Shimano 4000oc/John Wilson Avon/quiver tip twin-tip rods

[Terry Simner]

If anyone is after one of these then I've got one, new and unused, sitting in its box. £85, pick up only in Bewdley area.
Also got a couple of John Wilson Ryobi Masterline (green blank), Quiver plus Avon twin-tips. Well used, but still very 'usable', and not used now for well over 10 years. £50 the pair. Again, pick up only.
****On cleaning up Avons for sale today (14/09) I noticed that one quiver section has a red tip, the other white. A mystery, until I realised the white one was 5" shorter than the red one! My best guess is, as the quiver tip on these rods is so fine, and the tip line guide is so small, I took 5" off the end of one, fitted a larger tip line guide, and gave myself the option of using this stiffer quiver tip. I can't remember when I actually did this, but I'm pretty sure now I've not used either of these rods since 2003. Soooo, a 'unique' pair of rods
Just getting rid of stuff in garage ...as you do

Hi terry are the rods quiver/float or quiver/ledger thanks

 

[Terry Simner]

?? Well it doesn't say how you are supposed to use the rods, but it does say "11/4 lb test curve, 11 foot, 3-6lb line.
Hope that helps.

Not a fan of the OC Terry?

 

[Terry Simner]

Yeah, they seem ok. But I bought 2 (in a deal) but only need one. I've got 8 or 9 (maybe 10 ) 'old warhorse' bullet proof Shimmy baitrunners already, so no use for 2 oc's. Just fancied trying a (more) modern front drag reel on a new rod I'm having. Not sure if I'll be a fan or not until I actually use one, and manage to latch onto something that I need to give line to.
Probably end up just using backwind anyways

The OC is a cracking reel for the price ! Very strong and robust ,a lot of pike Anglers swear by them,me included.
Never had any issues with them .i have had 8000 oc, 4000 oc and the 6000 oc which I still have
The D range is slightly better ,but not much in it .

The D range is slightly better ,but not much in it .

On paper it might be but I’ve got both and there is nothing in it.
