Terry Smith

[charliewag 19]

I've been informed that Terry Smith, former co-owner of Terry and John's tackle shop ( later to become Gunnies ) on Parson Cross sadly passed away earlier this week. As well as being a fine angler, Terry was also a brilliant rod builder and repairer. I still have, and use, a spliced tip float rod he built for me in the 80's.

Did he do a lot of work for Anglers world holidays or is this another Terry Smith

Yes, Terry did a lot of field trips for Anglers World.

Sad to hear. Terry also invented the Polaris feeder float. 

RIP Terry.
