8ft ASPINDALE PIKE ROD

[Jeremy Croxall]

Wow, what a beast!
I imagine it was intended for boat sea fishing originally?
Looks to be in fairly good order, do you think the tip ring is the original?

I did have doubts as it seems too large. The cradle is the same type as the butt ring but the shape is different to the other rod. I am open to be convinced either way. That said the rod hasn’t been mucked about with at all. Quite a monster!

It may be the angle of the photo but to my eyes it doesn't sit well on the tip?
I have a lined one from an early fibreglass sea rod which may "fit" better, yours if you want it.

Cheers Jeremy. There is no rush, it can wait until we are finally allowed to meet up again. Many thanks for the kind offer. Happy Christmas!
