Evening fellow members, i am Tanglemaster. A name chosen for a very good reason! Tangled nylon, poor casting and lost floats have blighted my angling for half a century and despite what some might consider a level of experience consistent with many years alongside rivers in the North West, canals and still waters of varying size, my basic skills have barely improved! Despite that, i love my fishing, being beside water, and enjoy using tackle which at best might be described as vintage. I still have, and fish with, my first rod and reel - an11ft Forshaws Palace B Whole can rod with fibreglass tip and a Little Krakka centre pin - later replaced with an Intrepid Envoy reel.
The object of my desire though was a 11ft Richard Walker Mk1V Avon and an Allcocks Match Aerial and eventually the prize was mine and today i still fish with these still pristine items of tackle together with a collection of floats -some of which are my originals and others i have acquired since. Regrettably, my old seat basket will no longer sustain my weight! I still buy items of vintage tackle when i can but would love to buy a pear drop shaped landing net sometime.
I hope to make the odd contribution as a new member and learn from you guys. Tight Lines, Tanglemaster

Tanglemaster welcome to the TFF Sir
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
