I did add a 7th ring Gilbert to upgrade it to the de luxe spec. (as I say, after advice from John)
And great minds...etc. etc. I also acquired (again from John) a threaded tip ring, because, like you, I enjoy a bit of swing tipping.
Yes a super rod and one I will not part with.

a small confusion . i used 7 intermediate rings + the tip. = 8 in total
here is a poor pic of my old stick.
Now you HAVE confused me Gilbert.
I understood the 500 had 6 rings, and the de luxe 7. Both numbers including the tip ring.

I have to gently disagree with you saying I am incorrect Gilbert.
I think you have misread. I said 500 has 6 and deluxe 7 - both numbers INCLUDING tip. I read that as the same as you are saying - 500 is 5 plus tip i.e. 6, and deluxe 6 plus tip i.e. 7.
