After corresponding with a number of people, I came to the conclusion that this could be a long term project. Well, that ended up not being true and I am now the very proud owner of a Homer No. 57 Combination rod and a Flick ‘Em with the elegant wire line guard and calliper check. In the next few weeks they will both be fishing again on their spiritual homes: the River Lea, the Lea Navigation and possibly the Hertford Union Canal.
Some pictures below but I must offer my sincere thanks to Lee (Ljm183) and Steve Middleton for their advice and help.
