After some help
l bet you've heared this before.......
l have a kennet perfection needs a rebuild , l have picked up a few eyes etc
But what it needs is a top end , is there anyone out there that has a correct lengh top or can one be brought new ?
l dearly want to do the work myself
this rod is an early one , all the decalls have gone
but only cost £2 at a car boot !!
so got to be worth a go
would love to get it wet

Re: B james
Hello Torridge Cane, you might get lucky and find an old 2-piece split cane fly rod which will give you the length of cane you require and diameters with in that length for the correct thicknesses within its top section. Its a ruse I have used myself, you may get a softer top in its action, but as the rod only cost you £2.00 anyway, you will at least get the job done cheaply. Down your way in October staying at Cranford Cottages, St Giles in the Wood, Torrington.

The good angler is not the one with expensive equipment. Common sense, observation and trying to realize

I think that as it only owes you 2 pounds it may be worth getting a rod builder to make a new tip section?
Out of interest how do you know it's a kennet perfection?
