Make sure your rod is put together properly.

I once never checked, casted out and the front end of my rod ended up flying out of sight haha

Hahaha! I was walking past some geezer who was casting out a massive lead on Bournemouth pier, he let go of the rod!!

it went straight over the edge into the sea never to be seen again!

he fell to his knees,hands covering face ..

Peeed myself laughing as I walked by.

Done up like a kipper!

Poor sole!
