MkIV carp rods - the beginning

[Barbulus]

I know. That was the point. I always have thought mine were slightly more than 1.5lbs...but maybe they are not and I am not putting a solid weight on the end to bounce it......I can snap rods in lots of different ways but that would be too much...yikes....crack....!

Thanks Chris,
A great read.
I have 2 MK1V JB Walker kit rods that my father built at the time and I used during the 60s and 70s and still in great condition

"Hope this is of interest... it’s a fascinating subject" Understatement of the day

Fascinating stuff Chris and your collection of rods is mouth watering.

Thank you for posting, as others have written I could read this angling history all day long.

Hear, hear.

That's the main reason why I started up the forum in the first place, thanks again Chris.

Sorry me being dim and misinterpreting your post.

It becomes even more interesting to me now that I finally own a B.James MKIV Avon and a S/U MKIV.
