So you can see I would be in the poo if I fell anywhere while hunting and can't get up the hills like I youse to, so it`s river and surf fish hunting from my caravan. OK, this is what I've got, fly rod is a Kilwell Costomline 54-93 , 7*9", AFTMA 6/7, Reel is a Olympic 460 . I think the old line is a middle weight one but may be ok to practice with. Isn't old age a bugger.
Attachment 99255,

To be brutally honest regarding the gear you have, that is a 'handicap outfit'. Those limp hanging cock Kilwell hollow glass rods with the giant cant - get - them -apart ferrules are a chore to use and the Olympic narrow Arbour trout loosing -jam -on- the- first -run reels are well made but only good for 1 pounders. Grab some of the other gear on offer.
