Once a celebrated method of bite indication, but barely gets a mention nowadays. Is this another example of bite detection relegated to the dustbin?
Once a familiar sight on the River Witham and Welland, and on many still waters across the country. But I haven't seen one employed for many years now. Such a shame for what constitutes a milestone in angling.
The reason for this post results from a conversation I had over the weekend. One friend was intrigued by the rod, and never having used one persuaded me to loan him mine in order for him to make his own assessment. So I await the feedback.
