Dr Cane has been a busy boy! Lovely job there BP, but then you wouldn’t expect any different from a true artisan like Wal. 👍🏻

That's a lovely looking rod BP. Now go get some carp. Oh yes, and a superb job Wal!

Wow, lovely looking rod! It oozes Walmanship, I have a 550 restored by Wal and its just sublime. I look forward to seeing photos of it in action in the near future, well done indeed!

Super looking rod, I have had one of these from new purchased with Xmas money in 1966,
it may have been the budget version of the above.
Now very shabby and in need of a complete refurb, maybe even a new top section.
Would be pleased if it looked half as well as this one. Something to do now when the daytime temperatures are often below 50f.
My "The Carp " SP (£8.10s) along with a 500(£3.12.6d) were my first quality rods,but that particular 500 has long left my possession.

Regards Tom.

Well done Mike - from all that I have seen of Wals work yours is another stunner of a rod - hats of to you both.

Lovely rod Mike, well done indeed! You could not have placed it in better hands for its restoration. Wal does a very fine job, a very generous helpful chap who has advised me on numerous occasions.
