Dont tell the misses. I have bought myself a new rod, reel and 3 lines lol.

I have been using my sonic 5# for most if not all my fishing of late. Even on kennick, chew and wimbleball. its got a nice action for fishing smaller waters and smaller flies without fear of brakeages. But it just folds up on full casting alittle and the wind can affect turn over due to line weight. My old 8# , some 21 years old i bought with my pocket money from working on the fish farm is now far too heavy and clumbersome, still capable of chucking a huge line into a head wind, but by the end of a day the wrist plays havock.

So i have had a 10' 7# made for me on harrison blank. A wedgewood reel completes it.

I picked it up today and i think i have just about stopped drewling now lol.

Here i come fishy, sundays your unlucky day lol.

good for you fella. hope you have lots of luck whilst christening it

Can I ask what a wedgewood reel looks like ?

Hey, I've done the same and I've got more rods than the average tackle shop. My latest aquisition is a Guideline 9ft, 9wt for chucking 8 inch pike flies which should prove an interesting diversion from the usual 16s, 18s, and 20s.

But the feeling, having a new rod, with the opportunity for whole new range of opportunities and adventures is absolutely priceless even when you've been doing for more years than you care to admit.

With a new rod that enables you to cast much further - I ask myself if there will be any fish left in Kennick for the rest of us. Enjoy
