The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Totally bonkers, I hold my hand up.
But what you don't see is, I've had fun making it. And whilst I'm whittling, I'm technically 'busy' so unavailable for chores.










The rod is all set up ready to fish, I've even baited the hook with bread (imitation).
The sarnie is ham and mustard...
Three replica Harcork floats, 1 Avon, a perch bobber and and a stick float all measuring just 15mm.
Frame size 15" x 8"
Old Holborn tin 15mm x 8mm
The photo I took on a trek along the Sussex Ouse to find the perfect swim that had just the right image.
The focus on my photograph background is purposely ( ) pixelated close up so my work 'pops' but in focus three feet away.
Not sure what's left to tell you....except maybe I'm bonkers, but I figure you all know that by now...

From bonkers come brilliance. Great work Rich, next job is to make a gigantic one.

An absolutely wonderful creation Rich and yes you are definitely bonkers mate.

There's a very fine line between genius and madness and in your case I think it's about 12oz breaking strain.

Wal.

Genius at work ... I'm in awe !!!

Lovely work

Brilliant!

I love artists, I have absolutely no idea how they do what they do but love them all the same.

Bonkers? I think we all need a little bonkers in our lives!

Fantastic

The lengths you've gone to, I'm utterly intrigued as to where you got/how you made the different parts? It is amazing and a thing of wonder.

s'funny...there's no image on my screen, but I have seen it and I love it!

Edit: They're all there now...weird!

A reel labour of love (spelling on purpose) a very skilled piece of art fantastic mike
