No, but I have a Marco "Marauder" 16 1/2-footer with put-in glass-to-glass joints. The blank is about 2" wide where the handle meets it. A sort of distant, unrefined cousin of your rod. I bought it as a sort of "ring-up" pole, and for casting a rather long plumbing-up rig i'd come up with.
What do you use your Zephyrene for, and what length is it?

Ah. Just out of curiosity, what did it sell for?

Re: Anybody own one?
Struth, the rings alone are probably worth that! (The price, not the postage).
I hope there's either a Marco collector/curator out there who bagged it, or someone with a special job for it to do.

Ouch! Still, I have a similar glass Rodrill I haven't used yet, so I mustn't get all covetous but wish the purchaser much luck with it.
