ZIPPIE...........Still got a plaster of paris spoon mold. I\'ll lend it to ya if you are feeling nostalgic. Think ive still got a fibreglass rod as well. We should fish a match with the oldest gear you have and have a prize for the best/worst. The older and naffer the better (might as well cos ive caught nowt recently).
