Re: Ferruleless cane rod.
A 12 ft ferruleless must be very light to trot with - but I suspect for roach/dace and not chub!

Re: Ferruleless cane rod.
Olly,
Light enough for trotting, fast on the strike, but not ideal for anything other than small to medium sized fish. I attach a picture of the rod Wal restored for me and one of me playing a crucian weighing just over a pound. I wouldn't fancy hooking a 4lb chub on it.

Re: Ferruleless cane rod.
Is that the 12fter or a 13?
I have a 2 section ferruled 11fter, whole cane with whole spliced split cane, and landed chub on it from a small stream about 2lb. Very similar action.
