Re: Redditch Tackle Fair
I popped in for an hour or so, looking for a user Trudex....didn't come home with one this time but there was some nice stuff on show and had a pleasant couple of hours checking out bits of the Bristol Avon on the way back.
Would have said hello if I'd have known who was who!

Re: Redditch Tackle Fair
An enjoyable morning as usual. I nearly came away without buying anything (Other than my bacon roll). But just as I was about to leave I was tempted by a Chapmans 500 in need of some repair and a refurb. The deal was done for the princely sum of £30 and I now have a rod I have been after for a while and a great winter project to keep me occupied.
I normally always look forward to buying the latest issue of Fallon's Angler at the fair, but unfortunately Garrett and friends were not there yesterday.

Re: Redditch Tackle Fair
I am surprised that you could not find a user Trudex at a decent price, there seemed to be loads on show? I met several new TFF faces, but I think that we will have to arrange a fool proof way of meeting up at these fairs, TFF badges are usually worn by most members, but they are small!Penrhos wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 1:08 pm I popped in for an hour or so, looking for a user Trudex....didn't come home with one this time but there was some nice stuff on show and had a pleasant couple of hours checking out bits of the Bristol Avon on the way back.

Re: Redditch Tackle Fair
I did find, pick up and spin a few Trudexes (and a Match Aerial) but spent a bit too long um-ing and ah-ing hence ended up with nothing - oh well! I figured I might be able to look up the dealers online later.Lea Dweller wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 5:26 pmI am surprised that you could not find a user Trudex at a decent price, there seemed to be loads on show?

Didn't notice any badges myself - I'd stupidly left my glasses in the car and thought I might look a bit strange squinting at people's lapels.
