Cheers Chris;
Went down today to Gerrys to see if I could get a shiny new reel to go with my shiny new rod... Gentlegiant said the shop was closed (correct) but that he would let the boys know I was going..(incorrect) However, managed to find the side door, (it was just at the side...) and was welcomed by Chris. Told him why I was there, and he made me welcome. I was initially after a Shakespeare Salt FS reel as the write ups and price was right..?? But after we discussed it I went for the Shimano BeastMaster which looks and feels lots better... (Wall image is important..)
I was also after a tripod as the one I bought in 1973 was showing slight signs of wear..?? An Imax 4' to 7' fits the bill, and fits in the car, so that too went in the carrier bag... Good chat after with Chris re local marks etc.
Much appreciated Gerry's well in!!
Now how does it go......"Well love, it was such a good offer..??" ...."Best price I've seen..??" Ouch ouch....
