The western 3 rods are nice the 10FT#7 would be a braw boat rod and the rest are really well finished with a nice matt blank, if mrs monksmyre would let go of the purse i could maybe get one of them bad boys :z4

Another highlight of the day was the chilli soup made by hamish :z16,come to think about it maybe thats how my erse was numb :shock  :shock

Only kidding Hamish the soup was braw  :z16  :z16

It did actually, it was one angry trout!!  Really nice fish, only about 3lb but really went well and in excellent condition, still cannot believe it took that lure that was on the end of about 4ft of 25lb fluorocarbon!  The rod was quite light, 13ft 7wt and not that stiff made really easy work of covering water  :z4

Cheers

Dave23 were you fishing in the boat with Jedi?
Monksmyre were you the guy that was up to drop his daughter off at the airport (or something like that)?

Perhaps name badges might be the order of the day in future. :wink

Ben you've sold me on the chest Pack, will go and see Davie after work tomorrow.
