I could not think of another title for this thread (that I could write here) that would be appropriate.
It is probably down to my increasingly obvious lack of knowledge, especially when it comes to vintage tackle. Yes, I know about split cane rods, at least that they exist, I can even understand the nostalgia connected with a bygone age but discovering that people are parting with many thousands of pounds to buy replicas of inferior rods (compared to modern tackle), or at least new rods made using an old fashioned and inferior materials and techniques amazes me.
Why?
If I wanted to experience the 'feel' of old tackle I would want old tackle. I just don't get it. I expect that most of you know about THIS company. Just take a look at the prices.
Please don't think I am having a go at the company or anyone who buys their goods, I am just curious to find who does.
