I usually buy stuff sensibly – like good-condition, second-hand, tried and tested rods and reels. But I do give in to random irresistible bargains now and again. I spotted a brand new tip section for a Tri-Cast 18' float rod on Ebay. I looked up the model: rrp nearly £400. The Buy It Now price was £15, so I bought it. I don't have the rod, but you never know, the tip might inspire me. Or it might be a fit for one of my long rods. Or I might make something out of it – a brook or canal float rod. A tip section for fishing pole-feeder. At that price....
