Birchfield rod company?

Post by J.T »

Does anyone know anything about rods made by this company specifically 12 foot three section cane float rods?

Worth a punt or best to avoid?

If it the one on Fleabay it looks good, certainly at the price

All I can find out about the company is that it was that it took out some patents in 1950 and 1951, I will keep digging

Looking at the location, Abbey Road, Redditch, most of it seems to be old residential housing. Having been cut by new road construction, the other part could have been industrial.

Cheers MGs, I will keep an eye on it and if it doesn't go up to much may give it a bash. :thumb:

Seems a bit steep, especially with the high postage cost

Got my eye on 2 other rods one of which I kind of have my heart set on so in a way it's best I didn't get that one anyway.
