I see in today's Courier that there is going to be a huge private collection of fishing tackle up for grabs in a Perth auction next week!

See: https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/perth-kinross/4901564/perth-auction-house-angling-gear-sale/

More than 500 lots, 200+ rods including 70 by Hardy, reels, nets, rod bags, books, etc etc.

The four day auction goes live on Tuesday 27th Feb and the catalogue is now online:

Has Mrs Young gone into one of the outbuildings and discovered Hamish's treasure trove ?

No, it cant be that, he has way more than 200 rods....

That's a lot of lots ..........

But can you find an item in that selection that you would actually bid for and buy?

Plenty of good lots in there, some odd valuations too

Got my eye on a couple of things, I might bid

If I still went trolling/spinning, the Rapala lots (and other lures) are potential bargains

A lot of old Milbro rods. They were my first proper rods in fibreglass. I remember my fly rod was bright yellow!

So is my Japanese Kabuto 8’ 5wt that I’ve just finished ready for the 2024 season.
