Aluminium parts or not I can't understand how this slipped through the net (see what I did there) without anyone commenting on how good it looks. Well done Richard, it looks fabulous.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Beautiful landing net, Richard! I wouldn't mind the aluminium.
