It does look like it's been in a few wars !! Deffo been abused. I think it needs a new foot fitting and a good cleaning up by a professional . I may well be wrong but it does look like it can be rescued !

bit of white gloss and it will look a treat

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Dant you'll have to put up picc's of it when you've had it sorted, I hope it cleans up ok for you !!

 

I went mad last night and put an order in with Chris Lyth for one of his 1915 Avons........at the moment it 'll be 18 months down the line before it will be in my cuboard. You never know he might get a spurt on and manage it sooner.

Just had a nose through your blog.. Congrats on the PB Brownie and the slendid Roach. !

 

 

Thanks! :offtopic: I try and beat at least one PB every season and despite some pretty good catches this was begining to look like the first season since 95/96 when I hadn't achieved it. So despite the fact the brownies were a bit of a menace on Monday (I was after roach and dace) beating my previous PB my 1½lb was pretty satisfying - especially on a float rod, centrepin (a Chris Lythe) and fairly fine tackle.....

I have been debating this over the last few days after having a chat with Chris. I haven't quite made up my mind which one but I think I will be ordering the same as you but with a lever check instead of the button. It won't be in the cupboard though when I eventually get it. Did he also tell you about the new anodising.:D

I haven't spoke to him i just orderd it online through his website. To be honest I like the colour of the 1915 Avon on his site. I hadn't thought about the check button / lever. Still 18 months leeves plenty of time to phone Chris and make small changes if need be.

Thanks for all your replys and advice guys. Thanks to Anglers Net and more specifically Jigotai I've got a way of salavaging the poor old thing..

 

Cheers

I'm glad it can be saved Dan, I wouldn't be without mine.

I thought Jigotai would be the one to help, he kindly helped me with mine.

Even though I usually spell his name wrong, sorry Andy. :(

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

Just done the deed and ordered a 1915 4'' Avon pattern 11/8 with lever check. It was a hard choice between the AJPand the 1915 but I think that the 1915 is probably more versatile.
