Hi Folks,
Bear with me as I explain myself - I was a tackle dealer in Manchester for 35 years, many of those (15 years) supplying black lug and sea baits to the sea anglers in the Manchester area - my question is that I used to deal with a great bait digger/pumper called Derek Andrews and would like to know what happened to him, as I lost touch when my business changed direction to carp fishing in the 90's.
Ironically, I have re-found a new lease of life with sea angling after a holiday in Rhosneigr this year, rooting-out my old ZZiplex 2500, Abu 7000c, etc and look forward to some shore fishing this/next year - any help appreciated.

Hi rodbuilder,

 Firstly, welcome to the forum!

 I have split your message out into a new thread. Primarily because I have not used that button before and I wanted to see what it did Laughing  

 Did the digger you used to know go by the name Andy Bait? If so I am afraid he may no longer be with us. Passed away last year. https://www.rhyljournal.co.uk/announcements/deaths/deaths/19565427.Derek__Andrews/

Hi and welcome.
I understand Zziplex are closing so your rod sounds set to be an appreciating classic.
From your user name I take it you do some customising?

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for the info on Derek Andrews (Andy Bait), sorry he has passed and wish I had kept in touch with him.
As my 'username' would suggest, I was a pro rod builder for 35yrs and still do a bit but no volume stuff nowadays, mainly repairs, new rings etc,
RB
