Another Yorkshireman
Hello My name is Paul. I'm from Wakefield in west Yorkshire. I'm 71 years old.
I've been interested in angling since being a schoolboy, and it's nice to find a forum that is interested in the tackle, I used when I was young. I haven't fished for a number of years but of late, since finding this forum, my interest has been re-kindled.
I love centrepin reels. at the moment I have five maybe six unless I gave the cheap alcocks away? They are all in different states of repair and with your help I hope to change that.
I have two cane rods, both of which need refurbing.
Thank you for allowing me a place here.
Paul

Welcome Paul. You will find many kindred spirits on this forum. Good luck with the refurbishment projects, there is a wealth of advice and help within the TFF should you need it.
