well the one zziplex i seen at tonys was an 50/50-XTR with a gay set of rings attached, but 525-euro was way over the top :shock: , yesterday afternoon i noticed he had just put out a Dymic HST for 360-sterling again over the top IMO.. considering im selling a brand new Conoflex Anubis Tournament for E400 :wink:

Have to agree the show was great, plenty of bargins if you looked around.

I want to say a Huge thanks to Andrew Paddy and John (casting pro's) for all their time and paitence with me over the weekend, I spent all day Sunday with them and went home with an extra 60 yards in my pocket as a result of their help. A most enjoyable 2 days and I've even got 3 blown up reels and all the line burns to show for it!

Regards,

Keith.

Crowning moment for Sea Anglers was the Casting Demo, Tony's must have left all his good stuff in Belfast! Picked up more Lures and a Wee Spinning Rod, Can't complain like, But with L&G Tackle, Tonies, Eurotackle and such at the Belfast show, Dublin was a wasted Journey....

And who's Idea was it to Charge people to use a Motorway? :lol:

Nice to see some old friends, and meet some forum members I havent met before...

No doubt I'll be back next year. :lol:
