A six weight trout fly rod, fishing for golden greys at Llangennith. Absolute sport.
Look.like,a advertising from the 70,'sGolden Mean rod Post Holder.
Good orning members,
Standing in the surf light tackle fishing for GG's, Bass or any other species to be found in this environment, is one of the most exciting, enthralling situations the angler can find him or her-self in. Nothing replaces that overwhelming sense of adventure, partially emersed with the water lapping around your waist, in full knowledge you are sharing the same element with the species being sought..The bait in a pouch around the neck or on the belt at the waist, spare lead or two, hooks pre-sharpened to extreme and D.I.Y.. pre assembled traces, all contained in a pocket of your jacket for convenience or a small over the shoulder bag, totally immersed in your own little world, all faculties geared to the challenge ahead!! The only downside to this scenario is when you have to change a fly, bait, lure or carry out remedial work on tackle or traces, which requires the use of both hands. I solved the probem by purchasing one of the early"Golden Mean Rod Rest Post Holders", attaching it to my coat waist belt, thus releasing both hands to carry out those tasks. I used my holder many times when bass fishing, spending up to 2 hours plus n the water without having to leave for the beach.
The new "Golden Mean Rod Rest Holder" has been improved since my early version. Googling in the name will take you to the current page, shopping around could result in savings.!

This one is Chinese .......Ticker!Good morning members,
Searching for a more economical version of the Rod Holder Post I came across this advert on E-bay. I would like to make it clear that I have never seen, used, handled this piece of equipment, but if it is as it says and robust enough to cope with the vagaries of sea angling. WELL! If any member has experience of or used one of these rod holders, I would welcome a honest review.
Best regards
