Now that is one stunning rod

Beresford hopefully there is something of interest attached.

Bumble , do my eyes deceive me or havn't I seen that rod before in a certain gentleman's Dorset workshop ?. Very nice and beautifully balanced..

Maybe a longtime ago
It's strange on the list posted the test curve of the Avon traditional is lighter than the Kennet perfection which surprises me.

I may have successfully uploaded another page from the Oliver's of Knebworth booklet - Rod Making Instructions.

Bumble , there is one on the bay at the moment , or there was , regards . Woolly Bear .

Interesting that they listed a 9' MkIV Carp. I wonder if they adjusted the taper through the whole length of the rod. There was a stunning Olivers' MKV Avon sold recently, it made circa £360, I expected it to top £500.

Bumble...did you see how much that Traditianal Avon went for on eBay the other day ???
