Yes, I had a look at one on line... quite and ugly looking thing! But then again its down to personal taste.
I like the Fisherman in the trilby hat motif though and I must say I like the rods.
Pegley Davis also made them.
The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!

What a lovely old reel.

(Jeff Lynne's favourite brand - come on, someone had to mention it).

I think Jeff Lynne must have one! Slot in well with his style! Always been a fan myself.
I will see if I can find out?
