Do they do a lighter one Jez ? Birthday next month

 

[Steve Hayward]

I'll have to give it a miss as well with the depressed state of finances and xmas...........

The Chairman on Thursday


Indeed, I had the firm make a fly rod for each of my Lady Guides; they're such tarts, after all.

Excessive? No. One has to spend one's ill-gotten somehow, and what with the gals each already owning the entire catalogues of Agent Provocateur, Rigby & Peller etc...


As ever,

Shame the reel seat's only 18 carat gold, had it been 24 I'd have had a pair.

Yep bloody cheapskates

 

[Steve Hayward]

Think it was a practicality - 24 carat probably to soft to hold the reel properly.

Certainly put dyna-balance to the test.

 

[Alex Gowney]

Maybe Purdey or Boss should go into rodmaking to produce some bespoke gear to rival this..

 

[Steve Hayward]

no no no - next we will have chavs etc on the bank and fishing tackle will be high street bling

 

[David Hall]

i know what i'm getting for xmas now.

 

[Jon Frisby]

I have been looking for a new tool to hit the far bank of the TT.....

Yes i think it would manage to do that Jon

 

[Robert Woods]

I believe Dragoncarp are doing them for £35 a pair...!!!

 

[Chris Jones]

I'll have two please.

 

[Garry Lee]

Now if they did a 1.75 TC, then i'd be interested!

 

[Jon Berry]

At last, a rod to make E. Barder's wands look cheap. Makes the Merlin i'm ordering next month look like a steal.

 

[Craig Marsden]

Need some lures to go with it?

It was great to look at these rods, a tackle tarts dream, but what about a tackle tarts reel, have a look at some hand made reels by Hollands Ari Hart,
quite cheap as well, prices starting in the hundreds to over a thousand or two.
