Just taken a good long look at the on-line catalogue. Can't believe the amount and quality of gear being sold!!! Take a look, you won't be disappointed!
Next time you get moaned at for "too much fishing tackle", just quote this one guys collection going under the hammer next Tuesday at Perth Auction House. One of the biggest privately owned collections of fishing tackle ever sold.
A member of our local angling club, of which I am Secretary, kindly donated some tackle to be sold to help club funds.
Amongst the boxes of gear were several old reels. They are not in the best of conditions but I was wondering if anyone on this forum can identify them? Do they have any value?
I used to love watching Jack Hargreaves in my youth.
Have you realised that both Jack H and Mr Crabtree smoked pipes? I'm going to get me one and see if that's the answer to successful fishing!!
😂😂
SNAP! I too have a book just out "Reeling Back the Years" relating tales from a lifetime of fishing! Also available on Amazon and on order from all good bookshops!
I'll have to buy your book Paul and compare our adventures! In fairness mine are more akin to mishaps! 😂
On reflection I think you guys are right...maybe it's a bit of kit I don't need. Along with about 20 rods (many duplicated) same number of reels and goodness knows how much terminal gear!!
I can't be the only one... surely? 😂😂
Have any of you purchased the Daiwa N'ZON Feeder Bag, the one with the front opening that holds 3 x tackle boxes? I enjoy all types of fishing and only make up my mind what method to try "on the day". I could go trotting, feeder fishing, lure/dropshotting etc etc. After I have decided I then...
Hi Mike. Like you, I am intrigued by this subject. I make mention of this in my book "Reeling Back the Years" (available on Amazon & all good bookshops!!) Seriously, I saw what I believe was a big cat in rural Norfolk some years ago when driving back home from a fishing match. It was dusk and my...
This photo taken by my mate of me holding a barbel caught on The Creel actually won a prize for the worst photo in a competition held by a fishing magazine. The rod rest sticking out of the top of my head made me look like a Tellytubby according to the judges! 😂
Hi Steve. Cars are as emotive as fishing to us guys, I'm finding out after my original post!! 😂
I have a 66 plate Lauren & Klement Yeti 4x4 manual petrol. Lots of extras, including leather trim, panoramic roof etc. I fitted it with Goodyear All Season tyres and it's a "go anywhere" vehicle. BUT...
Yes, I agree to get the best deal, buy two. One is £60.60 (Inc p&p) which isn't particularly cheap, particularly if you can just buy one from your local tackle shop and not pay the p&p.
Good reels though 👍
Some great information following my original post. Thank you all. I'm erring towards a Volvo if I'm honest. My days of ďriving vast distances are over. I tend to just drive within the county so mpg not a massive issue. As for hybrid technology I am clueless. My wife has a Suzuki with a "hybrid"...
I think everyone should have a copy of my book "Reeling Back the Years" (see classifieds) on their list. Unabashed plug. Sorry.
😂😂😂
Merry Christmas to all and Tight Lines for 2024!
Blimey David, I thought my Yeti was cavernous but your Volvo seems like a real load lugger.
My problem has always been "I'll put this (item) in the car JUST IN CASE" 😂
If there's a gap in my car when I go out fishing, I feel compelled to fill it with some gear!
I glanced at vans and Ford have...
I am a Skoda Yeti fan. On my 3rd one. Its a L&K 4x4 manual petrol version. Goes anywhere. The amount of fishing gear I can cram into it with rear seats down, is unbelievable. But, like so many things in life, it's now discontinued and the replacement is a bland run-of-the-mill SUV. The mileage...
I have just had a book published titled "Reeling Back the Years". It is a collection of stories about my angling adventures collected over 60+ years of pursuing my passion. I am sure many of you on this forum will relate to some of the stories!
Available from all bookshops quoting ISBN...
