Carp Avon

Post by Ljm183 »

Collected today this Carp Avon in original condition with it,s original bag.

It was listed for sale on a Surrey fishing sales page on Facebook. Apparently the seller put it up for sale about a month ago listing it as a Fly rod. After no interest in the rod, he listed it again 2 days ago, this time i was sent a link for the ad. Within 10 minutes a deal was done. It,s in fantastic condition with just a very small piece of the badge missing. A light clean of the handle and it,s ready to go.

A very nice rod indeed - the Avon tip is as sweet as a nut - I am sure you will enjoy using it.
