Ben at BP Milling started at Sparsholt and seems to be doing very well.

(If he reads this..) Strangely I've never met the guy, but my parents were friends with his family, and one of his mates is a good friend of mine.

Sorry to hijack.. anyone know what the model name/number is of the Ultegra Ci4s from about 10/12 years ago that were midnight blue colour, with a non-folding silver handle?
Wish I never sold my set - they were great.

Good bait in my eyes. Would love to use it, I'm just unable to keep freezer baits.

That's the only thing I can think of. They had a TS for a bit, a shorter rod on an S blank, amongst a few other variants.

Park the idea of anything of any substance coming out of tomorrow's announcement.

Thanks Ian!

I've been eyeing up a decent pair of fishing sunny's for a while but can't make a decision on the best lenses. When living abroad always used to wear decent polarised lenses but they were often a brown-base and weren't ideal for fishing, particularly on a grey-ish/half & half UK day.

Does anyone know about this stuff in enough detail to give a decent recommendation? Would probably go Oakley if I had a choice, the Costa's look a bit bulky. Looking for something that will work through the summer but not be too dark in the rest of the year.

Shows how little you know. Plenty have taken the piss out of match anglers only to have their trousers pulled down.
