Corbett 9’4” Palonka Spinning Rod
This is the rod I bought at auction, it’s in really good nick and H13002 on the butt end dates it 1957, it looks hardly used and has the lockable ferrule with a spring loaded pin. The rings, lockable bands and butt cap are very attractive. I’m looking forward to using it after Carp and it looks very suitable for Barbel.

Does the Corbett have a steel centre - either optional or all rods?

That looks like it would make a fantastic barbel rod, especially for the larger ones! Well done Dave.
