No problem I’m going to keep it I’m trying my best to restore the tip them will use it as my pin rod

Still a fair price for condition

Hi Neil sold now un fortunately

Ordered the bits I need today sum of of 12 quid rings cleaned up kept some of the whipping back to try and colour match using the underneath as it’s not changed via varnish. My calculations are correct the tip overall length will need to be set back at around 132 cm. @Richard Isaacs thanks...

Got the tip out not clean though lost about 8mm off Carrier section I had to cut back leaving me a note of about 2.4 internal diameter

I will look at my options it’s just finding a builder that wants to take it on and what cost as it’s out of my capabilities by a long shot to do my self. This post has gone from me outing it to now wanting to restore it. It’s part of a couple of bits I’ve kept and was already on the fence...

Do you ever blank 🤣🤣

Haha sorry meant a number of what the tip should have bin and how much I lost. I’m very lucky as I am friends with Nick Buss and he would if I pushed do it for me. But he said don’t bother and just use the rod and enjoy it for that much performance lost and potential damage to repairing it use...

Thank you :) it feels good in the hand still I will keep hold of it and make it a user it will fish well enough as it is. If I fall in love with it I will look to try and repair it if I feel it beneficial. The rest of the rod is mint so seems a shame not to use.

@Ian Woods do you think they would on a rod that old ? To be fair its a stunner just Gove it a biff up its near on mint. Tag with out measuring it I don't think you would notice the difference in the tip the tip is 1.15mm so its thin as is ild imagine the original was about a mm it prob add an...

Morning all, I have a DAIWA Amorphous Whisker 13ft Harrier Match Stick Float Special awm 13s This post is starting without a value, as I don’t know what it’s worth some on eBay seem to be going for 165 pound. So some help on valuing and I suppose it’s only worth what someone wants to give for...

Drennnan one is good my one not sure if the same with others the weld sharp where it sort of folds over catches my zip every time and anoyes the hell out of me

You’re out there doing it mate that’s what matters, this sorta fake spring is messing with the fish I think. I’ve seen tench and crucian coming out then a cold snap there gone again.

Same I have a spread sheet with it all on 😔 but from his comments this morning it’s not over to it’s over. He’s definitely full of intention and if we keep rallying him up we may convince him over wise ☺

Thanks Alan

I just spoke to John direct and he said I’m welcome to post this :- “Yes that’s correct in a years time he will retire, that’s his intention right now any way and the truth. That being said if he continues you to get the support from his dedicated followers he will look at potential options to...
