Morning,
I'm looking for an old style fishing creel I'm not sure if anyone makes them any more . But they were made out ot woven ratan or cane, they were like a cane basket with a flip up lid and a shoulder strap. If anyone knows of anyone who still makes them I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank's
Gary

I saw an add for one in the courier mail's weekend shopper yesterday. Don't know how much or where but as i din't really take too much notice at the time.
Regards,
Lachie

I hope you fish with an Alvey, cos it's an Alvey reel that fills the creel!

Morning,
Thank's everyone for their help I appreciate it . The missus did the Ebay thing and got hold of one for me so it all good,and you are right Midnight it goes without saying about the Alvey what other reel would you use on the beach.
Thank's

I know Gary, but I have seen people, who I assume to be southern folks, on the beach at Moreton using some geared, many moving parts contraptions:-X
I love my Alveys and Gary Howard rods for the beach, just beautiful.
Good luck filling the creel!
Cheers,
Myles
