          Bob.

          I’m pleased that you like them, feedback has been brilliant and I’ve now started doing dumpy’s which are smaller and wider in dia for fishing very shallow.

                Stu.

                It’s a crap peg and to the best of my knowledge it hasn’t won any matches this year, (Lol).

                Dare I say it was peg 36 on Woody, (ok, so it is bit of a flier and I was really embarrased when I drew it, especially after drawing peg 32 a fortnight ago).

                I caught mainly on the waggler uing the new Shakey 11ft rods, with five or six fish on the straight lead.

                I weighed 153 lbs with 117 lbs second and 116 lbs third.

                It didn’t fish particularly well however there were plenty of 80 lb + weights.

                Tony Rixon won the silvers with 65 lbs of tanners 35, (keeps on telling me he won’t fish for them but Dean Malin keeps on bending his ear and I think he’s caved in).

                      Bob.

                      I received my rods last week and I had an email from somebody who had just bought one however you’ll have to be quick as they will sell very quickly and a lot of anglers who saw the pre-production model have them pre-ordered.

                                        There’s and old song by the Tremeloes, called silence is golden. At your age you should remember it well, what else can I say.

                                        Coops it’s best to phone around as th rods will go as soon as they hit the shelves. Andy does have some on order at Stafford Moor however I don’t know if they are pre-ordered.

                                          Funny, he was telling me tonight Jim Baxter was telling him he’d be interested in reading it for how he like to fish. He didn’t realise that I’d lent him some of your floats a couple of weeks ago.
