Lost mine when I casted the tip off my Shakespeare Europa 13ft \"rock rod\" (yeah right) off the Blocks at Shields Pier (damn those Mitchell multipliers)

I bought it from that tackle shop that used to be on Boldon Lane next to Charlie Bates pork butchers, anyone remember that?

[alan]

joking aside lads its got me thinking always on the lookout for
new ideas
but the naffest idea ever has to be the bell on the rod tips
back in the seventies on shields pier everone had one what with
them old floppy rods ding.ding.ding
and when you wound in it got worse
hands up anyone who had a bell on there rod
not guilty

Its quite surprising the amount of people that still use Bells on there rod tips,seen a few lately

Got me first rod from the tackle shop that was in westoe road,cant remember its name though.

[RobAdair]

Can\'t ever remember a tackle shop in Westoe Rd Andy?

When I was a kid (I\'m almost 39) there was the one in Boldon Lane, Aggis in Fredrick Street and Welch\'s in Ocean Rd (which became McDougalls which became ID)

Oh, and Woolworths in King Street did the Winfield range of tackle.
