My Sabina
Posted: Tue May 20, 2014 12:16 pm
A couple of years back J.T. gave me a lovely little rod (thanks again J.T.) whilst at Bury Hill fishing for crucians. The rod was a Dawson's of Bromley 'Sabina'. It felt a lovely rod and I was eternally grateful, but couldn't help thinking that such a lovely rod, and indeed gift, deserved a little tidy up. I used the rod once before the end of that season on the Kennet and caught a chub.
Soon after I fished the Itchen and Paul Cook was amongst us. I had the rod in my boot and asked Paul if he'd kindly give it a once over for me, when he could fit it in of course, such a skilled man is sure to be insanely busy. Paul kindly accepted and took the rod home with him.
Today I am one very happy chap. The rod has arrived back to me and is now my favourite rod. Its like a new rod, it now smiles and I cannot wait to get out and target those crucians using my new wand.
Very many thanks Paul, you have excelled yourself sir!!!!

(I'm sorry, the photos really don't do the rod justice, I'm yet to master the art of photographing rods)
