Killed it for me when he mentioned trainers, trainers are people like Lew Clayton, they’re daps, pure & simple.

Good to hear the name Lew Clayton get a mention. A hark back to the days when sponges were magic

im in my early 50's, they have always been trainers

Daps are them black plimsole things you wear in school

[Alfresco]

Christmas is for the children. When did it become an excuse to lavish gifts on each other? If I want trainers I'll buy my own.

Happy bunch on here

I have become a big fan of the Vans Ultra range in recent years.

Good all rounder that I can wear down the pub or walking the dogs - https://www.vans.co.uk/shop/en-gb/va...es-vn000bcebxv

so to answer the question got a pair of these from my mother, and everyone else in my life we have a no present reciprocity pact, which does make the holidays a lot easier.

Things like ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’ creeping in as well, ironic in a way that you’re picking up another word, daps

Boring I know sorry, but Doris and I agreed quite a few years ago, no presents or cards between us, it's just pointless, we buy what we need when we need it. I have my eye on a couple of things I want, monitor and docking station, but will wait a few weeks or so to get them. (and not because of the scam sales)

We are pretty much the same. The only gift I opened was a secret santa. If I need anything I get it as I go along. My mum did give me some money to get a bottle of after shave because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. Mrs M might get herself a treat under the guise of a present. But it's something she chooses and gets so it's the right thing.

myself and the wife went the other way, when our kids got older and the oldest had a new phone and the youngest a City away shirt with Rambo on the back ( youngest was especially hard to buy for, she said " Dad, I dont need anything and im happy with a away shirt " that was that )
We decided to buy stuff we wouldnt normally buy, like the cactus jacks, I would never justify them, so the mrs got them as a gift

I got a whetstone type thing for sharpening my Japanese kitchen knives and a cast iron cooking pot (didn’t want to say I got a Dutch Oven, for Christmas).

Didn't know you did sea fishing as well as river fishing?
Will you use a large fixed-spool with that beachcaster or a multiplier?

I use both but prefer a fixed spool as where I fish its very rocky and snaggy ground and the fixed spool is quicker at getting the tackle and fish back in without losing it all

Multipliers tend to be slower

I used to love my abu 6500 gr ( at the time it was brand new out, thats how long ago it was, Sea angler reel of the year )

I bet it would be a antique and laughed at now

Good reels for casting long distances on clean sand but not really strong enough to cope with rocky , weedy ground

I don't know where you grew up fishing but sully island , Rhoose, Aberthaw, llantwit , nash point are snaggy places

If you were fishing off the knap pebbles onto sand .....Great reel
