I have just bought this from Ryan Burns.
I have one of his 550 Carp rods which is a fantastic rod. The 500 Avon is it's smaller brother and looks almost identical.
First photo shows the 16.5 lb Carp I landed with the 550 the rest are of the 500.
Tight lines, John

Ryan Burns 500 Avon
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Re: Ryan Burns 500 Avon
Both lovely rods, chapmans were a quality cane builder…I have a couple of 500’s and 550’s and a very nice 10’6’ “Special” I presume it was a customer order?

Re: Ryan Burns 500 Avon
No RBT, the 550 was a rod Ryan made many years ago for a gentleman who passed away. I bought it then took it to Ryan to have it rewhipped to match the Ryan Burns Kennet Perfection I owned and had bought new from him.RBTraditional wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 6:07 pm Both lovely rods, chapmans were a quality cane builder…I have a couple of 500’s and 550’s and a very nice 10’6’ “Special” I presume it was a customer order?
He then made the 500 Avon to match what I had got him to do to the 550. This was back in June of last year, when I found out that he had not sold it I phoned him up and asked to view it which is what I did today taking the cash with me just in case ;)
I have also bought a twin tipped Ryan Burns Grebe from his which he is just putting the finishing touches too.

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
