    Replacement rod ring for Daiwa powermesh.

    Most tip ring measurements for 'tube' diameter go up/down in size steps of 0.2 mm. Example 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 ............ Cheers Bob

    Got mine (Thunnus 4000) from Germany at £154 each a couple of years back. My 4000 D spools fit as well (if you can put up with the different colours).

    Old bait

    Back in the days of the dinosaur used to buy ingredients from the likes of Rod Hutchinson, Cotswold and Geoff Kemp. Keep a lot of these for years and had good results.

    Korum aeronium supalite deluxe chair - edited and merged
