Thanks Badger ! I am very impressed with Steve's work . If anyone needs a refurb he really does take time and effort over the result . Highly recommended ! I cannot wait to get the rod bent into a Pike !

I finally managed to give the Dennis Pye rod a proper airing . I teamed it up with a " Seldex" and this was the result . The rod easily handled the 3 oz leads and bait we use on the tidal river . It a " pokey " stick !

Please excuse the silly hat !
