Milwards senior featherlite 14ft

[Richard Jackson]

A month or so ago i purchased a small bundle of rods , mainly for the spilt cane tip in the bundle to repair my Marco Arun but once i had collected said rods i realised the tip i had spotted belonged to a milward featherlite which was a complete rod and so my next project was in sight , the rod had seen better days , all the guides were bent or broken and held on by tape the varnish was flaking , the ferrules were loose etc , you get the idea
I have now finished the restoration using all original parts , i soldered all damaged guides and straightened them out repaired the handle and straightened the tip all that is left is to revarnish it when we have a few dry warm days

I am constantly amazed at the skill and patience that TFF members display in repairing or restoring rods. I have found out over a period of many years that I am not blessed with either!

I am looking forward to it Gary but , im not sure this rod would handle those , i do however have a recently restored Marco Avon which i hope will be suitable for them and i am midway through finally purchasing a Marco Trent off a gentleman which i would like to use

With the size of barbel on the Trent Richard possibly better off with your landing net handle instead of a rod.
