PantheonThe Stewart Tackle Box
- by Ian on 17/04/10(published in part previously on PurePiscator)
Back in the sepia Seventies, that cigarette smoke-filled era of endless strikes, the three-day week (how familiar is that likely to become in credit crunch Britain?), inflation, Pan's People, the Morris Marina and patronising Public Information films, there was one constant: the Stewart Tackle Box.

- by Chris on 19/01/09(published previously on PurePiscator)
Let me introduce you to the work horse of my tackle bag - the rod that's usually first out the bag whether its for margin fishing for tench and crucians on a summers dawn, putting a heavy loafer float down a gravel run for chub and barbel or trotting for grayling on a frosty southern chalkstream. I'm talking of course of my Harrison Float Rod.

PantheonMatch Aerial - The Uncontestable
