Title: Hello from UK
Post by: Nipper on April 29, 2019, 08:04:35 PM
Hello, All.

I have been an angler since the mid 1970s and live in an area of the UK where I have good access to sea fishing and coarse & game fishing are available to me only what many of you would consider a relatively short drive away. Whilst I own much new tackle and am fully appreciative of its great virtues I am also a keen user and collector of vintage tackle: which in my case means mainly 50s to 80s. I have been servicing and maintaining fishing reels for many years now and still get a buzz from getting an old and possibly badly cared for reel to run about as well as it could reasonably be expected to. Also, some of the reactions I get from other anglers when I'm using the vintage stuff can be fun. Looking around here I was immediately struck by it being just the kind of site for me and I hope to get involved and hopefully contribute.

Cheers,

DAVE.

Welcome, I am sure you will enjoy this site and once you get a feel for the members, you will realize this place is different from other fishing/hunting sites as the folks here really go out of their way to help each other out.
