I got an Okuma Sheffield.
I also got the poorest service from a tackle shop I have ever had. Shame on you Danson Angling.
I would never advise anyone to use them, its not the first time they have given me poor service, but it will be the last. Bunch of total to55ers.

I got a Shimano Aspire Pro Competition carryall (which im still in two minds about as I preferred my older broken Shimano one) and Avanti Cyclotherm Suit (which I shall be review on my blog in due course). I guess I complained about being cold a bit to often but now I have no excuse, especially as I had thermal wellies to (excuse the pun) boot! Just need to give them a good test now!

I got a Delkim and the associated bits and bobs (Nite-lite, Duo-Carb etc) to make a three rod set up rather than my previous two.
I have bought the odd fishing pressie for myself though and just got back from a post Christmas tour of Leeds tackle shops.

Forgot to add I got my pro-logic brolly, even though she bought it me weeks ago! Her dear old dad got me a korum chair bag, just what I wanted!

Drennan 13-15'0 Floatmaster bought from Fosters in Birmingham (excellent customer service and matched the "clearance" price being offered by another company on the internet). As soon as the Severn slows down a bit I'll put a review on.

I rang these clowns once with a view to buying a set of three Shimano reels, but they decided that their advertised web price was wrong and wanted to hike the price. Needless to say the call was cut short and I bought from another Company - Mr Fish I think - who were excellent. I would have to be desperate to return to Dansons.

I wanted a new pin and the prices on their website seemed pretty competitive, so I rang them to see that they had the reels I wanted in stock and checked on the prices. "Yeah, in stock and the prices are correct". I went to the shop and he showed me the reels he had, the one advertised for £149 had risen to £320 and the other one was also dearer than they quoted, the muppet serving me didn't even have the good grace to apologise for messing me about. I could have bought an Okuma Sheffield from them, but I went to Anglers Base in Penge and they matched their price anyway. What's more the service was first class. I should have gone there in the first place.

I got the book "the accidental angler" by Charles Rangley Wilson. A brilliant read; couldn't put it down.

Bit of history to put this in context. Way back in 1972 Leicester AS (otherwise known as the Likely Lads) won the Div 1 National, each member of the team was given a Mitchell 410 as part of the prize for winning. My Dad was part if the team and gave me said Mitchell this Christmas-in original box, never used, so therefore i mint condition! (he had about 3 Mitchell's already so did net need another)

A Greys Distance Plus spod rod with a Daiwa Emblem spod reel - the biz, and a signed copy of Mick Browns new pike book - not had a chance to read it yet.
Oh us, a Trakker NXG quiver, a super bit of kit that keeps made up rods tight and compact.

Exactly...If I told my wife I wanted a Mach3 Waggler she might have thought I wanted some sort of sex toy...

New chest waders, these ones do at least keep the river on the outside, which is nice particularly in winter.
