Edgar Sealy 12' Black Arrow float rod with a repaired tip section that is very nice to use
Anyhow - moving back to the original post...what would Chris Yates have in his study?
Are we in agreement his rod collection would be along the lines of:
Chapmans Hunter
Richard Walker MKIVs
Barder selection (Merlin, Barbus Maximus, Bishop)
If I believe all the various interviews and articles I've seen written about Chris, he must have quite a valuable reel collection. If we're split on his rod selection, surely we must agree he has some tasty centrepins? Pretty sure I heard talk of a few Richard Carter's and a Paul Witcher...and what was that aerial reel in the 'A Passion for Angling' episodes?
Something that puzzles me a little, do those on nostalgia trips go the whole hog and use the reel lines/hooklinks of the day?:confused:
Sounds quite idylic Paul. If I'm honest that's probably not a million miles behind what I have in mind, admittedly in my case its more of a naive folly into the split cane world to see what its like. I can't realistically see split cane taking over from my mainstay carbon rods - but for a few odd trips, it could be quite entertaining.
It's interesting that even Hardy acknowledged that fibreglass rods had properties beyond that of cane back in the day (cast distance, etc)...
