It would probably be banned on health and safety grounds. I can only imagine the devastation if a carbon rod broke under that sort of strain :shock:

I think on our next meet-up Mark should try to 'catch' SK on a MKIV and Mitchell 300. :hahaha:

Walker said that he was able to stop a springer spaniel with a MKIV even when someone was calling it at the other end of the garden!

Poor rod.

There a lesson there about going fishing with a 50 year old green heart rod. :lol:

Raven Cottage, south of Sturminster Newton is where Jack H lived after moving from the New Forest.

Lovely Place that!! :thumb:

From memory, not that good these days....there was a nice looking stretch of the Stour near Sturminster. Lovely house.
