Just wonderful
There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.

Re: Hardly perfection but...
When Richard sent me some photos a little while ago I loved the miniature beauty so much that I commissioned him to make a limited edition of 12 for me: so you know where they'll be available shortly!
Reel wise I think a Hardy Triumph is the way to go - I'll post a picture of the combination when I get my grubby paws on the rod!

Don't you just love the eccentricity of the British?
How I wish that I had the skill to make such a wonderful rod
Hats off to you sir

Re: Hardly perfection but...
A quick look at the Hardly Perfect star back reel to go with the Hardly Perfection minnow rod.
1 1/4" Diameter, shown here compared to a 4" Diameter reel. yep, definitely madness..

What a loverly little reel Wal, that I do like as being very unique
The only thing is though is that you'd be there for ever batting the reel in trying to get yer float back from at the end of the run

Re: Hardly perfection but...
Thanks Stuart, but it will probably only hold about 5 yds of line and I think it would take a Mackerel float in the Severn bore to get it spinning.STUART WHITING wrote:What a loverly little reel Wal, that I do like as being very unique
