I called in to see my mam last week, and for some reason I went into the hall cupboard, at the back I saw a Fishing rod, not any rod, but the first rod I EVER owned. Id fished before but with my dads rod, this was mine, he bought it when I was seven, NEW!! for me!! two piece, solid glass, about four an a half foot long, wooden handle,I can remember, it was bigger than me, and it had a little blue reel, thats long gone now
I picked it up and I was seven again, sat on beadnell harbour catching sprats on tiny hooks with the big fella watching me.
Hes been dead over six years now, but I swear he was behind me as I held that rod.
Now I use the best I can afford, Penn reels, greys rods, and that shabby little two piece glass rod the big fella bought me...
I wouldnt sell it for all the money in the world.
