About the show

Hello and welcome to 'CREEL' podcast from Efgeeco.com. CREEL is for the traditional angler, someone who might use a cane rod, maybe a centre pin reel, and someone who still gets a raised eyebrow in the tackle shop when they ask for a pint of gentles or a quill float. You might use a glass rod with your favourite childhood Intrepid reel, Perhaps you've grown up and now own your dream rod, a split cane Richard Walker MKIV carp rod twinned with a Mitchell 300 from the same era. The one mantra you live by is that your fishing should be fun.You angle to enjoy yourself - a shared morning with friends, a few hours after tea casting a spinner for perch, or maybe a classic June dawn alone, hunkered down quietly between the stands of reedmace as the quill flickers and wavers in response to unseen activity hidden below the water's surface. Collectors, builders, craftsmen, artists, single species groups, writers and experts are 'CREELS' quarry. We'll bring our discussions to you over the coming months. Follow us to keep up to date with recording schedules and future plans. You can listen to each episode by visiting efgeeco.co. the home of CREEL podcast or you can follow and subscribe from your smart phone using your favourite app. I'm Joff Elphick and I look forward to seeing you there.
