I'm no chef but a little bit of vegetable oil in a small batch could work ?

Hard spectacle cases will carry around 15 balsas,loafers,chubbers, avons etc been using them for twenty years plus. Haydns cases are far more pleasing to the eye though.

For those anglers with Mitchell Reels there is a great website called Mitchell Reel Museum where you can date your reel, a serial number is usually found on the reel foot ( the part that sits against the rod ?) the website has a section that you can reference against, providing you can read the...

Shame I already have three Bill, brilliant rods and a bargain.

No problems with my 300's or 410's either David, looked after them from day one 1980. Iconic reels that lots of anglers used from 1950's ? onwards and when I use them now I am in heaven when I hear that coffee grinding noise. I would stick my neck out and say the 300/301 where the biggest...

A sentimental reason to go fishing is one of the best reasons to go Dave.....brilliant.

Like some on here I've owned many flasks over the last fifty years or so. I am now settled on the Stanley ( green ones) I don't need them to keep my water hot for 30 hours as I don't drink "hot" drinks usually tepid ones but I need the water hot enough to brew a tea bag. I no longer put milk in...

Thanks Bill
