Good afternoon Ladies and Gents, firstly I`d like to thank Admin for allowing me to join this forum, I`ve been fishing for the past 50 years , firstly with a Winfield ( Woolworths) cane rod , and latterly with more modern materials , I was given my first center pin over 30 years ago , a JW Youngs Trudex , and still use it for my still water tinca fishing and barbel fishing , I also have a Garry Mills Grayling Perfection which I use for everything else , trotting on small rivers , my local canal ( the Grand Union at Berkhamsted ) and for static fishing on small club waters chasing those elusive crucians , recently I was given a cane rod by a dear old friend , he said it would give me something to do during the winter months - its a Edgar Sealey `Nu cane ` float rod , complete with its original bag , the line guides were pretty rusted all except the tip which looks to be the original ( white ceramic liner ) , the mid section has a damaged male ferrule , and at present I`m trying to locate a replacement , I intent to sympathetically rebuild this old girl and use it on the canal , and local rivers for roach , chub and perch with my Mills pin. I have been following some of the previous posts regarding the restoration of other Nu cane float rods and now feel confident enough to tackle this one..
