Hello Gents,
I am going to be putting the above rod up for sale. However I previously bought it 2nd hand , after fishing with it along side my Daiwa infinity’s 2.25 and 1.75 t/c I would say the ted carter tip is nearer 1.75 rather than 2.25.
After reading reports on here I see the different tips were interchangeable with the butt, so it may be a 1.75 tip ?
I have taken measurements using a micrometer (not digital) all measurements are taken on the blank at the butt side of the ring in question after the varnish on the whipping has tapered down on to the blank.
So if anyone is interested, we need to establish what tip is on the rod and go from there.
Price would be £100, will not post but would travel an hour to meet from Thirsk. N.yorks. ( petrol paid for!)
The blank and rings are in excellent used condition, small amount of damage to the cork at the front of the handle but it is “nothing”.
The micrometer readings are behind tip ring 2.37mm, next ring 3.35mm,next ring 3.64mm
