Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Ker-----Ching. :thumbs: Back in the day, Normark made some serious top of the range kit. Far too pricey for me i'm afraid, still fetches top dollar on the bay, if you can find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,191 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I worked for him mate Please tell me the MAP surived, please.........

Set a few top 3 sets up and a couple of rods, I didn't take the map out if the bag lol.. I showed Geoff the old proto type Titan, he gave it to me nearly 20 years ago lol.. Geoff Sailsbury, angling legend.................. img303_zps514151b8.jpg That's brilliant mate, Thanks for putting that up, brings back a lot of memories I worked for him in the shop when I was 17, but we got on really well, he used to take me out of the shop and around to matches with him, I'd be setting up his stick rigs as he was doing a hundred on the m5 up to Evesham.. I sat behind Dave Harrell for an hour or so up there one day, Geoff said where've you been, I told him I was behind Dave Harrell seeing how he was fishing, Geoff said you'll learn just as much here lol... I worked on the Normark stand up at the John Smiths Festival a couple of years, we'd do an hour on hour off then go and watch the fishing..... Proper match fishing then Arch, as you know... Geoff's a top man in my book, there was a lot of jealousy down here on the local match scene, mainly because he was head and shoulders above most of them, He said to me today it took him back 40 years today, he loved it, and when he was teaching my girl she listened and he had her fishing on her own in 5 mins ( that's when he told me off for my rig, took it off shortened it and made it right, I tried to explain I did have another 5 rods on the go, but there's no excuses with a perfectionist lol) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
