Thank you very much, that is an excellent video and it's good enough for me.
Thinking of the law. If I buy a fishing rod and use it that's great. If I am an expert fishing rod maker, make a rod and use it, that's also great. So home made rods are definitely legal. Coming to poor craftsmanship, if I make a home made rod and it's terrible (but is a rod) and get told not to use it, then that's discrimination. Now just to do a little research. I.e. minimum length, diameter etc.
Fishing Rods in the past were made of split bamboo cane that was then assembled in a hexagon fashion...It was a worthwhile skill to have and some I imagine still exist hidden in peoples lofts that belonged to their grandparents....
Quite a lot of old fishing rods in antique/vintage/junk shops........
I had a de ja vu moment reading that. I must have seen this on a documentary, or somewhere, at some time.Fishing Rods in the past were made of split bamboo cane that was then assembled in a hexagon fashion
http://penfishingrods.com/shop/produ...category_id=13 have almost no products available. It may be a site problem or maybe stock? Do you remember how much the pen rods here sold for?
Get a mixed size hook pack, they don't weigh much or take up much room,
As kids we used to have a complete fishing kit in a Altoids tin with the old stick on door draught excluder as a fish hook rail inside and loose floats, weights and Line,
Mr Fish on this here forum makes hand lines for sale (or used to) - look for his posting
Campfires are best shared with friends.

Saw somewhere else on the net that they also have had a family bereavement and have been closed.
It was a few years ago when I bought mine, but think the prices including shipping then was well under £35. Honestly can't remember but it may may been less than that.
I've also sent you a pm.
Thanks again, I read through the page, I suppose it should have first time round. I'm going to keep an eye on what and when they come out with something new.
From what I've been looking at it does seem like the best solution, thanks.Get a mixed size hook pack, they don't weigh much or take up much room
This is an excellent video, Mors Kochanski sort of mentions that a size 10 hook is kind of universal. That's not a quote, watch the video, it's a wee gem.
