I told my old man about BOS closing down he was shocked as hell, he said they were the first mail order tackle dealer he bought from, I asked him what did he buy from them, many of you will not of heard of this fella or the famouse rod. Well he said he bought a Dick Walker split cane rod, same one that he cought the 44lb carp with lol, and then he said he still has the rod omg must be worth a few quid now.

I remember him having the rod but not seen it for years, must have been the mid to late 60’s when he bought the rod, I will have a look to see if I can get a pic of one, shame really as the place has been in buisness years and years
