Christmas present for me. A Watermole production.

Post by Fredline »

Leszek asked me what I would like for Christmas and I replied “a set of guns and a dozen boxes of caps”. It was quite evident from the size of the box that it couldn’t’t possibly contain 2 cap guns, so I had to open it.You cannot trust anyone these days, this is what he sent me instead. I could wax lyrically about Watermoles’ skill and attention to detail, the WM made toggles on the bag are a delight, but it has been done many times before so I will let the pictures tell the story.
I have actually bought this gem it was not for free.

If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

A glorious fishing reel John. I am sure that you will enjoy owning and using it. The good news for me is that I have risen up the list of reels on order. Happy days!

Having received a similar package a couple of months ago from Watermole which contained the prototype and then using it for a few testing trips I can guarantee you will absolutely love this reel.
