Re: At last, A Forty Fore
I just thought I'd add this photo to this thread. This was the first fish to fall to the 'Forty Fore' since I purchased it, a 20lb+ Redmire common, one of ten carp I caught from the pool last week. Cracking session and a cracking rod, it performed impeccably. Far nicer than my B.James in fact.

Re: At last, A Forty Fore
What a beautiful fish, congrats. Steve Boncey has restored several rods and some reels for me. As well as the quality of his work he is a thoroughly decent and nice chap.

Well done Gurn a cracking fish
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish
