Lord Geordie Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Took SWMBO to Morpeth today for a mooch about. We had a nice coffee and browsed through some shops. I decided to take a gander in the game fishing shop. I found this! For the princely sum of £4.99. I just jad to have it. I had one of these as a Child while fishing ryton willows. I used to love it, but had my gear stolen and lost it. SWMBO said My face lit up like a christmas tree when I saw it I checked it over and everything is great so just needs a clean and lube. Will set it up with some 2lb line and use it for perch spinning. I am looking forward to getting out with it now. I will have to try and find a cheap rod from the same era! Chuffed to bits :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldwanderer Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I had a few days fishing on holiday a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it! Haven't been for maybe 15yrs - the shooting's taken over. Can well remember gear similar to that but I'd hazard a guess you're talking a few years further back than I am!

Rimfireboy Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 That's a great story fella, its great when you happen on something like that, and at that price, all the better. You'll get some enjoyment out of that for sure. Congratulations on your find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
