Splendid Ian - I would be tempted to cut that length down and use for floats. But as I never use a quiver tip it’s not surprising. This being said I may in the fullness of time have a piece of cane with a usable (cane) quiver if required back in my possession. Anyway I do like the tube and being repurposed it is surely a good thing.

I am amazed by the skill of you TFF members posting in this section.
Truly men to be envied in a very nice way.

Morning Peter,
In all honesty if used for floats the capacity would equate to 2 or 3 porcupine quills, such is the internal bore of the Spanish reed. My wife came home a couple of weeks ago with a 12 foot length of bamboo with a diameter of approx 55-65mm that I have plans to make a few float tubes out of (or a bespoke rod tube!)
Seeing as I now have a splendid stretch of the Wensum to fish next season, I though that I had better get organised and at least look like I know what I am doing

Agreed - I’ve been doing the same in practice for years. Trips Wensum bound most definitely on the horizon.

Excellent conversion/repurposing Silfield! I like that a lot
