Very nice find indeed. I have far to many dreams about this happening. Probably the best blank I own was found on the market for £10, all I need to do now is find the time to make something of it.

A lovely rod, and meant to be, I think. :Happy:

With luck like that Mark, you'll go and break the carp record on her maiden voyage.

Well done you. :Thumb:

He said he wasn't turned on by massive carp, but prefer smaller, more english looking carps, if you catch my drift.

Looking out of my office window I wish I was fishing too!

Still lunch time i shall slip back into my recurring daydream of finding a Chapman 500, MKIV Carp rod and a Wizard for next to nothing at the huge boot sale which is on near me in better weather!

I know that feeling.... working on farm land my daily views are, one side a small farm pond with sunbathing carp, the other the River Whitewater :Hide:

I can see St James Park. There are some massive Rudd in the lake there and a 30lb+ carp.

I sometimes feed the Rudd from the bridge in the summer.
