Rod Id/age

[Jamie Warren]

Hi there, I ve just acquired what I believe is a free spirit 1 1/4 tc specialist rod. Does anyone recognise it and would possibly know how old it is? Cheers

That was the range of rods that were replaced by the seekers
I’m going say around 2000 ish when coloured glossy blanks were the fashion but can’t be accurate for sure.
They were good rods. Epoxy cracking on whippings is common on them

Trust the angling engineer to know, cheers rich

there’s been a few of those cropping up lately there’s a few carp rods with the same finish ( brown gloss blank ) on ebay at the moment

Is it a decent chub rod?

I would say the rod is a 2000 rod !!
I had 3 ,nice rods used to come with a chestnut brown velour rod bag

That’s the one, the bag it came in definitely looks it’s age, but the rod is mint

I will let you know, that’s what I got it for
