Re: Marco 'The Exe'
Very impressive. Hopefully your example will spur other forum members into having a go at rod restoration and so become true artisan anglers.
The coiled line travels from the reel, it brings up at last, the hook goes home, and then begins the test of skill. "BB"

Re: Marco 'The Exe'
You're right, Wal! Should have re-named it 'The Lomond' and christened it with a 40lb+ Scottish pike!Wallys-Cast wrote:A very useful rod and a very nice job you've made of it too. It would be a brill boat rod for pike.
Wal.
ABU 5000/6000, 25lb line, very large dead-bait.
(Forgot to mention it earlier, but the rod weighs just 13oz, balances 8" from top of handle. With ABU 5000 on, 2" above handle. Beautifully balanced).
