Happily Paul had his delivered undamaged and is happy with the rod so all ends well.

Yes that does look nice. I tried for ages to get one pre COVID . Went for a peregrine in eventually.

I went through parcel hero rather than ups direct. Ups were clearly the cheapest at around £26 odd. But when addressee is added their cost jumps by a fiver if it is a private address. Therefore to a private individual even with UPS its over 30£. Be aware.

Paul king bought the hardy. Hope to hear he is happy when delivered by ups to him today so I can release the money to my pal. By coincidence meeting him today at decoy lakes. Did u re buy the seers? Did I see u on FB?

Sold.

to be honest Chris I think tackle shops only stock rods as a lost leader. When looking at the finance costs of running a business they are a pure waste of time and money. TT I agree are a niche seller who are successful in the own way but new rods seem a great idea ,but! They are likely to...

From the serial nos on some of my Hardy's I guess they made maybe 1000 of some of the rànge. Can't think tt will have that no but I know even now a certain manufacturer will for tackle shops do a run of 100. Dead stock is a burden however many u have. Agree with you re quality but custom like my...

I will reserve judgement on the quality of finish until I actually see one but you may well be right. Yes them both leaving although at different times left a bitter taste for me. I expect to see the rods at a/d at less than half price one of these days as indeed happened to hardy.

that's just what they are meant to be.

I have bid for 2 so far Joe. Unsuccessfully though. They were organized by dave coster of supero fame. But he left Tomas Tuner shortly after they were launched.There is a feeder, new on ebay for 170.I have bid 120 because that's what I think it worth to me. My offer was rejected. I am quite...

Good reel and price Robert. Should sell well. Out of my league sadly.

It's still going I think, last time I looked . I ran it 77 to 82.

Funny you should say that Neil. Over 40 years ago I negotiated with the liquidator and bought the magazine title Health & Efficiency. You may be too young to recall that. I also set up an organisation to publish it. Fond memories.

Now , one last rod to get. Who has a shimmy aspire ultra medium, feeder?

I am sure its safe to say it was Cliff who came to my rescue and collected so making this happen. I picked it up from him yesterday , cleaned it up and rigged up this morning. Will try it out next week. Thanks to all who made this work out so well.

surely that was matron!

Members of a certain age will remember the daily milk torture on summer mornings. Pre refrigeration in milk delivery vehicles the small bottles by mid morning school break were totally undrinkable . Try spilling milk on a car carpet which is stuck to the floor!

Ps. Sorry forgot I gave it away.

I have some belachan paste definitely, probably some liquid too if anyone wants it. I won't use it !
