Have you used it yet?

And where did you get the label on the rod bag?

Inspired genius or madness; the dividing line between them is very fine but in this case perhaps only just falling on the side of genius!!!

Brilliantly daft and totally in keeping with the maker. Methinks you'l be heading off to Hampshire for a gudgeon session - if it can take a fish of that size?

Absolutely brilliant, love the little rod bag and especially the label, the reel bands are a miniature marvel and those tiny little rings are a real treat to the old mince pies. :Hat:

You forgot one thing, Richard! You can't use it without a reel!
Some down sized hooks no.20 would be interesting too. You might need to work with a microscope though.

Brilliant! I absolutely love it!
