So in a big treat to me  (just me, no-one else but me, just me  ) I made a wee purchase which arrived today..... now follows some pics of the unpacking:

Well wrapped.... 

Really well packed....

Hmmmm..........

Drooling....

Yum

I'm going to get this loaded up and used within the next week. Boy... it is loud but in a good old school on steroids type way. I love it  I wanted something solid and just that wee bit different to the mainstream and this is it, feels a lot more solid than the Hardy Cascapedia (which was a possibility) and it's not as much of a wide-boy as the Loop Classic. Nice toy.

I'm not paranoid about using it one little bit

Nice one Hamish

Lovely bit of smutter Hamish, are you becoming a Tackle tart?    Derek Roxborough

[Hamish Young]

Never any doubt about it Derek, I am a complete tackle tart 

[Euan Innes]

OK Tart,
Nice to see that it is named after the store you got it from, 7/11 which I am sure is not as bad as 9/11
I usually know when you have hooked a fish because you scream like a girl (or at least like my mum) my name so at least the reel will sound better than that.
Does it make the same noise when it is up yer rectum or has SWMBO let you away with it????
Looks ace btw, and can't wait to hear it.

 

[Hamish Young]

SWMBO has been remarkably calm about it all 
I put this down to the distraction of a (nearly) four year old running around the place generally winding her up
There is method in my madness

to  mis-quote an old saying, "money spent on quality kit is rarely wasted". looks beautiful. i got a Tibor last year and it's better than a Swiss watch

and here's me with My SKB, and I thought I was being extravagant, I would like a Dormisch Abse but I think they stopped making them,  Derek Roxborough

[Hamish Young]

That Dormisch reel is very similar in concept to the Shooot Backwinder (hubless design) but looks a whole lot more sophisticated Derek, like the look of that. I had a Backwinder for a while, nice reel, but I've only ever seen the Dormisch reels in the pages of FF&FT.

Yes Hamish I have the pic in a scrap book, they are made in Argentina, but very hard to find out any thing else, Derek Roxborough

[James Laraway]

this was what i was using last thurs...



Mr Young is no longer the 'king of bling' 

[Hamish Young]

James, I'm just a tackle tart 👍

[Derek Roxborough]

So James do you wear dark glasses while you fish with that set up, ?it is very Blingy, but I have an electric blue reel with out the jazzy bits, you cant lose them though can you? not like the Cammo one that is still up the hill some where, that was an expensive day out  Derek Roxborough
