Hunter

Looking good Lee!

[Greentura]

Very nice. I'm just starting to restore my third Hunter now i have a new tip and have just fitted the new ferrules, as the originals had been 'folded' rather than taken apart, making the rod resemble the letter 'Z' when assembled. It's an earlier version than the 'SP' with the intermediate whippings and rubber button. just waiting for the thread to arrive to start building, incidentally what colour code is that on yours?

Love the look of the Quinnette. New to me. Shall look out for one

It's about the time to practice getting up really early, whenever I hear wood pigeons I always think of Tench

The Quinnette 9 is a very rare rod John and Brian at Chapman,s cant remember making this one they told me it was probably a one off.

Both the Hunter and the new 500 will be out on Thursday, just hope the tench are feeding.
Both the rods have had copper whipping added to the butt ring and a new Chapman badge to the 500







Lee.

Very pretty Jim! Thats a lovely whipping shade!

Another 500 joins the Chapman family
This one was a standard 500 but it,s now a de-luxe with lined butt and tip ring,s and the extra ring on the tip section.

That looks like a cracking rod, nice work, just like the others, really admire the Chapmans dark cane; just finishing a really old 550 and the cane still looks in top condition, will see though when it goes into battle !!
