Thank you for your kind comments chaps!
Special thanks to Fredline for donating the tip ring and providing the rod in the first instance :Hat:
Hope you enjoy using the rod Mick, look forward to seeing pictures of its first conquest :fishing2:

Photos would help identification, what length is the rod?

Indeed they did, probably their most popular.
I have two, one with bridge rings, the other with high bells. :Hat:

Hi read your piece about the Dorset, I must say you have done a really great job of restoring. I have a Dorset for sale, taking it to the fair at Rotherham just been sorting some tackle out. My Dorset only measures 10ft 6 in. there doesnt seem to be anything missing, did Williams make them in different lenghths. Many thanks may see you at Easter. John.

Not familiar with the Dorset, but it does look to be a superb restoration.
All I can say , is well done.

All the best.

I have come accross more 10'6" Dorsets than other lengths so I assume that was their most popular version. :Hat:
