For those who enjoy collecting or using old tackle the fair is on the 16th November at the Abbey Sports Stadium in Redditch. Have your old tackle valued, buy some more or just gossip about it. All the usual dealers plus a visit from the Richard Wheatley Museum with part of their collection

Thanks for this FBF, looks like a good show.
Are there many members who fish with either vintage tackle or new bamboo rods?
There are a few of us who were thinking of getting togther and comparing gear and doing a bit of fishing.

I don't know locally but there seems to be a lot of people who collect vintage tackle, and a ever growing number of people who are fishing with cane rods and old reels. There seems to be an ever increasing number of people in Devon selling vintage tackle on eBay so one assumes that there must be some interest. My own collection runs to several hundred items made or sold by Richard Wheatley
