currently up to 34. Have been surprised at the number of contributions from people on this forum.
Sorry John they aren't for sale.
