A lovely rod, I have a ten foot one of these, rewhipped in dark green silk with all original rings and fittings about thirty years ago as the old tyings were rotten, just about mellowed in finally and looks like it was built that way, I use mine for the odd pike on the Suffolk Stour and some huge eels in small and very old local pit that has no pike and sadly no wildies either, the lakes been there since my mum used to swim in it with her friends in WWII with the local beaches all out of bounds to the public so those eels have had time to grow. That rod has coped well with a few very angry anacondas at close range so far, a truly beautiful wildie in your previous post, Mike.
