The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Gents,

While wandering around Brick Lane market this morning, I picked up a Chapman 450 rod in cane coloured fibreglass, two piece with a detachable handle just like a 500 or 550, total length 9' 2". All seems original and complete.
Does anyone have some background info on the rod?

I'm just pushing this thread up the line again, excuse the pun!

Does anyone have a clue on the Chapman 450?

Tadpole, I personally don't know anything about these rods but there is something in the link below about Chapman rods but only cane rods.

If it's a rod by Chapmans, they'll certainly be aWare (sorry!) of it here:
