New Poldark series features Thomas Turner fishing rod and reel

Filming is underway at the moment on the final series of the BBC hit series Poldark. We were contacted by the production company as they had a sea fishing sequence planned and were looking for some correct period fishing equipment.

Thomas Turner Fishing Antiques to the rescue! We sent along a lovely 2 piece Farlow & Co greenheart boat rod paired with a large wooden Nottingham-style starback sea reel.

The Daily Mail published a story today about the new series and lo and behold there is a photo of actor Aiden Turner as Poldark out in a boat with the gear on the seat beside him. Wonder if he caught anything?
