LD The Benny Ashurst rods were ferruleless and the Trent version which I have is very light - I suspect the Benny Ashurst Match rod even at 14 foot 6 inches to be only marginally heavier but still what I would call light. I have a Billy Lane Match rod which has ferrules and that is substantially heavier than the Ashurst rod.Lea Dweller wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 12:04 pm I was not teasing you about a Benny Ashurst Match rod being available yesterday, there usually is! I must confess to never having seen a 14 foot six version though, I would think it would be a bit heavy! I would definitely like to attend a Crucian day, I will watch out for news!
I will swop you my Oliver's glass rod for an Allcocks Benny Ashurst Match Rod complete with original bag and stoppers. Are you tempted?
