The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

My brother phoned me this afternoon to say there was a Chapman Amwell cane rod in his local (Hoddesdon, Herts) junk shop, and did I want it as it was £20. Once I had recovered from this question, I said yes, yes and more yesses. He said it may need a tidy up but to him it looked OK. Has anyone used a Amwell, it says on the Chapman website that it is a 1lb tc, which is the same as the Chapman 500, but it's a tad longer.

Thanks

Bargain of the year the Amwell is a lovely allrounder, great chub rod,my only criticism is it is a little heavy in the hand, but for £20 i am sure you can cope with that

A much underrated rod from the Chapman stable. A nice alternative to the 500 if you feel you need an extra foot in length.

Wal.

It will hopefully be of use, although the 500 is my favourite cane rod that I own. I need to see the condition of the Amwell and then make a decision on whether I will restore it or see if it needs doing by someone more talented than I....

Thanks

My chum Hampshireboy had one, lovely rod

That's a great find if it's a sound example BB! My friend in Salisbury has one and it's his favourite chub rod. I've only ever seen that one so I assume they are a good bit rarer than the 500s? Later model perhaps?

Lucky boy! If it's ok bring it to the Ravenfield match

Will you please ask your brother if he will adopt me?
