It will need a refurb and I am considering having it done professionally due to lack of spare time these days ( your recommendations for the job are welcome).
I'd appreciate views on my hunch that this is an earlier rod than examples I've seen previously. Note the shape of the cork and winding check, also the gold label instead of the usual blue/gold one. It certainly has the feel of a good rod...Can't wait to use it.
