Thanks for that Bri, I'm going to give him a bell tomorrow, maybe book a lesson.

I expected you to be the first to reply to this one Alan!

Started practising with a 7wt Shakey Xcede for more feel, then moved to the AEG with 5wt XS on it.

Aye you did hear Angel 2, I invested in it for my 30th. Don't worry, I didn't pay full price.

davefromtheattic

I had a feeling you'd say that. It's not the TE though ;-), but fair point. It's what I was thinking in the back of my mind anyway. You still using the max line speed, or is that the "casting" rod, the Helios being the "fishing" rod?

davefromtheattic

I'll let you know how I get on with the Hardy when I get a chance to get out.

The early ones were great- see Hank Marvin.
Jimi's goes so far out of tune during "Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock that it is impossible to tab the solo.
Telecasters were a solid workhorse- see Roy Buchanan.
Knopffler's red Strat is customised beyond recognition.
My pride and joy was a Gibson Flying V, until an eejit dropped it down the fire escape at Nicky Tam's. :(
'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

it was davefromtheattic speak, he plays guitar, we had a discussion once about using guitars as an analogy to rods, i never seen a stratocaster in my life :lol: but i assume its a good allround classic that would outdo a few modern guitars,

i could be very wrong there though :lol:

You shouldn't have made the comparison - I've seen what Dave does to guitars!!!

Right now he'll have that Hardy stripped back to the blank while he wires up some humbucker pick ups to it!! :lol:

Now if fishermen were analogous to guitars I can certainly see that Alan would be a strat man. Extreme use of the whammy bar and pedal being mandatory.
