So it would appear Bumble, Paul has left the image up on his site just to rub it in:

I was wrong, though...a second one came onto the market last year:

The Number one that I imaged made twice as much...though for some reason the image has gone from the auction now...it wasn't me...honest!

Bumble, have you ever thought of opening your tackle collection up to the public for viewing?

:Hahaha: :Hahaha: :Hahaha:


I'm not sure whether I like you any more..........



Only kidding of course, but I wouldn't make the surely fatal mistake of putting any 'traditional anglers' in your will, if I were you :Wink:

Good god I never paid anything like that Paul makes fantastic rods as well there is one of his upgrades on flee bay at the moment.
If I open to the public you can be my agent Nobby or doorman :Ok:
Just having the loft done up at the moment to hang all the rods correctly my real weakness is reels now that's a story for another day.

The image, though coloured in with Microsoft's 'Paint' programme by me, was on the 'net last year. Clearly part of the new Mr. Crabtree goes Fishing thing, it was 'released' ahead of time, but the website now in existence does allow the image to be copied for no-profit means. It does ask that the image must be used in it's entitety, but I'm afraid the boat has sailed on that one since the image I used was on the 'net long before the website was created.


Bumble, you may know that if you Right Click on the image your PC will throw up a Window from which you can Left Click 'Save Image' and the image will then be stored in your PC in My Pictures, a sub-folder of Documents.

It can then be printed off if you fancy it for your tackle room.



There's no end of fun you can have with a PC when you have too much time on your hands:
