Shimano Baitrunner 4000 with the original single handles
NW 42” glass landing net and spreader block
2lb Tri-cast Legends and 1.25lb Fibatube rods built by Bob Morris
Original Solar stainless banksticks from when he just started Solar after making them for Rod H
Nash sacks and weigh slings
Wavelock 50” brolly
All still in working order, never serviced and I still use it now and then.
I wish I hadn’t sold my Solar satellite monkey climbers with TB PTFE bobbins, mk1 swingers, Abu C5’s, Optonic super compacts, Optonic conversions, Micron Minis though

There are some rod building groups on fb, and tons of stuff on YouTube.

Can you post about these when you've finished.? I'd love to see them, along with any tips and tricks.
A fishing buddy and me have collected 3 * 2.75 ballistas each and plan to rebuild them someday.

I had the very same Nash cover, it replaced the original blue cover and lasted me a good few years.

If I'd have seen it sooner I'd have won the cigar 
The Nash loops were unique. Still got the weigh sling.

Have a cigar 👍
It’s a sun lounger cover made by Nash ( the triangle peg loops was a clue as they were used on a lot of the early gear - Happy Hooker slings, early Titans etc). It was designed to cover the sun loungers of the time which did come in single dark covers sometimes, brown being sought after, but most seemed to come in orange and yellow swirly patterns 😲 this coupled with shiny aluminium frames were a bit loud to say the least.
Often Lafuma are quoted but these were steel framed, 6 or 8 legs and a bit lower with a simple locking rack system to raise the head end. The cheaper Argos style sunlounger had two legs ( making it inherently unstable), ratchet system to crank the head up, which failed with amazing regularity and a slightly tapered bed profile as opposed to the squarer Lafuma. At the time most outlets which sold garden furniture mainly consisted of these sunloungers or white plastic patio chairs and tables. Only specialist or upmarket outlets had anything different.
Probably more bad backs and neck injuries were down to these loungers than anything else 👍

Is it one of them old Argos sunlounger covers? I think Kevin Nash or Fox made them? Me mate had one with foam sandwiched between the two covers. Also had a leg conversion kit so the legs were adjustable. From memory made by Preston innovations.thing weighed a ton..

It’s a question of where do you stop.
A wooden boat with sails as a Baitboat? 🤣🤣👍

The old cane set-up looks great Singlebleep 
I know it would all be a bit unnecessary and just a 'project', but I always thought a set of wooden cased Parsons or Nevs would be appealing.
Ill have a guess Aqua mattress topper ?
