As the shop was close to work, I took the spool back. The guy behind the counter refunded me, apologising that it was old stock. They are more of a conventional tackle shop and so don't turn over the little bit of fly fishing stuff they did have in stock.
Cheers Shaun, i also had the same experience with a spool of tippet that kept breaking,i just assumed it was a dud and threw it away???
I am glad i asked the stupid question now will know for next time.
thanks Nick
I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed; and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.
