Colour and spacing.
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2020 8:46 pm
I have just obtained a rod, that has a Dawsons of Bromley transfer, but looks exactly the same as a Chapmans 500, ie, detachable butt and two sections, the only difference is, it is 10ft 6 inches in length, and it has a screw in butt button. Some time in it's past it has had new rings fitted,(of various patterns) with Red/Yellow thread, just like the Japanese rods, (YUK). What I need from you gents is what colour I should use, and some idea of the eye spacing, also which type of eyes would be appropriate, hi or low?
Any help would be appreciated, as I would like to keep the rod as near original as possible, but I can find no mention anywhere about this type of rod, coming out of the Dawson's stable.
