i think it may have been posted before but well worth a look,in the days when the rods were thicker than todays poles ,hardly a tackle sponsors name in sight and the dress code was a little more relaxed but these lads could fish a bit

thank goodness for carbon fibre. I don't think I could hold a 13ft glass rod all day these days...
thanks for posting, great nostalgia ! |

Those were the days.....
I fished competitions with 2 set ups..... an ABU Mk6 with a ABU 506, then a 9ft rod with screw in quiver tip and a Mitchell Match. A basket to sit on, although you needed a foam cushion to avoid 'basket bum'.
A little later I bought a 9 metre (or 26ft as advertised) fibreglass pole..... oh boy, that was heavy after a couple of hours... lol |

| I was sea fishing in those days, but it brought back some memories - from the fibreglass to the haircuts. In those days there was less technology, but the skill levels were proportionately greater. Maybe there is a moral in there somewhere. |

nostalgia.........it's not what it was
I'm more times revised than revisited as much of the gear they're using there has more appeal to me now than my modern gear |

When I first started fishing matches in the early 1970’s I had a two rod set up, an Apollo Taper Flash (reckoned to be the dogs danglies in those days) twinned with an Abu 505 and a 9' 6" Milbro ledger rod with a screw attachment on the tip ring for a swing tip, coupled with a Mitchell 300. I sat on an Efgeeco “Major” seatbox that weighed a ton empty, let alone with anything in it. With a couple f pints of maggots, a pint of hemp, a bag of Pomenteg groundbait and 20 No. 6 tipped you were ready to go.
With a mullet haircut, tank top and turned down wellies I must have looked a right plonker
The rods (and the hair) are long gone, but the reels are still going strong.

| They were good old days but fishing has improved for the better. Just look at there nice soft basket at the weight in! and only once did I see a landing net being used. |
How do the fish know when you pick up your flask! |

| Having watched this a couple times now, it makes me think, how many of us would now approach that river armed with a gallon of maggots to target the roach and bream??? |
