The craftsmen and classic tackle enthusiasts will love this gem. If you have an hour and a half to kill give this a watch.
Some real eye operners.

Excellent Fred, a bit late finding this, I have a cane Barbel rod hat was made for me in Derbyshire by a well known rod maker in the area, a guy called Stephen Woolley who had worked for Fosters, a Peak District tackle shop and one time manufacturer of fishing gear. I don't use it now, I did take it when I went on the Ribble with Alex and showed him it, I won't be selling it any time soon, it was at the time a one off made to my requirements, caught some great fish with it and will hopefully keep those fishing memories, like we all do.
Great stuff, I have an old Hardy cane rod which I recently refurbished. Very slow action but nice to use occasionally.
