Hello all, I hope the start of the river season has been fruitful so far! I have been sidetracked by carp for a bit so will wait until later in the year for a river dabble. Anyway, as per the title, I know it’s bit of a long shot but if anyone has a spare or unused fully working order Micron...

Hi, I picked a set of 32lb Avons up the other week out of curiosity, more than a need to have another set. The case is dark blue in colour which I thought unusual, so much that I can't find a pic on web. Anyone know the history of my mysterious dark blue Avons? Thanks, Jules
