Pretty sure it's an Allcocks but not a clue which one

Post by Wallyboy Rob »

I bought this rod at a ridiculously low price a couple of years ago, it seemed to have been rewhipped and a fuji style bottom eye put on i'm guessing in the 70's.

My good chum Paul D and I are pretty sure it's an Allcocks so if any of you gentlefolk can identify it for me I would be most grateful. :Hat:

The reel bands look like those used by Edgar Sealey, but I could be wrong...
