Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen :Hat:

I must admit that sometimes I get a bit carried away , and where I make one item , suddely I realise that there are actually more than one, perhaps a halfdozen or sometimes many more.

They are just giant shot tubes really I suppose .

If every time we went a fishin’ we were to take all the bits and bobs we collect as items of tackle, we would spend all day tripping up, carrying , lugging “stuff” and spend precious little time actually doing what we set out to do.

Guilty as charged Mi Lud !

Thanks for the nice words chaps. :Hat:

Since making the above, I managed to rescue a third bit of bamboo tube, it was not in as good a condition as the other two but after a fair bit of messing around I came up with this.

I should add it has already been claimed by a forum member who clapped eyes on it earlier and made me an offer I could not refuse :Chuckle:
