"Just before the war Mr. W. F. Homer (whose 'Flick 'Em' Sheffield style reel is a delightful piece of work), of Forest Gate, did much to popularise Sheffield tactics in the South."
Having recently acquired a pre-war 'Flick 'Em,' I'd been looking for a period rod (ish) to match it to.
Thanks to Bumble I have found one ... and just to show I'm not TOTALLY Precision obsessed ... I will soon be taking possession of a Hardy "Sheffield Style" rod with original bag ... a whole cane butt, spliced whole cane centre section, and split cane tip.
A 'match' made in heaven ? More details when it arrives.
