....a cleanin' and a lubin'!
I have not been out fishing for a while and have set aside considerable time this weekend to tidy up my tackle (modern and vintage) in readiness for some trips to the bank. I have derived great satisfaction from finally sorting out some old/vintage reels I have accumulated.
My victims have been 2 x Mitchell 324, 1 x Mitchell 300, 2 x Allcocks Aerialites and 1 x ELO (the last 3 are Bakelite swimming reels but I suspect you all knew that anyway). All have ben relubed and will be ready for some action soon :-)

The good angler is not the one with expensive equipment. Common sense, observation and trying to realize
what is happening above and below water will catch fish no matter what price equipment you fish with.

Sometimes I think I enjoy the tinkering as much as the fishing!
