A vast range of tackle is on offer at Mullock Jones’ next auction on March 21 and 22, with more than 1500 lots spread over two days.

Highlights include an unused 4.5in Chris Lythe Scotton Long Trotter alloy centrepin, while at the other end of the scale there is a 2in all-brass multiplying reel dating to the early part of the 19th century, with an inscription reading “Clarke late Higginbotham maker, No 91 Strand, London”.

Lures include a 3in Stephenson Spiral Spinner c1898 stamped Farlow’s, 191 The Strand London, and a 1.5in nickel silver Cleopatra lure, with a fin stamped Patent. Collectors of Hardy tackle seeking the unusual will delight in a 7.5in brass Larmouth big-game disgorger, centrally stamped Hardy’s, Alnwick.

And if you’re running a little low on floats there is a vast assortment of all shapes and sizes, from pike to pole, porcupine quills to wagglers and stick floats. See the full range at www.mullockjones.co.uk
