Walker Mk IV Carp Rod by Chris Ball

I stumbled across this great little video on You Tube today.

Spooky - I've just sat at my PC after reading Kevin Clifford's discourse on the history of nine of Walkers MK4s.

Good find Mark and good memories (apart from my speeding ticket! :hide: )

I keep replaying a bit I have on a Matt Hayes DVD with Chris fishing with trad gear, its great.

Lovely stuff, I could listen to Chris all day - but then, when he's in full flow you have no alternative :D

This clip comes from the 'fishingfilmsandfacts' website. Does anyone know if it was made specifically for them or is it part of a television programme or DVD release?

ETA - It's just dawned on me - don't know why it's never registered on me previously - that the original MkIV is the same age as I am. Don't quite know what to think about that ...
