As one does when bored, I have been looking at older Tackle, rods and reels on eBay. I usually then search on Google for any views, reviews or opinions on said Tackle even if it is years old.
It wiles away an hour or so and improves ones historical knowledge of Angling.
I have seen some stuff selling for either silly sums or at least far more than I was prepared to pay. After all nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
I digress. I viewed an old Daiwa connoisseur Whisker Kevlar 11'4" rod at a silly price( it didn't sell) and in a google search, a poster on Maggotdrowners described it as the best rod for skimmers and bream ever made. If that's all it's best for I'll give it a miss.
