Re: The Carp
Looks a good bit of kit. Congratulations.

Very nice, Sir.

Re: The Carp
I agree. I think you have purchased an absolutely deligthful rod for a good price. Lets hope it gets some usage as intended.

They look lovely Lee......
As an aside, I picked up a Chapmans 'The Carp' in glass yesterday, have you seen many of those around?

Re: The Carp
That looks a rather fine piece of kit - anyone know how it compares to a Chapmans 550 which of course is around the same length but a three piece instead of this two piece. I recall reading many years ago that the best rods would be one piece but that 10feet and more was totally impractical hence rods were built in sections.
I must admit it has often baffled me why Chapmans built the 550 as a 3 piece and not a two piece.
