Well ... it's essential tackle to me !!!

Post by AshbyCut »

Not to be resisted was this vital addition to the back pocket of every Gentleman's Breeks ... especially when two of the towns in the north west corner of the engraved map accounted for much of his early fishing years and both his Grammar School Alma Maters !!! ... and all for seven quid delivered !!! Hurrah !!!

How lovely Mal, to have something which links you with your past. I think all TFFers have an element of revisiting their lost childhood or youth in the tackle, associated items and methods we choose to use for our angling.....its what makes us what we are....just chaps and chapesses who yearn for a simpler way of life......
