An unexpected Martin James !

Thanks MGs, Sir.

Looks a superb rod AC. Well done

AC Sir, that is a fantastic job you've done there. You must be psychic too. I was only earlier reading through the thread I put on here about buying a Martin James rod off ebay.

I'll pluck up the courage soon to finish off my Rudge rod I started and then move on to the Martin James restoration. For now though there is too much to be done.

Well done Ashbycut,brought back to life ,i think it looks better than when new.First class job.
All you need now is a brassy avon chub on the end.

[AshbyCut]

Thank you, Gentlemen All.

[The Sweetcorn Kid]

Looks lovely, well done sir!!!

[Loop Erimder]

I wondered where I left my rod, can you bring it back now please.

very nice sir

[MaggotDrowner]

Lovely job, AC. And you wonder why I asked for your advice! I love the feather inlay. I may give that a go with the Floatcaster or the landing net handle I plan on making from the very broken NuFloat.

Exceptional workmanship Mr Cut.... Quite envious of your growing collection.

Very nicely done AC, I bet you cannot wait to wet a line with it. This type was one of the first cane rods I used ( also by Martin James) and it got me hooked. I caught some suprisingly large fish on it and with care I got them in ok. I still have that rod and will never part with it. All the best, Reedling.
