New member from Devon
Allow me to introduce myself, Chris from Devon, that should about cover it 56 year old, 46 years spent fishing, and still own the very first Woolworth rod I started out with in the 70's.
Just completed a light restoration of an 11 foot, Homers of London, split cane three piece course rod known as the "Daily Mirror Prize Rod" and just recently purchased an A.E.Rudge & Sons of Redditch "The Duchess" 10 foot and a bit, Fly rod, which will also require light refurbishment.
I also collect vintage fishing items of the "other" material, all of which get used regularly as they were intended to be.
