    Rod found in skip…any idea what it is??

    Thanks again Richard. It appears to be quite whippy in comparison to my 1.5tc rod but I suppose all manufacturers are different.

    Rod found in skip…any idea what it is??

    The green is more of a matt finish than the duo lite pictures above. Sorry about the dodgy pics of the rings

    Rod found in skip…any idea what it is??

    Thanks for the replies guys. I’ll get some pics of the rings tomorrow. It definitely looks like it’s had a refurb as the tip is painted white…you’ll see what I mean when I send the pics tomorrow. Thanks again

    Rod found in skip…any idea what it is??
