Well,
Had a sort out at the beginning of the season and popped my two dexter weges (28g and 45g) into my seconds tray for special occasions.
The old man comes round the house, the night before him and some mates sail to the scilly Isles. He says can i borrow a rod and some tackle. I give him a v large fixed spool wit 20lb mono (i have seen him with multipliers), a 45g dexter wedge and a mackeral shad. I told him my boat rods were in his house and to grab the uptider.
He calls me two days later, after reaching the scilly's he's caught three pollock and asks me what to do with a "rock fish".....I told him what to do, something will give!..... "my casting is much better", he says "getting about 60meters" i said "thats not bad considering the kit you have". He said "the rods a bit long", i said "no its about 8' he said "no its about 3.5 meters".....he's on the boat with my beach caster!
Later that night he calls to give the final tally, 12 pollock, a mackeral and a wrasse on a dexter, 20lb red mono, large fixed spool and a beach caster.
I was amazed and gutted, wishing i was there. I will never hear the end of this.
