This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Wizard by Name
From the article -
"Wizard moments have also included fishless days, when the rod has lived in tune, and in peace, with the dragonflies, the lilly pads, and this happy, expectant angler."
What a lovely sentiment. Nothing quite like quietness.
Well I never; if you can appreciate that Jeff then you may not be the philistine you make out to be when it comes to 'proper' rods.
By comparison; a carbon rod in those same surroundings and moment of calm would be as out of place as a pork chop at a Bar Mitzvah dinner.

Going to have to take the ferrule off - mine are the 'spikey' ones so pouring araldite down them might cause problems!
It took a while to find the securing pin. Now I'm going to have to buy a really fine centre punch to drive it through.
See Paul, you don't get all this fun with carbon rods![/QUOTE
dont waste more money on such old and obviously falling to bits gear Sean,,,,,just think of how nice those beans will taste with a bloody sirlion joint and roasties after a days efficient fishing with your carbons!:wh
Ah but think of all the fun I'll have restoring these beauties during the close season.
And, any failures will make lovely supports for my sweet peas, much prettier than runner beans!
