Wanted - Paul Boote / Graham Phillips rods

Hi chaps, does anyone have any of the above they are looking to sell, in particular the float rods? I had a Graham Phillips match rod built in an Excalibur blank years ago that I gave away to a junior (😕) and I've always fancied one of the Tench float rods

Let me know if you have anything

Cheers

John
 
Hi John
I know Graham Phillips rods are still considered excellent rods even now.
I have several including two 13' Tench Float Rods and a couple of carp rods which they put under The Cougar brand and also a Nicholas Whipp Float rod. He bought the company from Paul Boote. I think I still have a letter or two from Paul apologising for delay in building the rods.
I really am unsure as to whether I wish to sell any but I will PM you anyway.
