        I thought we would start the day with a nice cheerful post. So here goes. I once sold a Mitchel match and an ABU 501 for £4.00 each and a vintage handmade wooden box full of flies that must have had hundreds of man hours put in for a measly fiver. Don’t ask why, It was when I went off fishing.

                    don’t do it hookpulledagain, you’ll definately regret it especially when the summer comes

                    I had a break from fishing when I discovered beer, football & girlies (aged 17 thru to 26 ish) – the last 2 items I sold were my much treasured & hard-earned Abu 501 & a beautiful hand built 9’6″ Ernest Stamford threaded tip leger rod that I caught my first tench with

                    since then I’ve bought a variety of closed face reels from ebay, including the 501, 503, 506 & a lovely 506m (that’s the one I always wanted as a youth but could never afford)

                    still search ebay most days for the stamford leger rod, saw one once but it was part of a full kit & the seller wouldn’t split

                        I sold all my gear when i got a Vespa and started going on the scooter rallies up and down the country, spent most of the money on drugs,drink and women then wasted what was left. 18mths and a broken leg later the Vespa had been scrapped, I was lucky to be alive and had come through re-hab unscathed, then had to start buying it all again.

                                  Surely the follow up to this thread is “Things you regret breaking”. I’ve not sold too many things that I’ve regretted, but breakages, now that’s another matter entirely!

                                    I sold all my gear about 3 years ago and deeply regretted it especially in the summer.It’s took me ages to build it up again, so i won’t be doing it again.

                                      too true i broke about 12ins off a maver reactorlite 12ft pellet rod on my garage door never having fished with it that still hurts now

                                      i really regret selling my 1999 yamaha r1
                                      and my top of the range carp gear to buy a stupid petrol guzzling subaru impreza. ~sick

                                        My Mum and Dad used to run fund raising for a local blind school and I was helping set up a jumble sale one day when I was about 10 and came across a cane boat rod and a wooden centre pin reel for it. Dropped £2 in the box and took it home. It sat in the corner of my bedroom with all my other rods and never moved so after about 5 years I gave it to another jumble sale.

                                        I’m sure I’ve seen articles in fishing mags etc showing the same reel selling for £100’s. :0(

                                                  I sold My 13ft Mio New Era Supelight and wished I didn’t after a few months as it was such a good rod.

                                                  Although recently I picked one up brand new for £40 from a guy who had a load of Mlo old stock so now have another one!!~clap
