Classic Angling is the baby of Keith Elliott who, up until recently, wrote a weekly column for the Independant on Sunday. It's pretty much a labour of love written for the collector of fishing tackle and associated relics.
Keith's a massive collector himself and has a library as good as any you'll ever see. He's chairman of the Angling Writers Association, too.
Lovely bloke; well written magazine with some really nice, if occasionally obscure articles, with a world-wide appeal. The last one I read had an article (with pix) of Fidel Castro going marlin fishing. Lots of history within the covers.
It's glossy, superbly reproduced and would grace any coffee table. Regarded by advertisers as ABC1.
Re: CA vs W'log - buy both Ron. You've plenty of time to read them and they are refreshingly old fashioned without a hint of the malice you find on certain forums. The two mags have as much in common as chalk and cheese with one appealing to man's soul where the other appeal to his material desires.
