Bjames & son MKIV G compound taper carp rod. 10ft
10 days ago I bought one of these rods for a tidy figure of £60 + postage, it arrived in superb condition, plastic still on the handle which has now been removed. I really wanted another one, and now I do have another one The same seller had put another one up for sale again in superb condition, plastic still on the handle and with the pink lined butt and tip ring and I also got it for another £60. I shall christen the rods with a Mitchell 300 on each rod in a couple of weeks on a lovely little farm pond. Damn fine happy days

If they are in the B&W bags similar sold a few weeks ago for £180 so i reckon even if they aren't in the makers bags you've had an absolute cracking deal. Nice rods and very well made. I have the Avon version.

The one I have was in a Bruce and walker bag, see what the other one comes in

There's a B&W bag on ebay at the moment for £25, that makes your rods £35!

I'm not overly fussed about bags and the names, so if I could sell the bags then even better of a bargain, then I simply get Ellen lawrence to knock me up a couple of identical bags, one with red stiching for the red lined rings and one in pink stiching for the pink lined rings

If it's a B James & Son glass rod then these weren't made for very long Loop, after leaving Ealing Jim Bruce Snr only worked with his son (Jim Bruce Jnr in Cambridge) for a relatively short time then the brand was know as Bruce & Walker (JB Jnr & Ken Walker) after he retired. I believe that Ken Walker is still alive although Jim Bruce Jnr died about the time of the millennium.
