    Narrow Drum Speedia

    Must be 60 years since I first used Autosol, on a BSA C15 crankcase. It's still the best metal polish you can buy.

    Landing net head

    The extending handles are very good. I replaced my Gardner 3mtr with the D.V. Lighter, strong and no problems with the locking mechanism.

    Drennan Acolyte Specimen Rod

    These tactics would never work for me, been married too long. She knows all my little tricks and only falls for one when she needs me to agree to something she wants 😂. It's called "married bliss".

    Frozen Hemp

    Seriously, I've had frozen hemp for two years plus and when defrosted has looked and smelt fine. So I would say use it.
