Ah yes the BP debate, I usually just called it simiply a lineguard :-). It's rare I leave them on the reels as I find them awkward to Wallis cast properly with them inplace. Sometimes leave them on if using big baits for ledgering.

I think that is a little bit of a generalisation on dealers and collectors Badger - who, like any profession or hobby, have good and bad characters. To lump us all in as "Dell Boys" and unwashed goats is a tad unnecessary and offensive! (mind you - not all can be as fragrant as me! :D )

Ah I'm not being serious Jim. Just seeing if anyone reacted to a sweeping generalisation, provoke a little comment from a few people I know who come on here. So just seeing if they could be teased into replying ;-).
Just seeing who's nosing around on here. Well see if I can gues who's looking.

No offence taken really B. - and any sort of fishing is a way to pass time I guess!

I tend to agree Paul, leaves me very uneasy all this vintage tackle pornography.
I've just got back into using two North Westerns with Cardinal 55's, I'm having a 80's revival and loving it! At least I remembered it the first time around.

Wow Tad, the 8os
Now I was 16 in 1983, having started fishing in 81 and stopped in 83 for all the usual reasons....But an 80s revival. I shudder and chuckle at the thought :hahaha: The tackle was good though.
What rods you using Tad?
