Well, Here it is, I have finally finished my budget "Walker Style" net, basically since the last post I have added intermediate whippings to the net arms in black, and on the pole, I used silver intermediate whippings as I had a bit of a spool of silver thread left, it has had a fair few coats of varnish, as have the arms, the net has now been fitted, also, a leather washer underneath the spreader . I was a bit concerned that the silve whippings would be a bit too "Blingy" but with the varnish I think they are satisfactorily muted, plus,they match the silver button on the bottom of the pole.
The net is ready now for hopefully some Spring Tench.
Cracking on with another one soon I think, maybe a slightly different design, with longer arms.

I have just realised that in the corner there is another " almost vintage " sea rod that I am rebuilding, it is a circa late 80's to 90's ZZiplex Quattra, wont be of too much interest on here I suppose, but it will be part of my "to use" older sea angling gear .
