Wasn't quite sure which sub-forum to put this in, but figured it would get the most views here...
Does anyone know anything about this rod? I've done countless Google and Bing searches with various combos of the words, but have come up empty.
I got it as part of a job-lot on eBay and the guy selling it had no info about it at all as he was just selling his recently departed dad's equipment.
It's 12ft long, in 5 sections, and has a slim black (Normark black) blank, full cork handle and a screw-in reel seat. Despite the "specialist" name, it looks and feels more like a rod for light float fishing - it's VERY light and, as I said, the blank is very slim, even slimmer than most other float rods I've got. Comes in a gaudy yellow multi-compartment sleeve (which is original, as it also has the rod name and Normark branding on it).
I've not had a chance to use it yet, but plan to this year. I'm just not sure for what - it feels too delicate even for chub or tench.
I'm half tempted to get in touch with the man himself through his new guided fishing contact page and ask the question, but thought I'd try you lot first.
