Greentura wrote:very nice Pandafodder, when i was looking for a longer cane rod i was given a FJT to waggle in the back garden of a rod builder friend and knew it was one for me. it took a while to find the first one but now i have a couple myself, one being a Barder restored one and the other two have been rebuilt from very poor examples, only the middle section was used in reality, with hardlon lined lowbells right through to be used as barbel, tench and bream rods. I added a short mid section, uprated the tip sections to Mk4 tips and had short handels made as well. I also have an original handle that was damaged and cut down by a previous owner that i have had refurbished for my Barder rod which makes it easier to use in confined swims. Are you the Pandafodder at Maidstone by the way?

Hi Greentura! I replied to your post earlier but it doesn't seem to have sent??.....I like what you have done to the FJ's Nice mods.....If you want to change your hardlon rings for aqualite Hopkins&Holloway are doing them again...
I'm Pandafodder from widnes....Didn't know there was another....are they on here....

I recently restored Hunter sp that I sold on ebay....It actually sold better with the crack in the original but cap than one that went previously with a new one fitted.....I wonder if anyone saw it....I cant upload any of the picks because they are to big.....

Its a very nice looking rod but I hadn't appreciated just how thick the butt section is on the FJT taper. It really does look very powerful.
